Priceline Express Deals

I got all Star Mov the week before Christmas this past December for $78/night for 4 nights plus I used a HW coupon code (took off about $31) at the time and booked it through Rakuten (Ebates) to get cash back. I canā€™t remember the % back they were offering at the time but I got about $19 with that. All total I think I spent about $337 for those four nights including tax. I didnā€™t think that was a bad rate being so close to Christmas!
How far in advance were you able to book it?
 


Doing some recon on Hotwire for a possible fall trip - anyone know which 4 star in Bonnet Creek has family bunk rooms?

In Disney Springs, the B resort also has bunk rooms. Just something to think about, as it runs deals frequently and itā€™s one of the DS hotels with 60 day FP and EMH access.

The Wyndham Grand is very nice, and the shared amenities (amazing pool complex) with the timeshare Wyndham Bonnet Creek makes it an even sweeter deal. My family had a great stay at the Grand.
 
Thank you! Is it typically a standard view, do you know?
It's typically standard view. I would give no credence to the original list price (which is likely a savannah view or somesuch). In the past folks have been surprised with a savannah view at booking, but I would not expect it. Also, AKL, for the dates I've searched for, never gives me a room choice, so that's one less tool in the toolbox.
 
Can anybody take a guess at what this might be? 4 star-Bonnet Creek area, airport shuttle, fitness center, golf nearby, .2 miles from Animal Kingdom, 36% off cost: $323/nt. It says tax recovery charges and fees are $77. I need a room for one night (April 3rd) and am really hoping this is a Disney Property. This one was on Hotwire. I also found a 4.5 star resort on Priceline Express for $163. It says it is 1.2 miles from WDW has an airport shuttle and a mandatory fee. 445 reviews and 8+ rating. I think it is the Swan but I would really like for somebody to confirm. You guys are amazing and am hoping you can help me out. Thanks.

Airport shuttle and .2 miles from AK? Doesnā€™t make sense. That would mean itā€™s a Disney resort like right beside AK. Iā€™m stumped.

AKL ? Obviously we're assuming taxes and fees doesn't refer to a resort fee. I agree distance from AK kind of makes this a no brainier

On PE: Swan is the only 4.5* resort with a mandatory fee. (The other 2 4.5* resorts are GF and AK Jambo.)
They normally round the number of reviews on PE deals down to the nearest 100 (or 10 if less than 100), so I'd expect to see the deal list the number of reviews as "400".
The deal said that exact number 445? Weird. Could you tell me the date are you looking at?

I have not looked at Hotwire deals much myself, but regarding the 0.2 from AK: The only 4* resort that close are the AKL resorts.
Here's a map of all resorts in BC and DS I made for a visual: https://jjt.page.link/WDW_Resorts

Curious, Anyone know if the distance listed on a Hotwire deal is accurate?

I'd guess AKL for the 4* and Swan for the 4 1/2* but if you give me the dates I will check it out more thoroughly.

That is really impressive!

I am needing it for only one night April 2nd.

I see the Swan for April 2 - 4.5 stars, $161. I have booked the Swan before on Priceline so I see the ā€œyouā€™ve booked here beforeā€ hint.

Thank you! Iā€™m actually finding it cheaper on travelocity for a standard view but wasnā€™t sure if it would be worth the little extra money to hope for a savannah, decisions, decisions...
