Re-potting an orchid?

I re-potted my orchid today but I used a regular pot. Now I am worried that I should have used a pot that has the holes on the side to help with the drainage. Will my orchid survive in a regular pot? Should I re-pot it to an orchid pot tomorrow or would two re-pottings be too much stress for an orchid to handle? My orchid is pink miltonia.

It would be best if the pot has the drainage holes, to prevent water accumulation in the bottom of the pot. Orchids do not like wet feet. If it were me I would repot it and also use Orchid Mix Potting Mixture. It is not a soil but a medium. You can buy it at Home Depot and sometimes in the grocery stores as well as Plant Nurseries.
