GaryGnu Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Planning a trip to Disney World in the April 4-12 timeframe. The dates are not set. They can vary. So can the length of the stay. I would prefer 5-7 days. I'd probably want at least 3*. Any bidding help would be appreciated.
thereuare Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Please follow-up your previous Priceline NYC and Chinoteaque threads with whatever you ended up doing for each stay, then bump this thread and we'll comment regarding the above.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Updated.As per our reply to your thread, please check our support page for your hotel direct purchases.For your stay above, what is the determining factor if you'll be booking for 5 nite or up to 7 nites? Is the flexibility in dates only in search of the lowest rate? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
GaryGnu Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 The lowest rate would be the biggest determining factor for the flexibility. Ideally, the hotel will coincide with the flights I can attain also. If we could find low enough rates, we might stay longer.Thanks.
thereuare Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 So how what date range and bidding limit to you want to use to start?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Are you able to commit to a non-refundable hotel purchase without confirmed airline tickets? With so many variables to you stay, and contingent plans, i'm not really clear on the order you intend to make your purchases.

GaryGnu Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 April 4-11.Not really sure how to handle it actually. I've never booked a flight in conjunction with a priceline hotel stay. I will probably check prices of flights, and then go for hotel dates where flights are reasonable. I don't know if I'll try to use priceline for the air fare.
thereuare Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Let us know which zone(s) you're willing to accept and your maximum bid, we'll then suggest a generic strategy for you to follow. Also, since you previously stated you want a 3* minimum, are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel for this stay?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

GaryGnu Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 Disney Area and possibly Universal Studios.I'd be willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel.My limit is going to be around $100/night.
JamieDDS Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 If your price limit is $100 you will have no prob getting a resort. I've stayed in 2 resorts in the Orlando area in the past 2 months. The most I payed has been $87.Universal and WDW have very nice resorts. :)ONE TIP I have is get your flight FIRST. And, I wouldn't get your plane ticket through priceline...air fares are so cheap right now, I wouldn't risk a hastle for saving a few bucks through PL. Go to kayak or Expedia to do your flight!

GaryGnu Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for your assistance. We decided not to go to Disney World at this time. We might try it in the winter.
annievv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Oh,no! This was great for me....I'm thinking of trying to do Priceline for Disney May 27-30 and then Tampa/Clearwater May 30-June 1.Trying to get some ideas for bidding! I love this site!
