Booking for a last minute trip

[DisKim]

My mother just found out she is off next week and asked if I would like to go on a last minute trip to Disney. I'm a notorious planner so this last minute thing is all new to me. I usually stay on property but I have been trying to find a place off site to save money since I didn't budget for a trip this summer. Does anyone know where I might find last minute deals for next week? I would prefer a condo or suite. Thanks!!

I would go to www.windsorhillsrent.com and send out a request that specified your needs (# of bedrooms and anything else that is important to you). Tell them that you are looking for reduced last minute pricing. Good luck!


ETA: Just saw this, but I have no personal knowledge of the seller (2BR at Bonnet Creek - while not technically "on property", you have to go "on property" to get to it, and it's a great location) http://cgi.ebay.com/Fairfield-Orlando-Bonnet-Creek-6-23-7Nt-2BR-slp8-NR_W0QQitemZ230145261961QQihZ013QQcategoryZ3257QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And this - note that it has a "Make an Offer" option (1BR at Bonnet Creek - while I haven't used this seller, I know that others on this board have mentioned them before with satisfactory results) http://cgi.ebay.com/Fairfield-Orlando-at-Bonnet-Creek-FL-Resort-1-bd-condo_W0QQitemZ110136536117QQihZ001QQcategoryZ1160 87QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Travelzoo.com has a 2bdrm condo for your dates for $109. per night. Just go to www.travelzoo.com, select "lodgings" and then Orlando from the list that comes up. (It shows $89 per night, but that is for Aug. For your dates you have to add $20.)

A recent poster had good things to say about a new development in Kissimmee, Seven Dwarfs Lane. It isn't as upscale as Windsor Hills, but the units look very nice.

Here's one with availability next week, for $499 for the week (plus 13% tax). That's just a little over $70 per night. You might even be able to make an offer since they have availability. It is a 3bed/2 bath unit. http://www.vrbo.com/112045


You might also have a look at HotelKingdom.com. People report getting good deals on that site too.

Good luck & have fun!

Thanks so much for the responses!! There are some great deals to be had out there. I can't believe how cheap the rates are on hotelkingdom. I had never heard of that site before!
