Hello!
Looking to gather info on Orange Lake Resort. Booking last minute accommodations for our trip to Disney next month and extended family is staying at this resort so I am trying to coordinate with them. Prices are inching higher as we are so close to travel dates and we are not renting timeshare points since we are not staying a full week.
I booked 2 bedroom at River Island. Free cancellation since I’m not convinced yet. The price is $2K including all fees for 5 nights. We could get a better price staying at Sheraton Vistana. Also, we could book outside of River Island and save some money. But, I am trying to keep the trip low maintenance. We have 5 kids and our daily lives are naturally chaotic. Schlepping all over OL or waiting for shuttles is not how I want to spend my week— especially when we will be doing plenty of waiting at the parks.
Is River Island worth the extra $$? I’m annoyed they charge for tube rentals but I can let that go if it’s great in all other ways. Is it super noisy at night? Are units in River Island nice or would we be better paying less and staying in a different village for quieter pools and nicer accommodations? We will have a car since we are driving down from New England. Any info you can provide would be appreciated!!
