nitad Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 I am hoping you can help me with a bidding strategy for Lake Buena Vista area. It seems like some of the 3.5 stars are nice so I am willing to go to that star level to get a good deal. I am not really sure where to start bidding so I will rely upon you for the best possible deal. I do not want to go over 90.00 if that is possible. I don't mind going to another area of disney. I am interested in a place that will give me easy access/shuttle to downtown disney.Thanks for any help.

I am interested in a place that will give me easy access/shuttle to downtown disney.Thanks for any help.Not sure about that time of year, what kind of strategy is needed; if hotels are available, give it a go for best deal. Can tell you from experience, gotten the Holiday Inn LBV Resort (former Sunspree, Vineland) on a back-to-back stay last October. Bids around $45. One thing to note in this area, resort/parking fees can add up. And if you're willing to go up to $90 you could try a 4* bid first, maybe snag a Gaylord or DTD Hilton if you work it right. Hope that helps.
nitad Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks tripper. I won't be renting a car so I will need easy access. the bonus will be no parking fees. I know about the resort fees. it is my hope to get something low enough so that won't matter.
thereuare Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Did you want to first try for a 4* hotel up to your limit and then if that is rejected try for a 3.5* property... OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

nitad Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Posted August 1, 2014 wow, sorry I didn't get back to you on this thread. I ended up changing my plans and stayed with friends in Tampa then making the drive over for the day. I believe I made that decision after I had started bidding and was rejected.
