The orange light means you have WiiConnect24 on. The heat you feel is from the Wii using wifi. If you want to you can go to the Wii settings and change it so WiiConnect24 is off.
Don't worry it is off....the orange light is nothing special, if you un-plug the wii from the wall and then plug it back in the light will be red again until you turn your Wii back on...
I think the orange light was part of an update; maybe the internet or something, I'm not sure

It is NOT off. Dont listen to these people. Off means that its not doing anything because its.. well.. off. Your Wii is in standby. Its in the manual that comes with the Wii. While the Wii is in standby Wiiconnect24 will be active so you can receive wiimail and whatnot.
As others have said, the power indicator is orange because Wiiconnect24 is enabled. What others haven't said is that you should definitely disable it because there's been some reports of the Wii GPU failing because of the overheating. The only disadvantage of it not being enabled is that you can't use the News or Weather channel. However, it's very easy to temporarily enable it for their use and then disable it again.

Completely false.
If he's got a defective Wii then it's going to eventually overheat Wiiconnect or not. The only thing is that defective consoles show their problems faster if Wiiconnect is on. Same thing would happen if it was only playing games.
I swear, people realize that almost everything is never off right? If you have a TV made in the last decade it's never off. You just don't notice it.
I could be wrong....but I'm sure everyone else here is, and not me. The orange light does not indicate wiiconnect24, acctually the glowing blue light around the disk slot does. The orange light means it is in standby/sleep, it IS NOT off. Simply hold the power button on the wii(yeah yougotta get up to acctually turn it off) for a few second until it turns red.Then my friend, it is off.
