Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (Universal Studios-SeaWorld) Hilton Garden Inn

[Ems!]

Hi

This will be my first time bidding on anything more than a 1 night stay on priceline. I want this area, and looking at the lists on here it seems there are 4 possibles. I really want the wyndham resort but would still be happy with the other 3 . Best price I can find elsewhere for the Wyndham is

For a 3* in Universal-Seaworld there looks to be actually 6 re-bid zones.

$40 probably is on the low side, and your chances might not be great, but I think with the 6 re-bid zones you will have plenty of room to work with so it may be worth a shot.

I notice you are looking for 8 nights. Have you ever thought of splitting your bid: read Splitting Priceline Bids. You may be able to get a better deal, but you may have to switch hotels. Is this an option?

Thanks slick_gd, you are quite right there are 6 rebids - I just went and wrote them down! Must admit , I am a bit scared of the rebid zones in case it goes wrong and i end up miles away from where i want to be!

I've read the info on splitting bids, and can see why it is a good idea, but tbh, as we don't have a car and are only there for 8 days, I'd rather pay a bit extra and not have to move.

You should be comfortable with whatever strategies you employ... do you want to use your re-bid zones or do you want to only make one bid per day.

If you're not comfortable with PRICELINE adn re-bidding i just searched HOTWIRE for your dates and there are quite a few hotels in the Disney area for under $50/nite and as high as 3.5*.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed.

Thanks thereuare,

I think I will swot up a bit more this weekend when I have some free time then go for priceline with the free rebids. I'm guessing that as long as I check the hotels at each zone before I add it I will be OK!

WE want to be on/close to I - drive as we aren't hiring a car and will mainly be around that area rather than disney.

I'll use the PRICELINE link at the top of the page and come back to post when I have done it, wish me luck! :)
