Here is the full list of amenities on the details page of the confirmation Amenities Resort, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities AccessibilityAccessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower Also, to answer the parking questions... yes there is a $20/day parking and also a $25/day resort fee. Think about it, though... At $95/nt (booked through the link here, so also $20 off - so $85/nt for this trip), the parking and resort fee still add up to a huge savings. You're basically getting most on-site disney benefits (extra magic hours, park transportation, walking distance to Hollywood Studios/Epcot/Boardwalk, etc) but much cheaper than the adjacent Disney owned hotels. Basic rooms at the Boardwalk and Beach/Yacht Club typically cost about 350+/nt with a Florida Resident/Annual Passholder discount. No resort or parking fees, sure, but I'd rather pay $85 and dish out $45 for parking/resort fees and still pay $130/nt total for similar benefits. The Swan has also completed all their room renovations as of 2016.. the Dolphin is still working on it (I figured if going with the Dolphin-hotwire/priceline guests would probably get stuck with a non-renovated room). The Dolphin is supposedly close to completing their rooms, though. The epcot area hotels are my personal favorite area to stay for WDW due to proximity to both parks and water transportation/walking to both. Plus, walk to Epcot, then take the monorail to magic kingdom is nice. Keeps you mostly off of the buses that herd you to the parks at other Disney resorts. I've stayed at the Boardwalk, Beach, and Yacht club several times in the past when my annual passes were active... this will be the first trip to the Swan. Will see how it compares! :)

Business center Fitness center Golf nearby Internet access Pool(s) Resort Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Tennis nearby 95% recommended Amazing! (37 reviews) 4/5 Tripadvisor (2001+ reviews) An adult over 18 must be present at check-in to assume all liability for the booking. This hotel charges guests a resort fee of USD25 per room per night, regardless of how the room is booked. The hotel collects this fee directly from you, so it doesnt show in your Hotwire total.

Depends on how early you want to wake up I guess. West Fort Lauderdale-Plantation could be 15-20 minutes from the airport.. I live in Davie (just south of Plantation) and I'm about 10 minutes west of the airport... West Fort Lauderdale-Sawgrass (including Weston) can take 30+minutes depending on traffic. You can also consider Hollywood or Hollywood Beach as the airport is really more in Hollywood.

I haven't, but a family member did and was put in a room with a partial ocean view room. (Very partial ocean view on the 28th floor)... it was facing directly towards the next condo/hotel next door, but you could see the ocean and intracoastal... I'm not sure there is a "lesser building", however... there is just the main building and convention center adjacent to it. You may get a direct intracoastal/city view room.. but I wouldn't consider it a bad view... there is a separate hotel area called the "Diplomat Resort and Spa" in Hallandale Beach... if the hotel you win is the westin diplomat resort and spa on hollywood beach, you won't be put in a room in the hallandale beach hotel... I've seen people on trip advisor say they were switched to the hallandale resort due to the hollywood beach resort being full, but I don't see how that would really go over well considering the hotel that was purchased was specifically the hollywood beach resort... and the other hotel is not near the beach at all.

You're not going to find a 2 star hotel in south beach for under 100+/night... you may be able to get something near the airport or kendall... but even then you're right at your budget for a 2 star.. some 3 star hotels (and 2 1/2 stars) go for over 400/nt on south beach... If you want the south beach area, you'll need to almost double your budget... I live in Fort Lauderdale, and you'd have better luck up here for that amount

Started at $40, received counteroffer at $57 to increase by 15 to $72, declined and re-bid 59 and accepted. I love your site, thanks for having it up! Used the PRICELINE link

Accepted at $73 for 7/16-7/18. More than what I wanted, but I had been trying to no avail at lower bids. Have stayed at the Gaylord a number of times, but wanted something different. Here is the bid history for this one... First bid 62 - Rejected with counteroffer to add 15 up to 77. Added orlando airport for 64, rejected. Added winter park area for 65, rejected. Added kissimmee for 66, rejected. Added sea world for 67, rejected. Added west disney for 68, rejected. Added maitland for 69, rejected. Added ocoee for 70, rejected. Added orlando east for 71, rejected. Added downtown orlando for 72 rejected. Added universal for 73 and accepted. For the last 3 days I've been doing the same thing, but never went over 72 (received a rebid offer to increase by 15 to 87), so apparently 73 is the magic amount right now. Saw previous people won it for the same weekend for 62, but I didn't jump on it then. Did use the PRICELINE link.

I'm assuming Gaylord Palms, but I know it's usually a 4.5*, so I'm a little thrown off due to the 4* rating.... it's $102/nt from 1/1/10 to 1/3/10 and amenities are: Resort, Smoke Free, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, business, high speed internet, golf, spa, children's activities. Thanks!
