thereuare Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 If you run your HOTWIRE search again, click the CONTINUE button (with the price in it) and then click the "see all amenties" link under the amenity icons, do you also see a Childrens Amenities icon associated with this property?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

dolphin89 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Posted November 4, 2008 ....then it seems to be eithger Villas of Grand Cypress or Hyatt Grand Cypress? Am I correct?I am luck that I check this site, or I will be sorry.Any suggestion for how to get into a disnesy hotel using PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, Is it possible?if it is not possible I think I will just bid a resort using PRICELINE...Thank you very much!
thereuare Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 The above is a match for the Hyatt Grand Cypress so that would be our best guess.You can sometimes make different hotels appear by changing your occupancy (searching 2adults/2children or 4adults/0children, etc) but other than that you can only really work with what HOTWIRE is offering for a given search, you can't "make" a hotel appear in the offerings on a given search.If you choose to go with PRICELINE please keep all posts in this same thread and if win a hotel thru their service we'll then update the topic title of this thread and move the entire thread to that section of the board. If you need help with a bidding strategy let us know your maximum bid and we'll advise accordingly.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 What is the best rate you're able to get thru a conventional booking channel? (use our BetterChecker to assist in your rate search)Is the HOTWIRE offer above an option at all?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

dolphin89 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Posted November 5, 2008 I called the Walt Disney World Hilton and the rate is$132 for refundable (AAA rate)or $125 for non-refundableHowever, I noticed that the same Hilton had frequently offered at a low price at Priceline, I am just not sure how many people actually are getting the discount rate during the hot season.Anyone who are interested to get into a Disney hotel (or a hotel that is eligible having "magic hours") for this X'mas season, please share your comments....Thanks.
thereuare Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 How much of a discount would you need to make an 'unknown' hotel worthwhile?Why not book the refundable rate at the Hilton (please use our Hilton link) and then continue to try PRICELINE, up to whatever amount you feel an 'opaque' purchase is still worthwhile?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
