I was bidding for a 3* in the Orlando Disney Vincinity. I used 4 zones (Kissimmee, Orlando East, Sandlake and Winterpark) before my offer was accepted.

But I ended up in Maitland/Altamonte Springs in a 3* 25 miles from the parks! How is this possible? Maitland/Altamonte Springs is not even on the map over the Disney Vincinity.

I mailed PL and explained what happend. I have to wait and see what they answer. But I thought I should ask the pros also. I asked PL to credit my account so I could bid for the popper area again.

Please post the details of the win (dates, price, and hotel received) so that we can edit the topic title accordingly and also move this thread to the Florida Priceline section of the board. Even though it's not what you wanted, the data can help future users who are looking for a hotel in this zone.

To answer your question in advance though...

As the (Maitland - Altamonte Spring) zone is directly under the Kissimme zone, is it possible that you checkmarked that zone by mistake? If so Priceline will send you a screenshot of the zone(s) that you did select on that winning bid... yet they still may have a heart and refund you anway (but then again, they may not). If you did in fact not select this zone, and in fact the hotel is in the Maitland-Altamonte Spring zone, then they will certainly issue a refund.

Please do provide the details of the win and how the above gets resolved.

PL did nothing wrong! I checked the wrong zone! But I was sure that I didn't when I had bid. PL mailed me my bid history and I checked the line under the correct zone. But they could see that my intention was for the Disney Vincinity and they will refound me :) minus $25 for some service fee. I don't complain about that.

Today when I look at my note were I have written down the re-bid zones can I see that I looked at the re-bid zones for Orlando 4* that I'm going to try for. Stupid misstake with a happy outcome.
