mmann91011 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hello, Need help figuring out this hotel on Priceline Express: 3 Star Hotel in Downtown Disney - Lake Buena Vista Area for $43/nightGuaranteed Amenities: Free Internet in public areasOutdoor Swimming PoolFree ParkingPets AllowedRestaurantBusiness CenterI'm trying to book a hotel that is within walking distance to Disney World (less then 30 min preferably). Any tips? I'm a little nervous to blindly book something in the Downtown Disney Lake Buena Vista area as you can get a hotel anywhere from 15 min to a 50 min walk! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Please provide the date/s of travel and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the listing.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.

mmann91011 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 It is for October 5th - 12th. Thank you! Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Best guess would be Clarion Inn LBV.The only 3* that is close to DTD is the Best Western and Royal Plaza that we don't see that often. If you think that the hotels on Palm Parkway is to far from DTD are out of options if you want to keep it "cheap".Let us know how we can help you further with your stay.Yellowdog.PS. please remember to follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing for this trip, even if you don't use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc. Link to comment
mmann91011 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks! After looking at the website, they offer free shuttling to Disney World so it's very doable for us if this is indeed the hotel. Is Betterbidding usually right most of the time of guessing which hotel which after the given information? Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm trying to book a hotel that is within walking distance to Disney WorldI just re-read your post. Are you referring to Downtown Disney or the Disney parks? I just took for granted that you talked about Downtown Disney. Is Betterbidding usually right most of the time of guessing which hotel which after the given information?We do "strike-out" but I would say that we have a very good track record. And we do note if we are uncertain on a guess.I know Orlando wery well so feel free to ask if you need any information.Let us know your thoughts and we'll go from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.

mmann91011 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I was referring to Downtown Disney :) (just planning on walking there from hotel and taking shuttle into parks). Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Please keep all posts in the same thread since posts are for the same stay. I was referring to Downtown Disney :) (just planning on walking there from hotel and taking shuttle into parks).I would say that all hotels rated 2.5* or higher in LBV-DTD zone got shuttles to the parks.For the HOTWIRE hotels,HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.This workaround has been successful in order to see the complete set of amenities:· use this link to search HOTWIRE· from the search results page click the offer for this hotel· on the next page click BOOK NOW (no worries about purchasing by accident since no credit card information is entered up to this point)· on the left side of the page click the 'See all amenities' linkThis should show you the full list of amenities associated with each offer.Yellowdog.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.

yellowdog Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Is this a new set of dates for your stay? Your previous Hotwire Orlando request indicates diffrent dates?Please don't copy/paste to your thread... post only the amenity names (and not the full descriptions that go along with it) as it will make your post easier for us to read and helps minimize the chance that we miss an amenity when researching your hotel. Can you please run a new search through bord's BiddingHelper.com on top of the page. Please copy and paste the amenities and price you'll see in the Easy View tab and we'll have a look at this.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.
