So Priceline defaults to two adult occupancy; I'm thinking about adding on the dining plan and it's just going to be me, so do I need to call Disney Wholesale to remove the second adult from the reservation? what's the number?
oooh, i didn't realize you'd be able to upgrade a priceline deal! I got a priceline express deal for all star music standard view, and would love to upgrade it to a preferred view...can you still ask about an upgrade if you do online checkin?
I just chatted with a PL rep online and they contacted Disney Wholesale and were told to send an email adding an extra person. They did say there would be an additional charge at check-in. We'll see...but I'll be fine with that.
*goes and checks for my spring trip*Thheeeeyyyy'rreeeee bbbbaaaacccckkkkk!
Ok. I'm home with a sick DD7 who is camped out in front of the tv so I figured I'd use this time to finally try to figure out this PL / HW opaque Disney room thing. I'm sure this has been addressed but I while I go back and read further into this thread can someone let me know how people make this work for a family of 4 if the rooms are guaranteed for only 2?
If I’m not mistaken, the only 4.5 star hotels in Bonnet Creek are:
Swan (resort fee and no airport shuttle)
Grand Floridian (airport shuttle and no resort fees, but $172 sounds very low even for Priceline express)
AKV Jambo (airport shuttle and no resort fees)
Note: AKV Kidani and AKLodge are listed as 4 stars on PL.
Thanks! So are Disney hotels the only ones that don't charge a resort fee in the Bonnet Creek and Disney Springs areas?Seems like AKV if there's no resort fee.
I think there's a few that don't. The biggest tells are amenities now (Free internet, restaurant, and swimming pool only), although even those are becoming less reliable as well, as mentioned above by the villas.Thanks!

Ok. I think I'm getting the hang of this. On PL right now and I'm seeing a 4.5 star hotel in the Disney World Bonnet Creek Area. Hotel Canary says it's very likely that it's AKV Jambo. There are no additional mandatory fees. (Those are resort fees right?) Does this mean I can book AKV for $172 per night or am I missing something? It also lists an airport shuttle but I thought I read somewhere that PL isn't listing that for WDW hotels anymore?
Compare the price that is slashed out on the express deal with the price that is listed for a regular booking of AKV-J. See if it matches up.Ok. I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Sorry to quote same post again, but it wouldn't let me add the screen shot to the other one. Here is what one person booked and got AKV-J.Ok. I think I'm getting the hang of this.
