I should have clicked on book it before I posted - I just did that and hotwire plus vendor added on $344 in tax recovery charges and fees, making the total not just 312 plus around 15% in taxes but much more!  Total would be 656.59.    Curious what vendor would charge such a high fee like that? Disney?

I assume this is the property you're looking at, which is in the Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek zone?

==> if this is the correct zone (and the full amenities can be see by searching using our BiddingHelper.com tool and in the EASY VIEW tab click the GREEN 'See All Amenities' button next to this listing) then my best guess for this one would be the Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.  I'm not sure why the taxes/fees are so high, might be an error on HOTWIRE's part (not that this helps you for this upcoming stay )

 

What is it that you are looking for in a hotel for this trip and what is your maximum budget?

Yes, that is the same listing though since I posted it dropped to 103 from 104.  I thought is was probably Coronado Springs too and is why I wanted to double check here.  I have an offsite hotel for a good rate and was seeing if a deal would come up on Disney property to beat my hotel reservation plus rental car price (I wouldn't need a rental car if staying onsite at WDW) - 103 for a moderate is attractive but not with such an inflated tax fee.    I know, I know, I know that getting a moderate at that price is next to impossible but I still read about it happening and just thought I'd try.  Coronado Springs is going through alot of construction and so that is why it is probably a hotdeal.  

 

Thank you for your response and help.

If you click THIS LINK (confirm your dates on the landing page) you'll see Coronado Springs offered for $105/nite (as this link has a 50% coupon automatically applied)   

 

I assume this works better than your current deal?

 

Please use the link above for your purchase and let us know how it goes.

Wow - what timing!  I didn't see that earlier, PE must have listed it later today so thank you!   I booked it through your link for a grand total of 410.  I think Coronado was a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for 99 a night for a total of 365 (taxes were about 25 less so maybe not Coronado?) but didn't want to risk it.  Thank you again!!!!

Someone on disboards suggested that the high recovery tax fee on Hotwire was all about dining being added.  "Last year around this time there were a few Disney resorts on Cheaptickets and Expedia that were offering meals included and charging for the dining plan in the taxes and fees. You did not need park tickets to get this. After tinkering with this reservation I think it might be the same offer."
