yellowdog Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 gea888 - some of the common 3* (Disney vicinity, US/SW zones) PL hotels got 50% higher rack rate than normal for this busy spring break period. I just thought you should know this when deciding about maximum rate VS rating. also take a look at this post. Priceline DisneyworldGood luck!Henrik. Link to comment

thereuare Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I am looking for between a 4-2 star hotel. This is a very wide range of quality... what is it exactly that you're looking for from this stay?Are you willing to bid up to your maximum for a 4* property before trying for lower stars or are you looking for the least expensive rate possible at a 2* or higher hotel?

gea888 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just wanted to update:I ended up using the bidding strategy above without any success, and then booking the $39/night Maingate East HOTWIRE Link. The hotel was for the Seralego Suites. Great price, since I called them and their rack room rate is $79/night, and their AAA is $64. Thanks again! Link to comment
