zoischa Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Current plan is to fly back late on 10/25 (Sat) but was thinking of changing flight to 10/26 (Sun) if I could find a cheap enough hotel near the airport since the rental car is paid up until Sun and we would love the extra hours in Orlando Sat. night. If I don't find an inexpensive hotel I will just keep my flight res. for Sat. so no back up needed. Here are my bids so far:bid $45, rejectedadded Kissimmee, bid $48, rejectedadded Orlando east, bid $51, rejectedadded Sand Lake, bid $54, rejectedAt that point I gave up since it wound up being $75 with the fees and it didn't seem worth it for the few extra hours in Orlando Sat. night.I will try again in the next week. Lots of free rebid zones in Orlando if you are going for a 3*. Will keep you posted and yes, I used the betterbidding link for PRICELINE. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 If you try HOTWIRE there is a 3* hotel in the MCO Airport zone (Shuttle, Pool, Fitness, Internet, Business) for $69 which is a match for the Wingate Inn so that would be our best guess. Assuming this is correct, the hotel gets very good reviews if that is of interest to you at all.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated with any decisions/progress you make... or if we can be of further help.PS- any reason to stay close to the airport? the WDW zones are usually pretty inexpensive in this region Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
zoischa Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Wow, I had no idea hotels near WDW were so inexpensive on HOTWIRE. What looks like the 3* Radisson (Disney Gate - Celebration) is going for $32. If I change my flight to Sunday then I will be taking the first flight which is around 7:30 am. That is the reason I was looking for an airport hotel. It may be worth it to stay near WDW and just leave a bit earlier to catch a flight. I understand it's 30 minute drive from there to the airport?

TexasMeg Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I am pretty sure HOTWIRE rates the radisson celebration as 3.5, and I am positive it has the resort classification. This was one I was considering if I couldnt get a WDW resort for decent price. That being said I think the radisson is the 3.5* for 69 on HOTWIRE for your specified dates. Hope this helps!

I now need to decide where we will spend the day Saturday (will be coming off a Disney cruise Saturday morning) and that will determine in what region I will need a hotel. No question for now. I will make a decision in the next week or so and I will post my win then. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
zoischa Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I finally booked a room but used HOTWIRE and not PRICELINE. I decided on the airport so I could avoid the cost of the second day for the rental car and use the hotel shuttle. Not sure how to post this since I want to keep it in the same thread but do not know how to change headlines (sorry). Booked via HOTWIRE link. I figured it was the Hyatt based on this site plus trip advisor rating and figured it was worth a few extra $$ to be right in the airport. The price has been fluctuating every day so I booked now in case it went up again. Price on hotel website for this night is $189.4* Hyatt MCO, 10/25-10/26/08 (1 night), $79Hotel rate per night: $79.00Tax recovery charges and fees: $15.89TotalPrice: $94.89Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport9300 Airport BoulevardOrlando, Florida 32827 Amenities listed:shuttle, fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, high-speed internetTrip Advisor rating = 4.5 Link to comment
