Mommysabargainshopper Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 First time poster here, hoping you gurus can help me confirm this is the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge. Our dates of travel are 04/01/17 -04/03/17 and the real problem is there are 5 in our party, 2 adults & 3 children (15, 11, 5). I know priceline only promises occupancy for 2 however it seems like most rooms can support at least 4. Our five year old sleeps with us so double room would suffice. Would it be wise for me to book this & risk it? Do Disney properties even work with Priceline? We're looking for a property with nice water amenities (pools & preferably a lazy river) for those two nights. A Disney property would be a major plus. 4 star hotel in Walt Disney World- Bonnet Creek for $187 per night. Free parking fitness center business center restaurant free internet 3 Star Hotel in Walt Disney World - Bonnett Creek Free Parking Restaurant Free Internet Pool Numerous pools and lush surroundings are hallmarks of this tropically inspired spot. When I search for 1 room I can see that listing. If I choose 2 rooms, it disappears. Does that mean there's only 1 room available? Would I be able to get 2 rooms if I did 2 separate transactions?

AaronJB Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Welcome to Betterbidding PL/PRICELINE EXPRESS guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy. You can always request two beds by calling the hotel or at check-in, but the hotel can say no, charge more or can note the request on your reservation (which doesn't guarantee.) It depends on the hotel, day and who you talk to. While Orlando being more family-friendly is less risky for using PRICELINE for four, there is still a risk. Five is more of a risk (especially if a room has max occupancy of 4) and if you do want to take that risk, then I would suggest perhaps not everyone coming up at check-in. Some PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE listings do offer bed choice and with HOTWIRE, you can search for more than 2 people in the room. If a listing only shows when searching for one room, then there is likely only one room available. I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm that the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the links below.) 4* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $187 Free Parking Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center >>>Guess would be Disney's Animal Kingdom. 3* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $99 Free Parking Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool >>>Guess would be Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort When searching for two rooms, I'm still seeing both: 4* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $187 Free Parking Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center >>>Guess would be Animal Kingdom 3* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $99 Free Parking Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool >>Guess would be Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort Please let us know if you have any questions before booking. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Mommysabargainshopper Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks so much, AaronJB!! That is exactly the insight I was looking for to help me decide which direction to go. I'm super thankful the Caribbean resort (hopefully) allowed that second room to be added. I'm about to purchase through your PRICELINE link for the two rooms at the Caribbean. Thanks again!
