Did you switch to two nights on the second day of bidding because you didn't need the 23rd? If you waited 24 hours you don't have to change the dates...

Do you absolutely want to be next to Disneyland those nights? Might you stay somewhere else and drive to the park? You are probably bumping into spring break travelers. If you win a 3 star in Disney area, you might end up with a parking fee at the hotel a lot higher than driving and parking in the parking structure. I am assuming you will have a car, I guess.

You are adding the beach zones thinking you aren't going to get them, right? Orange, Anaheim Hills, Fullerton and Buena Park are not far to drive to Disney, though morning traffic from Anaheim Hills could get dicey.

Yes i switched the days beucase i'll be staying with some family on the other days. and correct the reason I added the other days is becuase I have selected 3 star hotel and the other places only have 2.5 stars.

Yeah we want to be as close as posible to disneyland.

It's spring break. Kids are out of school. The weather is perfect here. They are going to Disneyland. The hotels are probably bursting at the seams with people.

If you must be in a 3 star in the Disney zone, you are just going to have to bid more. Maybe a lot more. Your bids are 60% under the lowest price 3 star on Priceline's retail pages. They just probably aren't hurting to sell their rooms right now.

Fullerton 3* hotels aren't all that far from Disney. If it was me, I'd take 2.5 star and drive, saving parking fees and getting lower room rates.

Make sure to use the site links when you make your bids.
