Absolutely beautiful hotel.

Thanks to Lonestar I was able to get a room for $48 per night plus tax for the entire week. This is the response I got: We appreciate your submission of a best online rate guarantee form. We have researched your claim and found you are correct in finding a lower rate on another website. We have confirmed the lower rate less 25% for you. Your rate is now $48.00 per night plus tax. Your bed type and smoking preference has been requested but cannot be guaranteed. It is too bad about the room preference but I'm going to call the hotel directly to check it out.

I just checked Hotwire using the SavingsBarn link and found the following: 3* Disneyland South-$99 3* Buena Park-$75 I do have lots of time so I'm going to hang tight. I booked a backup. I didn't use any savings sites since I wanted to be sure to have a cancellable backup. I booked Castle Inn and Suites (only b/c my sister had stayed there) and it was $104. Not a great deal by any stretch of the imagination but at least I know I have something and now I can hang tight for a great deal. I didn't try Priceline tonight as I am waiting to hear back about the Radisson deal.

Thanks for the information. What about my other questions: Is 7 days too long to book? Should I go down to a 2.5*?

Still no luck. I've been bidding each day between $50-67 and still no luck. Do you think the 7 days is too long? Should I try Monday-Friday and then Friday-Monday? I read somewhere that extended stays are sometimes difficult to get. Also, do you think I should lower my standards to a 2.5* rather than a 3*?

When should you choose hotwire as opposed to Priceline? I'm relatively new to this whole thing so I'm not too sure. Also, we are going to Disneyland in California on July 16-July 23. What is Disneyland South and Disneyland North? Which is closer to the actual park?

Oh sorry..forgot to post the date. One night only Thursday, May 17

First bid West Edmonton-$47 rejected added Edmonton-$50 accepted I got the Marriott at River Cree. Apparently it's about 5 minutes to West Edmonton Mall. I talked to my neighbour tonight and he had paid $129 CAD recently. Mine works out to be $70 CAD. He's staying later on in the month and his cost is $139CAD so I guess I got a pretty good deal. He said the food was amazing! Oh, BTW, this is my first Priceline win so I am very excited. I used the SavingsBarn link.

Thanks for the help. I haven't booked a backup yet but I will do so this weekend. I'm sticking at the $55-$60 rate for now. Tried tonight for $57 and was rejected. I'll keep trying every night. Eventually I will get something. I'm not very patient but I'm also cheap and right now my cheap personality is winning the battle :)

You are right. I am not a very patient person. I need to learn to be more patient. Since this is my first time using Priceline, I'm worried that I will be out of luck. I need to research and book an refundable hotel. I checked the websites of some of the hotels near Disneyland. Holiday Inn-$123 Hilton Suites-$169 Crowne Plaza-$157 Marriott Inn-said non available and sent me to another website. The Courtyard Anaheim is $159

:) Still no luck. I've gone up to $71 for Disneyland for July and am still getting rejected.

Yes, you are right, Hotwire was around $99 for a 3*. I'll keep trying around the $55-$60 dollar range for a while. If I see that prices are going up I may go a bit higher. I was thinking that maybe I should use Expedia.ca or something to secure a hotel that has a cancellation policy and then keep trying. That way, I wouldn't be stuck with nothing. What do you think?

We are going to Disneyland from July 16-23. I thought it might be too early to try Priceline but I went ahead anyway. This is my first time using Priceline. I know I shouldn't compare prices now to prices in July but since I'm new I went by what had been posted here. April 19-$45 rejected April 20-$50 rejected April 20-added Anaheim Hills $55-rejected Am I doing something wrong? Most people here were getting the 3stars for around $55.
