i am thinking the 3.5 is the radisson orlando celebration...maybe

is that hotel also offered by priceline?

[thereuare]

4* in disney main gate-champions gate may2-may4 $109/night

same as above but also

Please list the actual amenities... as per your "same as above" the 4* property should have 12 amenity icons but the 4* property i'm currently seeing on HOTWIRE only has 10.

is that hotel also offered by priceline?

Do you intend to bid on PRICELINE regardless of the IDs above?

I am travelling with another couple with a small child and they want to be near disney (not have the need for a car rental), would this be a good area to be looking, or can you suggest any others?

Also what transportation service is available from orlando to the cruise ship port in fort lauderdale?

thanks so much

You might need a car rental, to get to Disney, because not all offer shuttles to the Disney transportation hub. Also it would probably be cheaper to get a car rental if you are going to Ft. Lauderdale.

The 3.5* is a match for the Radisson Celebration and the 4* is a match for the Gaylord Palms so that would be our best guess for each.

Please use this HOTWIRE linkn to begin any purchass you make (if the couple will be making the purchase, or their own purchase, please ask them to use our link as well)

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

thanks for your help

Have you done anything with this stay yet?

Also, your posts above indicate a stay of 5/2-5/4 but the comments in your other thread (and thus the dates in the topic title) indicated 5/1-5/4... which are the correct set of dates? Are your plans firm?

Please remember to use our links to PRICELINE and HOTWIRE to begin any purchases you make.

[sparky86]

we have not booked anything yet.

There are 4 adults and 1 child (age 2) travelling.

Orlando may 1-4 and then fort lauderdale for 1 night (may 8)

These dates are firm

thanks, any advice is great!

[thereuare]

we have not booked anything yet.

Is there something in particular that you're looking for or waiting for in order to book?

[sparky86]

well i have seen a few that were of interested over the last week or so, but they have probably changed, so I will start a fresh look again and start new.

[sparky86]

I am wondering if we will be able to successful bid or get a hotel for 4 adults and 1 child on either hotwire or priceline or is 2 adults per room the max?

[Jason's Storm]

To be certain, HOTWIRE, would be the best way to go with that many. Reason being, is the PRICELINE only guarentees double occupency (sp?), while I believe HOTWIRE, can go with how many people you have.

We are looking for a better deal for this stay. We have booked Caribe Cove at $108/night but am getting worried about some neg reviews lately.

Saw this on HOTWIRE and trying to ID 3* condo in kissimmee

Fully equiped kitchen

pool(s)

Tennis nearby

free parking

24 hour front desk

4adults x 3 nights

$65/night total $226

I think it may be Oak Plantation Resort but the match on the hotwire list has different ammenities as follows:

Condo

Resort

1 BR suite

Kitchen

Free parking

pool

fitness

24 hour front desk

can someone help id whether this listing now on HOTWIRE is Oak Plantation. Or if not what it may be?

thanks

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

The above Condo has not yet been identified and HOTWIRE gives little additional clues/checks to help identify it. It's possible it's the Oak Planation Resort, but i don't think the amenities of that property have changed from the Hotwire Hotel List, so i would say it's doubtful that is the property above.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

[sparky86]

Thanks for the response!

Do you know what the listing may be?

[thereuare]

No, HOTWIRE doesn't give any additional clues to assist in the ID to make an educated guess, although i did try.

[sparky86]

ok thanks anyway! i will keep looking and let you know what I decide to do anyway!

[sparky86]

How many rooms/occupancy are you searching for above?

[sparky86]

If we can get a great deal here at a decent hotel we will need 2 rooms (2 adults+ 2 adults and a 2 yr old). Otherwise we are looking at condos for shared accomadations to keep the costs low.

Thanks for your help

We have decided to book a condo (Oakwater Resort in Kissimmee) for our stay may 1-4. Since this was a new resort I did not see it offered through PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, but still managed to get a great rate $99 per night for a 3 BR 2 Bath condo.

Thanks for the help that I received,
