Orange Lake Announces New Resort Locations

Orlando-based timeshare expands in 25 th Anniversary year

 


ORLANDO, FLORIDA—March 21, 2007— Celebrating their 25 th Anniversary with more than 110,000 owners, Orange Lake has branched out from their single-site flagship resort in Orlando, FL to a multi-site family of resorts. The company is proud to announce brand new locations in Vermont and Florida, just 8 months after expanding to the Midwest.

 

The first of The Family of Orange Lake Resorts' acquisitions was in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa®. The acquisition of the remaining Marcus Vacation Club inventory is great news to thousands of Chicagoland-area Orange Lake owners, who now have the ability to take a short drive to enjoy award-winning golf courses, distinctive restaurants and lounges, horseback riding, downhill skiing and a sophisticated spa.

 

Their New England location—Orange Lake Vermont, with access to Ascutney Mountain Resort's amenities—offers outdoor enthusiasts a scenic escape for all seasons. This Northeastern getaway is nestled between snowcapped mountains and rugged terrain. During winter months, visitors can enjoy 57 on-site trails for alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding & snow tubing, a Learning Center, Nordic Center and Young Olympian Ski Camps. For those who prefer to stay warm, the resort offers a state-of-the-art spa, a cinema, an arcade for family fun, The Mountainside Lounge and more! During warmer months, owners will enjoy hiking, bike riding and other outdoor activities in the surrounding areas.

 

Most recently, The Family of Orange Lake Resorts chose to revisit their roots in the same state as their flagship location. Their new Panama City destination is the perfect golfer's getaway. Orange Lake recently purchased 18 units from Bay Point Resort in Panama City, which offers 1,100 acres of natural beauty on a wildlife sanctuary overlooking St. Andrew's Bay. With access to all of Bay Point Resort's amenities, Orange Lake Panama City on Florida's Emerald Coast is an all-seasons golfer's paradise with championship courses. In addition, this expansive resort offers a state-of-the-art spa & fitness center, a marina, deep-water boat slip and more.

 

Visiting these new resort locations is simple for Orange Lake owners because of GlobalAccess™. Members now have the best of all vacation worlds through this points-based exchange program, which offers them the ability to use their fixed-week vacation or exchange their vacation for shorter stays at multiple locations within The Family of Orange Lake Resorts and Resort Condominiums International's (RCI®) network of more than 3,700 resorts. Members also have access to Partner alliances and can take advantage of cruises, air travel, car rentals and more.

 

Located next door to Walt Disney World® Resort, Orange Lake's flagship location in Orlando was established in 1982 by Holiday Inn® Founder, Kemmons Wilson. It is comprised of four unique resort villages on 1,250 acres.

 

The company plans to continue the expansion of their resort network and is actively seeking more growth opportunities to continue being the "home-away-from-home" to more than 110,000 owners from all 50 U.S. states and more than 120 countries.
