CarolMM Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I am searching for a hotel in Orlando area, by Epcot. My dates are 02/23-27/2018. I found in HOTWIRE a 4 star room for 3 adults in Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek area going for $89. The amenities are: Free parking Free Internet Resort Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Could you please help me figure out which hotel this is? Also, I would like to try to stay in one of the hotels at the Disney property. Do you know how I can accomplish that? Thank you! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Welcome to Betterbidding. I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look. I'm seeing: 4* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $89.00 Free Parking Free Internet Resort Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be the Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake. What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?

CarolMM Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 My total stay with Disney is going for $700 for four days. If I can get anything better than this (or around this price, but in a better hotel) it would be ideal It is the Princess Half Marathon Weekend, so I m not sure if there are a lot of Disney properties available on Hotwire. I would like to book is ASAP. Could I make a reservation trough HOTWIRE and pay for the insurance, and cancel after is I see it is not the hotel I wanted? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The insurance offered by HOTWIRE only covers certain conditions (usually medical related) so you can't cancel simply because you changed your mind or found a different deal down the road that you like better. If you're looking for something to use as a back-up you can search our sister site RefundableRates.com which will make it easy to compare rates which have a liberal cancellation policy. As well, use the filters (left side of the page) and sort features (above the map) to see options that are close to Epcot and also quickly see how much more/less it would cost if you went up/down in star rating or if you stayed closer/further from your ideal location. As far as your current $700 reservation, where is that (so we can determine what might be 'better') and i assume that is on an all-in basis (including all taxes/fees/etc)?

CarolMM Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 In the All-Star hotels, both Music and Movies. I would stay there because I am running two races that weekend, so I would need the transportation. But I am reading some reviews and they said transportation is not a big deal as long as you leave the hotel early. I would like to stay in a place that has some Spa features, since I am going to be tired from the races. Preferably in Disney property, but not necessarily, I would say Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I don't see any of the on-site Disney properties currently offered when searching for your dates above. So i think you should decide what it is that you want... a nicer hotel than the All-Star properties that is off-site and take care of transportation to the race on your own (or if the hotel offers a shuttle) vs. sticking with your current reservation(s) or something that you find at RefundableRates.com to use as a back-up and see what is offered in the months ahead.

CarolMM Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I found the All-Star properties to be a little too basic in their amenities. I would rather stay in a nicer place with more options of things to do in the hotel. Could you help me identify some Hotwire rates for 4 stars close to Epcot? Thank you! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 When searching HOTWIRE for 3adults i see this offer: 4* hotwire Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $140.00 Free Internet Resort Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> best guess for this one would be the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek. This property has a $25/nite resort fee, so you'll be looking about about $20 more per nite on an all-in basis (when using the discount link at the top of the page) but would be a big jump in star rating and quality 4* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $137.00 Free Parking Free Internet Suite BR2 Kitchen Smoke Free Laundry in room Fitness Pool Business 24hr Front Desk Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Kitchenette ==> the Lighthouse Key Resort and Spa would be my best guess here (but a little pricier, but trying to give you some options) 4* Disney Springs for $142.00 Free Internet Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Delta Hotels By Marriott Orlando Lake Buena Vista is my guess here... little further from Epcot (about 10 minute drive according to Google maps) but exact same cost as your current reservation and reviews are good Any of the above work well for your needs?

CarolMM Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Since I am running two races that weekend, I think we will stay at the Disney property. I don't want to take the risk of getting road blocks and traffic. Thank you for your help! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 You have quite a bit of time between now and your stay. I'd keep checking back to see if inventory changes and anything pops up that would work well for your travel plans.

CarolMM Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 As I said on July 16, 2017, I decided to stay in Disney property and booked my hotel directly through Disney website. Thank you! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 So what property is it that you decided upon? (if if you recall, for how much)? When PRICELINE / HOTWIRE don't work for your needs it would be appreciated if you used our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate travel purchases.
