Something to be aware of with Priceline reservations if you're travelling with children:
I am still very happy with our ASM reservations and rate, but here is something that anyone travelling with kids should take note of (and something I will be more aware of if I ever use Priceline again.) As posted upthread, the Priceline reservations are made for 2 people, and you can't change that via Priceline. My husband and I are going to be travelling with our 2 children on this trip though.
I called 407-WDISNEY a bit ago to request a pack & play for our baby, and let them know that the children are coming as well. The cast member I spoke with told me that
they -cannot- make any modifications, requests or additions to a Priceline reservation, and because Priceline is acting as the "
travel agent" for our reservation, any requests need to be done through them. Well, anyone who's called Priceline to attempt to do this already knows they are no help - they are very firm about their "no requests no changes" policy. The cast member also said though that we could request the crib at check-in and it shouldn't be a problem.
I then called Magical Express at (866) 599-0951 to set up our flight & transport info with them. The woman I spoke with here was wonderful! I told her I wanted to set up info for our family, and she said that there were only 2 people listed on our reservation. I explained that I had booked the reservation online, but not through Disney, and our children were coming too. She said "Well, let's just add them to your reservation then. What are their names and ages?" And she took all of my various confirmation numbers, did this, and then said we should have our luggage tags and boarding passes, for all 4 of us, within 7-10 days. Whew!
So yes, you can definitely use Magical Express with these reservations, but I would set it up ahead of time if your children are coming with you.
(By the way, on your Priceline reservation, the "Hotel Confirmation Number" is your reservation with Disney -- this 12 digit number does correspond to Disney's 12-digit confirmation numbers too - but they also know it doesn't originate with their system. I also tried entering it in to the My Disney Vacation area of Disney's website [where you can view your reservation online] but the numbers do not work there -- again, likely because they originated with Priceline and not Disney.)
