Priceline Hotel: What are the two 5* hotels in Orlando on Priceline?

In looking at Priceline's name your own price hotels in Orlando, there appear to be two 5 star hotels (one in Disney Downtown - Lake Buena Vista and one in Int'l Drive - Sea World). 

 

I didn't see any 5 star hotels on the betterbidding list of hotels, but I did see Waldorf Astoria and Ritz Carlton on the Priceline web site's "list view".  They seem to match up with the areas.  Is it safe to assume that these are the same hotels under name your own price?

 

Thanks...

IMO - nope, never safe to make that assumption.  The probability is decent, but not 100%.  Hotels on the retail side (list view) and the bidding side aren't necessarily the same.

 

I'm a member, not a board official, but have used PL for a long time.  I've several times gotten entirely new hotels via bidding that hadn't been reported yet, and weren't showing up on the retail side.

We live 2 hours from Orlando and can pretty much go any weekend on short notice. I was tentatively looking at 5/3-5/4 or 5/10-5/11.

Our budget was going to be less than $150. We have been lucky booking hotwire and priceline hotels in Orlando for well under $150 (Omni, Gaylord Palms, Hilton, Hyatt, Renaissance, etc.), but they were 4, or maybe 4.5 star hotels. I didn't recall seeing 5* hotels there before. So, I am naturally curious!

I hope you successfully bid for a 5* hotel and then post it.  Maybe even for a couple different weekends, getting different hotels.  Then the next person to come along will have the benefit of your experience and knowledge.

 

I always enjoy being the one to add a new hotel to the lists.  Looks like you could have that opportunity too.

At current rates i think you're likely looking closer to $200-$250 (and more likely near the upper end of this range) for a 5* hotel.

On 5/10-5/11, there are two PRICELINE EXPRESS deals...

Sorry, i my first read-thru of your post i only saw the first set of dates, perhaps you have a chance for the second set of dates, although another $10-$20 would likely increase your chances.

If you want to try bidding, you do have 18 re-bid zones when bidding 5* in the Orlando region. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

I've been asked by the moderator to post an update to this post from April 2014, before I can get help on a new post. As I stated in the post from 2014, I will post if we end up bidding... and winning... We did NOT end up getting an accepted bid. Hope that closes the thread. Thanks.

Thank you for closing the thread.

Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.
