Priceline Hotel: Resort Orlando (WDW) Wyndham Palace Resort and Spa

[seningen]

Is it still too early -- or is there something keeping rates fairly high.

I would expect a fairly slow period similar to September -- but rates

via PL and HW still seem to be high?

Is the Food & Wine Festival that big a draw -- or is it still too early

for inventory to be placed on PL and HW.

I'm looking for WDW 3* <$40, or WDW RESORT <$65. Oct 1 - 10.

with possible splits of 10/1-10/2, 10/3-10/10 or 10/1-10/4, 10/5/-10/10

Not looking for bidding strategies -- so much as gut feels for when to bid :-)

thanks,

M.

The Food and Wine Festival IS big however it would probably affect the Boardwalk resorts at Disney more then other hotels.

There are alot of conventions I have heard in October too.

We are going 3 nights 10/11-14 and I am playing a waiting game hoping Disney will give out some good rates and if not do Priceline.

I'll also add that both of your bids are near the low end of the generally accepted range.

That is true! You may want to try one more bid

Well well well, after months of bidding -- some place finally

bit for my WDW trip.

Started at 60, used a rebid -- hit at 62.

Wyndham Palace Resort And Spa

Not my first choice -- but at $62 I'm pleased. $161/nt on Wyndham

Webrate, $86/nt on Hotwire.

My wife will be thrilled with the location. Not the best of

reviews -- but we will be at WDW the whole time.

Still need to fill in my conference stay earlier in the week.

But I can survive in lessor surroundings :-)

cheers,

Mike

Congratulations on your winning bid... i know you've been at this one for a bit.

This is probably the most popular resort hotel to be won in this zone and generally people feel that they have gotten a good value (as indicated by the savings you note above).

Enjoy your stay.
