Hi Can you please help me identify a Hotwire Hotel in the Altamonte Springs/Winter Park area of Orlando. The Hotwire listing is for a 3* hotel at $43 and lists the amenities as: Restauant, Pool, High Speed Internet Access and Laundry Facilities. The only three star listed in this area in your list is the 3* Hotel Orlando North. Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business. If this is infact the same hotel it is the one I am hoping to get for my business trip. Any assistance you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Tom

Thanks again for your prompt response :) I am going to go through all the links and great information you gave me, but first I wanted to answer your question. I only use priceline because of the sucess I have had, and becase of the negative feedback I received from the people involved with the "other board" whenever I asked about Hotwire. To be honest, I have never used Hotwire! I know priceline can be cheaper, but this is the first time I have ever heard in cases where it's not! Especially involving Disney! I will also check your information forums on Hotwire today too! It appears that I may need to give them a second look based on your advice! There are some hotels on priceline that I do not believe have an accurate rating (Hilton WDW 4* resort) but in most cases I cross my fingers and hope I don't end up with it and land something like the Swan & Dolphin or Wyndham. This was the purpose of my other question to see if there was a way I could help my chances of not landing the Hilton. Even if I end up sticking with priceline, the information you provided me with in this board has already proven to be a great asset because it will help to better educate me on Hotwire... so thank you and thumbs up for the new board!!! :) I'll will check out Hotwire (Disney) and pass along my feedback! Thank you again... Tom :o

WOW! Thank you for the prompt response and excellent advice :) I completely understand your explanation, and your suggestion will alleviate the problem :o Thanks again for the great board (I will be here every day) and for the

Hi I tried asking this question at another board before and it didn't go over very well, so I figured I'd give it a shot here :) We visit Orlando six times a year and I only use priceline so any help you could offer would be a greatly appreciated :) Is there any advice you can offer on when the best time is to bid? There seems to be two trains of thought that have been mentioned and can you please tell me from your experience which you would suggest. I have heard before (but can't confirm) that when you issue a bid on a certain time period, priceline has a "specific inventory" of available hotels they pick from in each star rated catagory during that time period. Once a hotel's inventory is used up, then it is dropped from their list of available hotels and they would then choose from the list of remaining available hotels. So if you were trying to win a bid on a specific hotel it may benefit someone to bid as far in advance as possible. Then I heard that if you are using the very valuable boards that are available out there (like yours :o ) that you can better monitor the trends and when a hotel starts to come up as available. In this case, it would benefit someone to wait as long as they can to bid to see what the trends are! So... what's your advice :) Thanks for your help and for making this great board available... Tom :D

Hi I have been an "everyday" visitor to another board, and just found out about this one today through DisBords. Thanks for starting it up!!! My question/suggestion is are there any plans to seperate the winning bids by vicinity or city. If all the "Disney World Vicinity" bids were in one area for example, it may be a little easier to research... just a thought Thanks for starting the board... I'll be here every day!!! Tom :)
