Just wanted to thank Barry Hom again, as I have "won" 2 nights (one for night before WDW, one for night after) WDW. Priceline was all new to me, but I now understand the way things work.
Here is a summary of my "winnings":
Travelodge Hotel Main Gate East- $20.00 room +$2.28 tax + $5.95 processing fee. Same room with online special (without priceline) = $47.96+tax. 3 miles to WDW, pools, shuttles, etc. We just wanted an inexpensive place to sleep!!!
Sleep Inn Main Gate-$20 room + $2.16 tax+ $5.95 fee. Same room online with summer specia (without priceline) =$59.95+tax. 4 miles to WDW, pools, shuttles, free cont. breakfast...etc.
If anyone has questions I can try to answer them. You basically just choose the area where you want to stay, the night(s), and then name a price. Start low, and continue higher if you wish. It only took 15 minutes to know if I was accepted. Be aware, that if you get acceted that your credit card is automatically charged, and there are no cancelations. Ren
