Welcome to BetterBidding!


With PRICELINE and/or HOTWIRE you can't choose the hotel you bid on or the hotels that will be offered when searching for your dates... the deep discounts that you see are in exchange for being flexible in the hotel you will receive.  We can often take an educated guess as to which PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE hotels are being offered for a given set of dates, but there is no way to 'force' either service to have one of the offers shown to you be the hotel that you're hoping for.

 

There are also other issues concerning your occupancy needs for this trip, but let's start with the above... is the Disney port Orleans French quarters the only hotel you're willing to accept for this trip?  Is staying off-property an option?

 

What is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this trip?

my preference is to stay on site in a moderate resort. Maximum budget per nite before taxes etc is US 180. Would appreciate any tips to identify/guess required hotels in Express deals or even better I name your own price. Thanks

I'm doubtful that you're going to find what you're looking for... you'll either need to adjust your expectations for staying on-site OR pay regular retail rates to get exactly what you want.

 

With schools out for Holiday/Winter Break, and the cold weather up and down the east coast, this is a peak time for Disney and the on-site properties don't need to discount (or don't need to discount very much) in order to fill rooms.  The disney resorts are not seen very often, but when they do come up, they are usually seen during periods of low occupancy.

 

The above notwithstanding, you also have an occupancy issue since all PRICELINE (and PRICELINE EXPRESS) reservations are for double occupancy... HOTWIRE does allow you to search for up to quad occupancy, but you need five so even with quad occupancy you're actually one over the limit.  Perhaps you're willing to accept the occupancy risk (if you're going to take this risk Orlando is usually one of the better locations to try, as opposed to a large city such as Chicago or NYC where rooms are know to typically be on the smaller side), but you still have the bigger issue of wanting to stay on-site and from my experience that is just not likely going to happen during a peak period such as this.

Your post above seems to be for the same trip (but changed dates) from your original request so we have merged your thread(s).

 

To being, how are you overcoming the occupancy issue... are you looking to book for quad occupancy but show up with 5?
