Yay! So happy that worked out for you!!DME update:
my docs came today. they have all 4 names (not just me & DH) on the confirmation sheet even though I was unsuccessful in getting them added to my hotel reservation.
general travel update: I booked our airfare into MCO on 2/24. I checked flight prices today and our exact same flight is more than half the price than it was when I booked. as in, I booked at $71RT (Frontier airlines, no judgment ... LOL) and today it's $31RT. Insane.
I’m still going to try to get the kids on the reservation - I’m not 100% sure having just a letter will get them on DME.Yay! So happy that worked out for you!!
And now I’m looking for flights... those are great prices!!!
i saved this from this thread which might helpFor the sake of searching through this thread: what are the express search results for express deals. Looking to nap AOA for the first week in April. Thanks a million!
Is there a set time that PL/HW inventory drops ... or is it random times throughout the day?
PL did shut down bidding for travel's affiliate relationship. For years you were asked to bid through amazing bargans. At one time they BFT didn't even post a direct link. Hotwire and PL will make the searches "more opaque" when and if the hotel chains complain.those are good points. Also, HW/PL truly didn't want people to know the hotel ..... they would've found a way to shut down better bidding and bidding for travel years ago. I can remember lurking over there to figure out which hotel descriptions were the Swan/Dolphin long before WDW resorts ever showed up on those sites.

I wish I could rebook & get the credit. I'd go a day earlier and use the savings to book the hotel. $71RT for spring break is good, and if I hadn't checked today ... I'd be blissfully unaware of what I missed. LOL
I am still going to try to get the kids on the room reservation. I've come too far to give up now
I had what I thought was one of the All Stars pop up the other week - by the time I clicked through to investigate, it was gone. It was early in the morning, which is what made me wonder if that's when the action happens .... evidently, that's not the case. LOLI know it was random this week for my May dates. On my lunch break I know I saw probably YC but it wasn't there in the morning or like a half and hour after I saw it. That one still hurts because I would have loved to snag it.
For what it's worth just in case you aren't able to secure a tower room, I was at Coronado solo last month and got "upgraded" for free to a preferred room in Casitas 2. I was super close to the Mercado and the "old" main building is connected to the tower with a covered walkway. It was a very short walk to everything - I was pleasantly surprised. Plus I was very close to bus stop 2, so coming back from the parks that was the first stop and I didn't have a long walk and didn't have to stay on the bus.For Coronado- is there ever an option to get a tower room in a hot rate or express deal? I feel like it just always lets me choose the number of beds, but I'd prefer tower if I'm taking a solo trip.
Can somebody help me figure out which hotel is this? I keep trying to get the number of reviews it has (like in the image someone posted above) but it shows for some hotels, not all of them. This is for August 4-10th, 4 adults. I’m pretty sure there’s Coronado for $202, but can’t figure out this one.
There's a Priceline Express deal that really has me stumped. I'd appreciate any input:

8+
$172 per night
Hotel Amenities
Free Internet Available
Outdoor Swimming Pool
Airport Shuttle
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
Fitness Center
Handicapped Rooms/Facilities
Spa
Restaurant

I feel like the room configurations should be tells, but I am just not familiar enough to know what they may be. Choices are:
Two Double
One King
Two Double w/Resort View
One King & One Sofabed - Suite
My hunch is that it may be Boardwalk Villas. But I'd love a second opinion. Thanks!
