Priceline Express Deals

[momto4obkids]

We are looking for a last minute deal on any moderate OR Pop Century or All Star Movies. We aren't interested in All Star Sports or Music because they don't have refurbished rooms yet. Our dates are June 27-July 1. Can anyone help? I'm just starting to figure out this whole Express Deals thing! We are using Magical Express, so an on-property resort is a must.

Thanks for any help!

I see one coming up for $95 a night for your dates. It looks to be Art of Animation Little Mermaid rooms.

I don't see anything else on the express deals that would be a Disney resort right now.

the other day when I was checking hotwire, I was offered a chance to check a sample of the room ... an tips to have that come up again? I can't remember what I didn't to make that an option! LOL!

There is nothing special. Some hotels have a room preview and some do not.

Is the sample an online preview? Like just pics of the room?

Yes, when it's come up for me, it's a single photo of a room at the hotel (always of the beds). It makes it very easy to identify the property!

I wish I could figure out the secret to making it pop up, it was one and done for me. LOL

That’s what I’m saying. There is no secret. Some hotels allow a preview of an actual room and some do not.

Just wanted to say thanks to those who posted 10% off coupon - was able to get the Hyatt in the Orlando airport for our late night arrival on a express deal.

Nothing at Disney resorts right now. When you search, narrow down to Walt Disney Resort-Bonnet Creek (most resorts) and Walt Disney Resort-Disney Springs (for Port Orleans). Look for amenities listed as free internet access, swimming pool, restaurant (sometimes spa for deluxe hotels). Hotel Canary is a big help, but you can further narrow it down by looking for that. Also Disney resorts don't charge a mandatory (resort) fee. Swan and Dolphin and several of the other non-Disney resorts on Disney property do.

If you do Priceline and use a code I think that you will be doing ok. And that is at Disney.

For example, I see CBR for 168 a night, POFQ at 185, and PORS for 191, Animal Kingdom Villas for 273... All of those are without the code so you can save a bit more (before taxes...).

Course, I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Note, I only checked Express Deals (of which there are currently none for those dates), these are regular Priceline deals. Which generally are the same as Disney's (though sometimes you can score a room which was sold out on Disney's website).

Yup, this wasn't a critique of what you posted earlier... (my apologies if it appeared that way) and I specifically mentioned using a code.

I checked those prices against Disney's site and all of the prices seemed very decent... that's all.

If I were looking for that time I would use them (if I couldn't find a better express deal)... both of which I can't do in Sept.

Just wanted to point out that once in a while the published rates are lower than Disney. I’m staying at Coronado now on a published deal, and it was about $75 a night cheaper than Disney’s rates (even Annual Passholder rates.) YMMV.

And if you search the specific areas suggested by @justlook3, "airport shuttle should be a pretty good tip off. No other properties in those two areas offers a(n implied) free shuttle.

Disney is too far from the airport .

Yes, I just wanted to clarify to avoid confusion, especially since I read it wrong and didn't think Express Deal (I guess it was an extra coffee day, so I apologize for sounding huffy). Actually those rates looked pretty good! I used an express deal back in December (!) for my September trip and got Animal Kingdom Villas for $159 a night. But I need an extra night now because of my flight and I really am having a hard time justifying paying more than I did for that for an All Star or Pop. Sigh. Given that with the exception of the Epcot area, there are tons of rooms still available, I'm hoping Express deals will pop up soon for us on September trips!
For my date, the rates are pretty much the same as rack, I have had luck on Expedia in the past getting a sale rate when a room/resort I wanted was sold out on Disney's site. And of course, Expedia/Priceline/etc can be used with cash back sites which saves you a little more too.

I just did a search on the PL app, clicked express deals. Chose what I know to be Dolphin just to double check the total. On the generic resort description page - where it has the brand it could be and what is around the area - it has the Dolphin info. It mentions the resort by name several times and has the specific details for the hotel. Not much of a blind bid

Edit - is this something that has been mentioned before? I just went on it again and tried a different hotel this one I knew was the Waldorf. Clicked on the total then went back and it brought up the Waldorf Astoria name and info.
