Priceline Hotel: Resort Orlando (Disney Main Gate-Celebration) Gaylord Palms

[Les Claypool Tallahassee]

Very pleased with this win. Stayed at the Gaylord Palms once before and absolutely LOVED it. Can't wait to go back again. The only downside of this hotel (which I was already aware of) is that they charge a $17 resort fee AND $12 for self-parking. ($20/valet) I'm not elated about that, but this place is so nice, I don't really mind. Effectively getting arguably the best hotel in Orland for $99/night. I'll take it!

Started @ $60. Immediately got the "increase by $17..." response.

Added $2 a new zone until I got to $70, and won.

As always, I used the PRICELINE link from this site.

Congrats on snagging Gaylord Palms at that price. I would like to try to get this hotel for an upcoming trip. Can you please share the details of your bidding strategy? Did it come up as a 4-star or 4.5-star? I can identify it on Hotwire bids, but would like to try to use Priceline rates.

thanks

FYI, on Priceline, it's one of only 2 "resorts." The other is the Omni Championsgate. I've stayed at both, and loved my experience at each one. When I bid I knew I was going to win one, so it was a no-brainer. The key is not to include the Lake Buena Vista Zone. That's where the Hilton @ DisneyWorld is, and should be avoided at all costs.

Good luck and I hope that helps!
