stacielee Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 We have to go visit some potential colleges for my daughter so what the heck, we'll visit Disneyland. What kind of bidding strategy should I use? I would prefer a hotel that doesn't have a daily charge for parking but I'm not sure how to determine that. Is it listed anywhere on this board?

thereuare Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 You can't designate a hotel with/without parking fees (although if you get a hotel with parking fees the savings are usually still much greater than if you book a hotel with no parking fees direct)... do you still want to go with Priceline?If so, what is your maximum bid? We wouldn't want to suggest a strategy that went higher than you wanted to bid.

stacielee Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I was just wondering about the parking, since the hotels I see as 3* and above seem to charge the daily parking fee. My maximum bid would be $50. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 You have three re-bid zones available at the 3* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* Disneyland...Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $48, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $50.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

stacielee Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I ended up getting a $50 coupon from Expedia which I used on the Good Nite Inn in Buena Park. Not the best but acceptable for my 2 daughters and I. I never was able to get anything through Priceline with the bidding strategy above. Link to comment
kimi911 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 If you could have pushed the bidding a bit higher, you would have easily got something. There are always rooms to get on 3 star in Anaheim it seems. In the non-summer months, your sub-$50 bid would have probably sufficed. Link to comment
