Wow. Did I really warrant the angry smiley? I used to think this board was friendlier and less rigid than the other one. Looks like that's no longer the case. For the record, I didn't realize I was required to give details of arrangements made outside of the questions I was asking and was taken aback when originally told I did not update my answers. So, I went back to update them as requested but apparently that wasn't enough. What hotel I chose after deciding not to go with Hotwire at all really doesn't make a bit of difference to the Hotwire question I asked. As for the Priceline hotel, I apologize if I did not post that on your board what I ultimately did but that also was not the question I was asking. It was identifying the hotel at hand. And I said thanks when I was given the answer. For the record, it was the Sheraton Safari in that case but I don't recall the specifics over a year later. If I had come here to ask about a Priceline hotel, I would have posted on it. I realize the information would have been helpful, but since I came to ask about Hotwire, I just wasn't thinking about it at the time. Thanks for your help, I guess. :) I won't bother to ask for any more assistance here.

Asked to update. Did not go with this unknown hotel.

Asked to update. Did not book this hotel. Went priceline route instead.

I asked for help identifying it in the title. By "got" I meant that it turned up for $90.00 on Hotwire. I'd be happy to look at previous posts to see if there is anything I would add to them.

Got a 3.5* at the airport, checking in on the 24th and out on the 25th for $90.00. Icons that came up were: Shuttle, Pool, Business Center, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Hi Speed Internet On this site, the Hyatt lists: Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Tennis, Business Only thing missing from the list I got was Tennis. Is the hotel I got the Hyatt or something else? The Embassy Suites' list and the Crowne Plaza's list were even more off than the Hyatt's.

September 2-4 3* $59.00/night Restaurant and Pool Thanks.

That's odd. I thought I had responded to this last week. Well, I did but it must not have posted. I said "that's what I get for looking at hotels so late at night" in regards to my mistaken icon identity. :) Thanks for the info!

August 26-28 Restaurant, fitness, business, hi speed internet Also listed as the Best Value at $44.00

Actually, I am looking for something in the Downtown Disney area so I can walk to Pleasure Island. I head to Sarasota the next day so just need someplace for the night. I do notice that the Wyndham appears to be showing up today for $20.00 more so I will probably just go with that I guess.

Have a three star hotel showing up for November 26th, checking out on 27th with restaurant, pool, fitness and laundry. Any idea what property this is? I did not see it on the list. Thanks! :)

Thanks.

Oops. Sorry. September 1st to September 5th. It came up at a rate of $108.00 per night. Thanks!

Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Tennis and Golf? Just to clarify, it is in the WDW area. Thanks!

I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed it drops again! :) Thanks for the help.

First off, just want to say I am happy to have found this board. The other board that I am aware of relating to priceline and hotwire bidding just isn't as helpful nor nearly as friendly. My question is this. I have been checking daily on Hotwire (often more than daily) for a four star or more hotel in the WDW area for October 29 to Nov 3. Repeatedly the Wyndham has come up BUT two or three weeks ago, it was $67.00 and now I think it is up to $87.00 a night so I am kicking myself for not buying at the $67.00 but I was kind of waiting to see if Swan or Dolphin would pop up and every day they have not, only Wyndham. I am fine with staying at the Wyndham, good location for Downtown Disney, but can anyone give me a guess as to whether or not they think it will go back down or it will just continue to climb? If I buy at $87.00 a night I will end up kicking myself if it goes back down to $67.00 and reverse for not buying and it goes to $107.00!!! I know you can't predict but does anyone have any idea of a general trend? Common sense would tell me that the closer it got to the time I go, the cheaper it should get provided they have availability as they would want to fill up rooms. At least that is my theory. I know I could probably do o.k. on Priceline with a $60.00 or so bid but I am fearful to do so for this trip as I don't want to get stuck at MWC or Gaylord Palms, both nice resorts I am sure, but I will have my three year old and don't want to rent a car. Would much rather have the predictability and convenience of either Downtown Disney or Swan/Dolphin. Sorry if I have rambled on too much. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
