Gotcha!! :)

The resort fee is only $10 and yes the majority of hotels in Orlando except the Disney resorts charge resort fees!

I did it as a report win, I hit that button.. Should I have done it a different way?

Got this deal tonight! $55 for a stay June 20-22. Looked up the rates after and they are $96/nt So got a pretty good deal there! :)

We ended up getting the Westgate Towers on a Florida resident rate. :)

Are there any other options that it could be?

I am looking to stay 2 nights (3/10-3/12)in the Disney area. This hotel is on Priceline Express deals.. 3.5 stars Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Free Parking Restaurant Fitness Center Superior room 1 bed Does not state resort fee This is Lake Buena Vista/Downtown Disney area. Can you possibly ID this hotel? Thanks! Kim

Just to let you know, it is Spring Training for the Phillies in Clearwater right now and the time you are requesting, also Spring break is getting ready to begin. That could be why you are having a hard time getting a cheap deal. Everything is booked solid for the most part. We have a hard time straight up booking this time of the year in Clearwater..

I just wanted to update and say we are no longer staying this long this time around. I didn't like the result I got last time I bid (which is the disadvantage of this) so I went with Hotels.com and verified where I was staying first. We will be staying weekends here and there at Disney all year, so I will utilize this service again I am sure. But from now on anything over a day or two I will know where I am staying first so I don't get slammed in the face with all of the resort fees!!! Especially here in the WDW area )

Ok, so the resort of OK... The parking that you have to pay $13 for is TERRIBLE! When we got back that night, we had to park over 1/4 mile from the closest entrance just to get in. Horrible especially since you have to pay for it. Has alot to do with the fact Bennihanas is in the hotel. When we got there and checked in, our TV didn't work, they sent someone up to fix it, but I got to see all of the dust that was around and not cleaned. I wasn't that impressed to be honest. The pool (it was cold we didn't use it)wasn't what I would think a 4* resort would have. Just basic really. The exercise room was nice, and all the staff were very nice. Resort fees totalled $38.48 additional which if I would have known I would have gone with a 3.5 star hotel instead. It drove up my price alot more than I wanted to pay.. Plus side the beds were comfortable but only Doubles. They didn't have king sizes available.But you could get a roll away bed for $12 more dollars... NOPE! Live and learn, and I did.. Will watch what I do for Orlando hotels and make sure my bids are at least $25 less than what I want them to be!!

Thanks Jim! I will try that for sure

I noticed that. I usually stay at places that do not have one. It would be nice if they would include breakfast or at least free wifi when they have a resort fee, and I totally disagree with the parking fee!

I will let you know. After we won, we found out they tag on a $22 resort fee and $13 parking which I am NOT happy about. I think PRICELINE should have that figured into the hotel price. Now I am over what I wanted to pay by $35 AND they charge for wifi.. So I will let you know. Oh and it is double beds not queen. Oh well, live and learn right? Oh and the weather here.. is PERFECT! I only live an hour and 10 mins from Disney, but I didn't want to drive back and forth for the weekend. :)

Downtown Disney Lake Buena Vista Disney Main Gate SW-Idrive-Conv Center Those are the 3 areas.

Ok I am ready to go for this one! I want a 3.5 star for the dates stated above. I want to spend no more than $400 for the 6 nights. Which would be about $60 or under a night. Possible? Or and I reaching on this one?? :)

THANK YOU!! I got the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista for $68/night. 4* on Disney Property. Thank you again!! Now I need help with spring break! I will update that thread :)

Thanks for letting me know!!! :)

You got it, let's see if I can answer everything this time without hitting add first.. LOL!!!! Areas: 2-Disney Maingate 3-Downtown Disney-Lake Buena Vista 11- Sea World-Int Drive-Convention center I would pay more for a 4, but I don't want to pay more than $80 for this one night. We won't be there that long and it will be mainly to sleep :) I would LOVE to be around $50, but I don't know if I can get that or not.

I would like to stay under $80 would like a 4* or 3.5* I just don't want to get stuck in a motel. Sorry, I forgot the zone, anywhere within 10-15 mins of Disney.. So Any of the Disney areas, or the Sea World area would be fine as well. That isn't that far either. I wish I could bid and pick because I would pick the Residence Inn.. LOVE IT!

Hi there!! Yes there is, they must have gotten cut off in my cut and paste. Sorry about that!! Do you think I could get a better deal doing a name my own price? Since it is just for one night ?

I have stayed at this resort with PRICELINE's help and it was PERFECT!! We loved it!!!! I hope I can get the same room again! They also have a managers reception M-Th with free beer, wine and food. The night we were there it was hamburgers and hotdogs with potato salad and chips and soda. They should be way higher than a 3* in my opinion.

Stay is for one night this Saturday 2/2

Can you let me know what hotels these maybe?? I hope I do this right :) Sea World- Int Drive- Conv Center Compare $179 $79/night 4* Guest rating 8 Guaranteed Amenities: Indoor or Outdoor Pool Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center Downtown disney Compare at $133 $89/night 3.5* guest rating 8 Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Free Parking Thanks!! :)

If you are wanting to stay away from Spring Break, then stay away from the beaches through the end of April. We are pretty dry here right now, but there is really no telling with Florida weather if you will have rain every day or it will be dry or not. It is actually hit and miss.

The kitchen is mainly a want, not a must have. Hoever it would be very nice to have since I am staying for 6 nights and may not have a car for some of the time due to hubby commuting to and from work. (we only live an hour and 20 mins from Disney) However we may bring both cars so it really isn't necessary, but would be nice to have. I know it isn't possible to pick your hotel, but we were lucky to get the Residence Inn by the convention center (and 5 minutes from Sea World) with PRICELINE back in July and we loved it! We only stayed 2 nights and I wish it would have been a week. It was a home away from home! I don't want fancy fancy (like Rosen Shingle Creek, been there wasn't impressed too stuffy for my taste)but I also don't want to be stuck in a roach motel. I have to wait to book until my tax refund comes in (as you know they won't process until Wed of this week even though they have already accepted my return) So as soon as that money is in my bank, I am booking. I have been researching the hotel rates in the area now for about a month now. I usually go hotels.com (because the free room after 10) however, I don't want to pay the $100+ per night rate I am finding. I would love to stay on Disney property too, but again, not for $100+ night. (Sorry if I am rambling, just trying to let you know where I am coming from) I would like to keep us around $400-500 for the week even less if possible. What is the best area to put on the map for the first time I try bidding for Disney?
