angyl15 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 My husband and I are planning a trip to Disney October 2-October 6 or 7. Last time we were there we stayed at the Hilton in downtown disney and it worked out well. We liked being so close to Pleasure Island. We would like to stay somewhere in downtown disney again (the swan or dolphin would be ok too), but I don't know if it is too ealry to bid now. We are not picky about which resort, as it is just the two of us and we spend little time in the room anyway. I like to have things planned in advance, but I know this is a slow time at disney and would like to take advantage of that of I can to get a nice hotel for the best price. I have seen people on here get rooms for the summer at resorts for $60 - is that what I should expect to pay for October?Thanks in advance for your responses :) Link to comment

The board only 'works' if everyone follows-up their posts with the ultimate result.Thanks!

thereuare Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 This link should help answer your timing question: SHOULD I BID EARLY or LATEPersonally i would start bidding now but only bid up to $70 or so... trying to get something on a lowball bid.You do understand that you can get any resort level hotel within the shaded region that Priceline defines at "Walt Disney World Vicinity".If you're comfortable with that, you have 8 re-bid zones in this area and i would proceed to bid as follows:Select Resort in the WDW area:Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $57, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $62, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $64, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $66, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone and...Bid $70.Let us know how you make out.
