Booked the Dolphin at a great rate but...

now I'm nervous.

We had a reservation for 12/26 - 1/1 at the Wilderness Lodge at $420/night for a courtyard view which is all that was available. Struggling with the price, several people here on the DIS suggested Swan/Dolphin at $299/night for the week after Christmas.

After doing some looking, I found that tripres.com had the Dolphin for an average per night of $241. Wanting to save over $50/night I booked through tripres.com and got my confirmation.

This seems like a great rate at the Dolphin since all of the other sites are at $299/night. Has anyone used tripres.com for the Swan/Dolphin? Any issues?

did you have to pay in full at booking?

Yes, we had to pay in full at booking. That doesn't bother me a lot since a lot of the websites such as Expedia and Orbitz also require this for a lot of their reservations. Also, they do have a cancellation policy.

Just noticed that they also have the Swan for $214/night for the week after Christmas which is almost $100/night less than everywhere else.

Anyone have experience with tripres.com?

I can't wait to hear if anyone else used this website. What a great deal you got!

I just called the Swan/Dolphin to see if they would match the price. Of course not, but the guy said he wouldn't be too worried about booking thru tripres. He said that it is not uncommon to have such internet deals. For our trip 12/27 - 1/3 there could be no cancellation. The price is great!!!
