Booked a last minute 3 bdrm unit @ Orange Lake West earlier today. We'll be going there end of Jan. We are 2 couples (with a possibility of 3rd couple joining us for a few days) so there should be ample room for us!

Does anyone have a map of the resort? Any info about the unit? And ANY advice is appreciated.

We are NOT planning to do the timeshare presentation. Also, we're NOT planning to go to Disney or Universal.

Thanks!

OLCC Resort Map

I have a resort map, but I'm not quite sure how to send it, or attach it here.
Otherwise, send me a PM and I can email it.

For 3 couples, the unit will have enough room. All 3BR units in the West Village are the end units located in the Tennis Villas, buildings 5400, 5500, 5600, and 5700. The units themselves follow the floorplan shown on the corporate website.

Are there specific activities in the resort that you're interested in?

How are the nature walks that happen @ 7:15 am? And how much is it? Is it worth it?

The crocodile show?

Thanks.

The only three bedroom units in the West village are in the Tennis Villas which are right next to the checkin is (clubhouse), you are in walking distance to the pools and other activity. There are some units closer to the lake.

I have some pictures and maps of orange lake but it has been over 5 years since i was there last

If you have any children, the croc presentation is good. The let you take pictures of the kids with the croc (crock small, mouth taped)

Unfortunately, we've not done either of these - nature walk or crocodile show. We'd gone to Gatorland one year, before we even knew that Gatorland brought animals to OLCC.

That said, sounds like the nature walk would be very nice, particularly if it's led by a resident naturalist (cost is $5 per person). There's lots of wildlife onsite and having someone provide commentary/information is a bonus.
