Priceline Hotel: Resort Orlando (Disney Maingate-Celebration) Gaylord Palms

[scottzmon]

Used the PRICELINE link from this forum to begin.

Started at $65 with Orlando (Disney Maingate - Celebration), hoping for Gaylord Palms as I have been there previously and it is seriously impressive. Didn't think I'd get it so on on 2nd bid $67 added Orlando (Seaworld, etc) since I'd be happy w/ Marriott Grande Lakes Resort. Denied. Added Orlando (Winter Park), as it has no resorts and would allow me to bid $69.

Bidding $69 won the Friday night (4/30) and ALSO offerred me another night which was amazing and I quickly grabbed. Two nights at the Gaylord Palms for $85.72 per night with taxes and fees included. Don't forget about parking and resort fees though if you are planning on a similar booking.

Would have added LBV - Downtown but even though there is a chance of Disney the Hilton hotel was lame compared to Gaylord and that's if I got lucky! Besides I would rather bid lower if I had to stay at those properties. I'd easily pay more for the Omni or Gaylord even though the stinky fees add up.

Anyway as usual this board was a superb resource and helped me with my start point and knowinbg the zones to use for rebids. Priceline is awesome too.

Very happy. My kids will love the 'gators and the other stuff at Gaylord Palms.

I just booked for Friday also, $68, accepted first try. HA! Beat you by $1 :) I was also offered to extend my stay, I don't think I can but I'm considering it, don't see this deal every day. Thanks for the info.
