vin1215 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 3.5 star disney main gate for march 3-6 for 85 a nightThis hotel typically charges all guests a resort fee regardless of how the room is booked. The hotel collects this fee of about $10 per room per night directly from you, so it won't show in your Hotwire Link to comment

yellowdog Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 vin1215,Is it the area (Universal or Main Gate) or the price at the hotel the biggest issue for you?3* Disney Main Gate - Champions Gate. Is a match for the Holiday Inn Maingate East.3* Universal. Can't get a clean match for this but an educated guess would be the Clarion Universal. An option would be the Holiday Inn Universal but not likley with a rate at $36. This rate is common for the Clarion and the hotel is a "regular" for this zone.3.5* Disney Main Gate - Champions Gate. I belive you have left out some amenities for this hotel. Do a new search, do you see the Resort and tennis icons also? Henrik. Link to comment
vin1215 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks Henrik and sorry I just joined this forum so Im a newbie. But I am looking to stay as close to universal or disney as possible and would like to stay around 75 a night or better....and also the 3.5 star disney main gate is a resort and has tennis icons as well.

vin1215 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I am trying to go to disney/universal march 3 - 6 ( I am also flexible with the dates I can go from feb 29- march 7) and am trying to stay at any of these hotels..If someone can find them for me on HOTWIRE or has any tips on getting them through priceline that would be awesome. I will list the hotels with what I am willing to pay for them. I am also flexible with the dates and stays, I can stay at one hotel for one night and the other for two nights or i can stay all three nights at one of them (easier)..anyways any help is appreciated.Disney's Dolphin hotel (100)Radisson celebration disney hotel (60)Doubletree universal (65)Sun regal resort (60)Royal pacific resort universal on-site (115) Link to comment
vin1215 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have never used hotwire nor priceline and was wondering when it would be best to book for a 3 star hotel for one or two nights (3/3-3/5 or 3/3-3/4)...I already have booked regal sun resort for 3/4-3/7 at 74 a night through their floridas resident special....but I need a universal site hotel for my first two nights....I see there is a 3 star for 39 a night but i think it might be the clarion...I was hoping the holiday inn will show up....do more hotels come up closer to the date and if so do the prices go down on the others??please let me know.

thereuare Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.HOTWIRE will only show one hotel at each star level in each zone (the least expensive one).As far as 'purchasing early or close to check-in' see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

thereuare Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 3 star hotel for one or two nights (3/3-3/5 or 3/3-3/4)...I already have booked regal sun resort for 3/4-3/7 at 74 a night through their floridas resident special....but I need a universal site hotel for my first two nights....Wouldn't the dates you actuall need be 3/2-3/4 or 3/3-3/4 in order to make your arrival at the sun resort on 3/4? :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
vin1215 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Wouldn't the dates you actuall need be 3/2-3/4 or 3/3-3/4 in order to make your arrival at the sun resort on 3/4? :)yes but a couple posts above someone said that the regal sun standard room is not worth the 74 a night ( which is actually 85 because of the resorts fee) so I most likely going to cancel those reservations.....The perfect hotel for me right now would be a 3* or 3.5* hotel for 69 a night or less that has shuttle services to universal and disney but i dont think that is possible, so if anyone knows the hotels i described above that would be great (or if anyone can help me with my trip regardless) Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 So why not search for your complete stay? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
vin1215 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 So why not search for your complete stay?Because I have yet found a hotel that offers shuttles to disney and universal and since my first 2 days I will be at universal, I need a hotel by universal that offers a shuttle and the same for disney for the second half of the trip.

vin1215 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I needed a wdw hotel from 3/3-3/7 and wanted a 3*...The only 2 hotels i didnt want were holiday inn main gate east and the best western...well i ended up with the holiday inn for $55 a night...im pretty upset about it because i really wanted the sheraton safari or pretty much anything but the 2 that i listed :) Link to comment
dianev Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I saw your post on the 'other' board and you certainly wont get much but a chastising comment over 'there'..however to be honest if you knew these hotels were a possibility why did you go ahead and go for it? I personally will not bid 3* in that area right now because of the horrible hotels they are offering and claiming are 3*. There isnt much you can do now except hope for the best (although hasnt the Holiday Inn gotten decent recent reviews?)I needed a wdw hotel from 3/3-3/7 and wanted a 3*...The only 2 hotels i didnt want were holiday inn main gate east and the best western...well i ended up with the holiday inn for $55 a night...im pretty upset about it because i really wanted the sheraton safari or pretty much anything but the 2 that i listed :) Link to comment
