young2by2 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 This Hotel is very nice. But the negative is the resort fee and parking fee's they hit you with. Even the Disney Resort does not charge a resort fee and a parking fee at the hotels!Gaylord Palms Resort Disney World Vicinity6000 West Osceola Parkway Kissimmee, Florida 34746 Check-In Date: Saturday, April 1, 2006 Check-Out Date: Sunday, April 2, 2006 Your Offer Price: $73.00 Subtotal: $73.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $16.83 Total Charges: $89.83 Link to comment
LoneStar Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yes, those fees are annoying, but do you realize you got a fantastic deal on this hotel -- significantly better than recent priceline reports? :) BTW, when did you bid? Was this some sort of "last minute" reduced priceline price? Link to comment
dianev Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was just thinking too what a good price that is for the Gaylord. Most have been around $85-$95 so that makes up for the extra fees I think..plus check the going rate and you got a deal Link to comment
young2by2 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well you will have to understand my disappointment comes mostly from the fact that I usually get to stay at Disney Hotels for Half Price (A Friend gets me the Employee discount). And with Disney not adding on the fee's and Parking. This stay was actually more expensive than what I usually pay at Disney.This trip was indeed a last minute trip. Disney Was sold out at the Discount I usually get. So I had to look elsewhere. This hotel of course was very nice and spotless. They did give us a room over the Transportation area, so it was rather noisy. Also I left my Apple Airport Express in the room by mistake (my mistake of course). It was never to be seen again according to the hotel.Thanks for a wonderful board!Trey Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 wait, I'm confused, if you got it for $73 and say that you didn't save as much as your usual discount of half price......that means the going rate would have to have been less than $146....let's call it $120 and you're saying you could stay for $60 normallywell normally the going rate for the Gaylord is quite expensive....I can't see what it was for 4/1 but for this week it's $200 and up for the rest of this month.......and if you were getting a half price discount you'd be paying more like $100 which is actually more expensive then people typically get the Gaylord on here....unless the going rate for the Gaylord was far below $146 for 4/1? (doesn't seem likely to me but maybe I'm wrong) Link to comment

young2by2 Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yes usally I get the Disney Hotels for Half Price. Like for example I usally stay at the Port Orleans riverside for about $54.00 a nite. With no charge for parking or Resort Fee. So it is a TRUE $54.00 a nite. (just have to add taxes like every other hotel)Trey Link to comment
