Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (Lake Buena Vista-Downtown Disney) Holiday Inn Sunspree

[alex2323]

I'm trying to get a 3.5* hotel for 12/15/10-12/20/10. I bid up to $58 but no luck. Am I too early? From the calendar of wins, it looks like my bid should have been accepted.

Thank you. I'm looking for a 3.5 star hotel in the Downtown Disney area. I was hoping to get one for around $40/night because I noticed that other people successfully bid that amount. $58 was more than I was hoping to spend but my bid still wasn't accepted.

I saw that other people were able to get resorts (hyatt grand cypress) for $62 a night...And other people got 3.5 star hotels for $40-50 a night.

My guess it that it's early... if it makes you more comfortable i'd book a refundable back-up and try once a week or so at this point in time.

That's what I figured, but I have $50 bonus cash that expires August 9th so I'm going to try to find something before then. Thanks for your help-- I'll let you know what happens.

Just an update. Today I tried bidding again for a 3.5* hotel in Downtown Disney area for 12/15-12/20. Went up to $65 ($55 plus $10 bonus cash) and it was rejected. I'm considering going down to a 3* since someone else got it for $42 for december. I just really prefer embassy suites or radisson over the holiday inn sunspree. I'll use the PRICELINE link and post my results here.

Thank you for the follow-up, and best of luck for your next round of bids.
