Did you ever make it to Disney last June/July?

Please follow-up your previous thread with whatever you did for that stay (or if your plans were cancelled).

Thanks.

[dis2cruise]

Look at the threads (one of them mine) for late January and early February. That will give you a timeline (i.e., it's too early to bid). Also, you will have the additional problem of traveling during a peak period (President's Day). I would strongly recommend making a regular "cancellable" reservation and then seeing if you can "beat it" on priceline later. It will be hit or miss on a Resort, especially with needing so many days. You're more likely to get a few days at a time. Breaking your days apart by looking at hotwire and priceline vacations will likely give you a clue when something might be out there.

Are you willing to SPLIT YOUR PRICELINE BID?

What is your maximum bid?

[dis2cruise]

spitting a bid? could i try a couple of days and then have my husband try the rest?

my highest bid would be $100 a day do you think this would be enough to try to get a resort.

thanks everyone for all your help :)

When you split the bid there is no reason to have two different people bid as each bid submitted for different dates is NOT treated as a duplicate bid... or are you asking if you could bid for the complete stay and then have your husband try? (which i don't think you need to do, as you have a LOT of re-bid zones available when bidding Resort in this area... if you're not familiar with re-bidding you may want to read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained)

I thought i had to split it up with 2 different people, thanks for the link i will check it out :)

No, splitting your bid involves the (likelihood) of changing hotels during your stay, and is explained in this thread: SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID

Let us know if this is an option for you or not.
