Late update! I ended up changing plans a little bit, booked directly w/ Swan for this date. :)

Shoot, sorry, I forgot all about that. Will follow up now!

Hi BetterBidding folks, Just had a successful PL booking! Long story short, didn't think I'd be looking to book this particular resort with opaque booking (recently joined the SPG rewards program and points aren't earned unless booked directly through SPG). But the price on Priceline Express was too good to pass up!!! I got tired of waiting for the price to drop on SPG's site. Booked through BB's PRICELINE link and used the BBHALLOWEEN promo code for a little extra savings! Amenities listed for Swan below. 4.5* in WDW - Bonnet Creek area. Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Also wanted to give a heads up that the nightly resort fee is not 28.13, it is now 31.50. (Visible on the Swan's website as well as advertised during the Priceline booking process.) I don't know if that's just representing the resort fee with tax included now, or if it was an actual nominal increase, or what, but that was partially what tipped me off that it would be the Swan. Just an FYI to update that in the Hotel List Hooray! Thanks for your expertise, BB folks.

Thank you! I might wait a few days to book. If WDW'S POFQ, YC, or CSR drop prices on HW for that night, I think I might book one of those instead. Thanks again!

Hi, Short-term lurker, first time poster. Just got into Hotwire/Priceline over the last couple of weeks with assistance reading these boards. (Thanks to all of the lovely people running this site!) I have actually booked awesome WDW hotels already using HW! Anyway. Onto this one, from Hotwire. 5*, Orlando, FL, 8/24-8/25 2017, $156 USD/night, searching for 2 adults, and here is the full list of amenities using biddinghelper: FULL AMENITIES: Resort, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower This is the "short" list just on HW's booking page: Business center Fitness center Golf nearby Internet access Pool(s) Resort Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms I thought based on info on this site (and a little bit of outside research) that this might be the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. However, when I go to book it reminds me of the $30 daily resort fee -- on Waldorf's website the resort fee is stated as $35, and when doing a transparent search for hotels on Hotwire, I can see Waldorf listed with a $35 resort fee. On other sites, too, the resort fee is $35. Also, I have read from past visitors that Waldorf doesn't have self-service laundry, but it is listed as an amenity. Thoughts??? What else could this be in that area? TIA.
