famofive Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 Thank you for you response.Both the North and South zones are acceptable, but $85 is higher than I am willing to go. I was originally going to do priceline. I think that I'd get the Crowne Plaza in the $45 range. Adding in the $12 resort fee, I'm up to $57 and was just checking out comparable options. I was hoping you would tell me this one was the Embassy Suites on Frontera because of the breakfast and kitchenette. They don't have an airport shuttle, but they do have the Disneyland shuttle. For my family, the Embassy Suites is a better option than the Crowne Plaza, even though it is farther away.
famofive Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 Here is another one that is coming up for me now for the same dates -- I don't remember seeing it earlier:3-star hotel in Anaheim - Disneyland South $66This hotel features the following amenities:Complimentary BreakfastPool(s)Laundry FacilitiesHigh-speed Internet Access No Trip Advisor score.I guess it could be the Cortona Suites, but it doesn't have the "no smoking" icon.
thereuare Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 I know you're searching for 2 rooms, but what is the breakdown of adults/children... as i'm seeing a different 3* hotel offered in this zone when searching HOTWIRE for your dates.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

famofive Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 That one comes up with 2 rooms, 2 adults/2 kids (which I must have clicked by accident). When I go to 3 kids, I see the Cortona. I guess I was just trying to figure out if the one without the no-smoking icon is a better option.The "saved" search came up with yet a third hotel (the one Lollipop Mom is trying to identify), but the default only searched on 1 room, 2 adults and this one disappears when I switch to 2 rooms.3-star hotel in Anaheim - Disneyland South $63This hotel features the following amenities:Complimentary BreakfastPool(s)Business CenterLaundry FacilitiesHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbySince I have not been able to identify any of the ones in my price range, I think I will do 3.5 star on Priceline and bid with the Crowne Plaza resort charge in mind. Should I post those results in this thread or the other one? ETA: I bid up to $45 unsuccessfully. Before going higher, I am now reconsidering the 3* Disney north from my original post. In general, is there a significant difference between a 3* and 3.5*?
thereuare Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 In general, is there a significant difference between a 3* and 3.5*?There is vartiation within the same category, some consider the variation between the low-end and the high-end to be large, others to be small... so it depends upon your temperment. So if you compare a 3.5* on the highend of the range to a 3* at the lowed of the range the potential is there for a signficant difference... likewise if you compare a high-end 3* to a lowend 3.5* there may be very little difference (and since ratings are subjective, it's possible that some may even prefer the 3* to the 3.5*)Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

famofive Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 For three rooms. First bid at $44 and received the response that I could get a room if I increased to $56. I disregarded that, and kept increasing in $2 increments until accepted at $48. Even with the $12 resort fee, this was better than the 3* options on Hotwire.Thank you!
famofive Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 Just to close this out, I opted to go with bidding for a 3.5* on Priceline. My inlaws are joining us, so we increased to 3 rooms. Successful at $48/night. Thanks.
thereuare Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Congrautlations on your success!Nicely done... hope this ultimately works out well for your needs and your happy with the results.Thank you for sharing your win with the board.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
