Priceline Bids/results

I use PL very frequently and very rarely do I complain about what I get. I did recently use them for naming my on price on Airfare for my trip in Oct. I got round trip for $270 which for me was a great rate. I am flying Delta but I am getting a day earlier then I had planned because I was hoping for a red eye flight. I went on and booked a hotel for the extra night before going to my Disney resort and got Legacy Vacation Club. I know noting about it at all and it does have some negative reviews but I go it for $40 and it says the resort fee is $3.99. I can't really complain because after traveling all day I just want a pool to swim in and a pillow to rest my head before my 9 days at Disney begins. I will continue to endorse Priceline services because I have gotten some amazing deals in Las Vegas and other locations.
 
We won Dolphin by bidding on in Lake Buena Visit for one night: March 18, 2015 -- price was $90. Though that didn't include taxes OR the resort fee to allow us to park. All in, it was closer to $140/night. It was great being on property and a good deal for Dolphin, BUT we were doing something cheap and it was a $50 difference between what we wanted to pay and actually pay. Downfall of bidding, I suppose.

Not Priceline but Disney resorts do show up on Hotwire Hot Rates. Disney Bonnet Creek area with airport shuttle, that'll be a Disney resort.
Which Disney resorts did you book using hotwire hot rates? Do you have a link to a help site confirming this?

AFAIK Disney operated hotels don't participate with any opaque booking site

Sorry for the late reply; I was actually away at WDW for a big stretch back then. I booked one night, got SSR studio which worked out fine as it book ended our week in a 1 br at SSR. I could have gotten a better rate elsewhere but I had a Hotwire credit so I gave it a shot and I was happy. You read the listings and it's pretty obvious those are Disney resorts.

Was that bidding or an express deal?
 


Recently booked a Priceline Express Deal for Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel in DS for $50/night. On top of that, they charge a $79 resort fee per stay. In total, it works out to about $65/night.

Sounds like you got a good deal! Does this Best Western include breakfast like all the other ones do?
 
That's so strange? I've never stayed in a Best Western that did not include breakfast. Will you have a fridge & microwave?

Agreed. I wish they had it. They do have a rate on Mousesavers that is about $100/night that does include a continental breakfast.

The website says that all rooms have refrigerators, but it looks like not all of the rooms have microwaves as some of the upgraded rooms mention having a microwave in the description of the room.

Honestly, it seems like they really nickel and dime you at this BW. They charge a resort fee, don't have free breakfast, and charge for parking. That being said, it works perfectly for me since I don't have a car and don't plan on spending much time in the room. Breakfast would have been really nice, but I will get breakfast foods myself to save on that.

Ugh. I hate that kind of thing :headache:. What star level was your hotel on Express Deals?
 
Guess not. First time to try to bid or ? wondering if there's any difference between PL and HWire. Booking more dates for WDW June. :))
 
No dedicated thread for Disney hotels with Priceline or Hotwire that I know of anyway. I've used both Priceline and Hotwire several times, but Priceline is definitely the preferred for us. You can bid or use the express deal to have a bit more control. We often book the Red Lion hotel which is just outside WDW. If on a budget, it can save you a lot of money. In mid May, we stayed at the Red Lion for $38 a night with express deals via Priceline. I've never actually booked a Disney owned hotel with Priceline before. Good luck!
 
Just letting you all know I got the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort $60 night for 4 nights. By the time they add the hotel fee and Priceline fees and taxes, my amount per night will be about $81 per night total. The Sheraton is a 4* and is a nice hotel with a good location to Disney. My dates are 4 nights April 14,15,16,17, 2018.
