Priceline Hotel: Disneyland:3*Low priceline bids-Hyatt: best dates

Many priceline bidders have won the Hyatt Regency Orange County at very low prices when bidding for 3* Disneyland area during the past year. At low occupancy times they've even won at $25 (12/18-23/04)and $30 (1/8-11/05). But at high occupancy times, bids of even $65 and $70 have been rejected. Occupancy rates and room rates have skyrocketed this year because of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Regular Expedia rates for 2* hotels across from the East gate entrance have frequently been in the $80's, and quality has been low (we encountered cockroaches at the Del Sol two nights in a row, and the Desert Inn next door is also lousy). YOU WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER STAYING AT A 3* PRICELINE HOTEL!!

For people who have a chance to plan their trip ahead of time, and choose their dates, I've copied the list of low occupancy times from the Hyatt web site (times when they offer groups and meetings special low rates). So if you want to maximize your chances of getting a low bid for the Hyatt accepted, choose the following dates:

EXTRA VALUE DATES Meeting Offer: (dates when they have lower occupancy, and can handle adding a convention or meeting to their schedule). (If you have any trouble with your bids being rejected, you might want to re-check this list from the Hyatt web site, since they may have added an event in the interim...Choose Meetings tab and EXTRA VALUE DATES icon, and scan down the mostly alphabetical list of their hotels until you reach the HROC...)

WOW! They have severely limited these extra value dates. Will that mean they will attract fewer meetings and conventions? Or have they limited the dates because they no longer have as great a need to offer them to attract business? That remains to be seen. Perhaps their occupancy has been so high this year they don't need to offer discounted rates....Maybe there won't be as much Priceline availability either. On the other hand, if they have underestimated the affect Disney's 5oth Anniversary has had on occupancy this year, then there should be more Priceline availability....We'll see!

Remember, if you have a choice when you plan to visit the Disney area, choose these dates and you will have a better chance of snagging the Hyatt through Priceline and Hotwire....

To get current list: go to Hyatt.com, click on Meetings & Events, choose Meeting Special Offers, Under Dividends choose Extra Value Dates. Then click on "all available dates," and you'll get a list of all Hyatts that participate (even international sites like in Mexico, Jordan, China, Thailand, and Australia, etc.).

Below are the current low season dates for both the Hyatt Regency Orange County, and the Hyatt Regency Irvine -- another popular Priceline hotel for Disney proximity, with very good Priceline rates. Note that the HROC has been upgraded to 3.5*. The HRIrvine is rated 4*.

NOTE: Bids have been won recently for $41-45 for the HROC, $55-65 for the HRNewport Beach, and $55-64 for the HRIrvine.

Hyatt Regency Orange County

11999 Harbor Blvd.,

Los Angeles, California ****NOTE: HOTEL IS NOT IN LA -- I believe it is in Anaheim, just a stone's throw north of Garden Grove.*****
