I'd be interested to know what you find. Thanks

Thanks for the information! You were all helpful! While we usually fly, last year we drove to Destin, FL and had so much fun on the 'trip'. My kids talk about the "Big Gulp of lemonade" in Kentucky and haven't mentioned the beach. Go figure. So I thought...let's go somewhere different this time and we haven't been east. So...I'm thinking....stopping on the way there and spending 4-5 nights in Carolina (N or S) and then stopping on the way home. I'd like a resort with fun pool and close proximity to the beach. I've seen a lot of offers on BB for the Hilton and Westin. However, I'm not sure what to expect for rates in late July. WISCONSIN DELLS --- I had to laugh. I'm in Chicago and we've done the Dells for so many trips that I don't think there's a place I haven't been yet! There are some fun things there though and I could probably give a million tips on getting good deals there. I'll keep checking on the East Coast areas and post back when I need more info!

Love Better Bidding, Priceline and Hotwire! Thanks to everyone for posting...I love how working together we get good deals! I'd like to take a road trip to the Carolina's, North or South...don't care...never been. Can anyone recommend a 'resort' or area that is a good catch in late July. We have two children, 10 and 5. Thanks!!

I'm doing the same search...although I thought the Holiday Inn Vaca Club had tennis and the Radisson didn't??

I found this for $57 a night...sounds like Holiday Inn Vaca Club...the tennis seperates it from Radisson I think?? Yes...No???? 3.5-star hotel in Disney Main Gate - Celebration Area resort fitness swim rest. business center laundry high speed tennis

Amenities listed are: Breakfast Fitness Center Pool Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Linked thru Better Bidding HOTWIRE link...I finally remembered this time!

Even though this is an old post, I feel like adding my two cents in case someone searches old posts. The rate of $109 for this hotel is great! We won it a few months ago and for the city of Chicago, you can't go wrong with $109! Granted, it isn't the most luxurious stay, it IS HOLIDAY INN, but I found it to be clean and well worth the $109 for the location. I've also won the 4* Millennium Knickerbocker and I'd MUCH rather stay at the HInn. So..to each his own...just thought I'd put that out there for others!

Hello - You will like the Sheraton Suites in Elk Grove, I've won it many times on Hotwire too! I live in a suburb further west but the kids like to stay there in the winter when we are "bored". They have a great indoor and outdoor pool although it looks like you will be too busy! :) The metra really is the way to go....good luck and have fun!

Isn't this the Sheraton that has the Coco Key waterpark in it now? If so, can you add the waterpark tickets on upon arrival?

Yes...you are right...it's the... Holdiay Inn Chicago Mart - $99 won for August 15th ******************** Fitness Center POOL Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access booked thru your HOTWIRE link and the price dropped from 103 to 99!
