ddlabcret Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 have been trying to bid for 3* (or 3.5*) hotels in Anaheim or Irvine. (Anaheim is preferred though :) )will try to stay over there from 12/27/04-12/29/04.I tried $25, $27, $33, $35 but have not succeeded.I thought I could ask for some suggestion.Thankscheers :) Link to comment
ddlabcret Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Oh yeah,I've been trying to add and re-bid strategy, but could not suceed :) any other tricks I could try on?Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Are you saying that you tried re-bidding but nothing was accepted or you couldn't figure out your re-bid zones?

ddlabcret Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 well ... that's not what I meanI tried to add Fullerton, Costa-Mesa Irvine, Fountain Valley, and Newport Area for the re-bidding schemes.well, I started with $25 until $35 with those addition.Does it mean I just need to up my bid?Or is there any other way to get around 30s? (like others)Thanks thereuare Link to comment
WillTravel Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 That's a really busy time of year at Disneyland.I'd definitely consider upping my bid. Last year my successful bid for that time period (but I also included New Year's Eve) was $45. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It is a busy time of year (winter recess for many school aged children) but rates aren't too high <yet!>.I just think u're bids are too low. There is a 3.5* hotel on Hotwire (likely 3* on Priceline) for $45 and that would be the figure i'd try to beat. Since you have plenty of time i wouldn't be adding Irvine at this time. When you are able to bid again i would do the following (assuming you know your two re-bid zones):Select 3* Disneyland and...Bid $37, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $39.If rejected close that browser and re-access Priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Disneyland and re-bid zone2:Bid $41, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $43.Let us know how it goes.

ddlabcret Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 just want to report the result. :) I got the Radisson Knotts Berry Farm with $41 pn for two days (12/27/04-12/29/04)First, I started with $40 on Disneyland area -- rejected.Then add Buena Park - Cypress area and upped my bid to $41 -- it got accepted.I checked the website and it was stated as 3* hotel.Does anyone know about this hotel?One good thing tough, it is close to Disneyland and provides FREE shuttle from the hotel. :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Glad you were successful and happy with the result.Did you not understand which zones were your re-bid zones OR did you choose to try for the Buena Park zone as well?Thanks for the follow-up.Have a great stay and enjoy your time at the park.

ddlabcret Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Well I decided not to include Costa-Mesa.And also decided to add the Buena Park area.Since from the map it seems that Buena Park is closer to Anaheim than Fullerton-Brea, I put it first as the additional zone for bidding strategyThanks.sorry for the confusion Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Not a problem... just want to make sure you changed your mind rather than not understand re-bidding. Double-checking now can avoid potential future bidding mistakes. :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
ddlabcret Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 thanks again.by the way, do you know about this hotel somehow?I saw that the rating is 3.5*... so I think it might be a good one.that's all. just want to make surecheers Link to comment
