how's resorts from priceline?

[boboever]

we are going with my 2years old and my parents.

I am considering to book through priceline. I want to get a suite with kitchen. I saw price line doesn't have suite option, but they have resorts. I am going to chose Disney World Vicinity Area .

But I don't know if it's a good choise. Anyone has experience with this? Thanks!

No, this is not a good choice.

You have No way of specifing that you want a suite. And more then likely you will get one room (Or two if you bid on two)

1. Go to www.biddingfortravel.com Read ALL the FAQs on hotel bidding.
2. on the above site read the Orlando hotel listing. If you are bidding on a resort in the WDW area you can get the Marriott Orlando World Center, Gaylord Palms, Hilton DTD or Wyndam DTD Very rarely the Hyatt shows up. If you can't live with ANY of them don't bid.

Hi..I totally agree. The resorts are all upscale very large hotels with fancy lobbies but basic rooms.
they also frequently add a "resort fee" and even parking to the room when you get there.
If you want a suite with a kitchen make sure that is what you get.
If you can affort 80 to 85 a night for a suite why not try www.vrbo.com or www.vacationrentals.com and look at a 2 or 3 bedroom condo at Emerald Island or Windsor Palms or Villas at Sommerset (all very close to Disney) that would have two bathrooms and lots of room. Only drawback is no daily cleaning, but our family could always live with that for the room and the convenience.

Good Luck..Ted

I agree with the above statements. Resort rooms are just those, basic rooms, no type of kitchenette's in them. You may want to checkout mousesavers.com as she has prices listed for Doubletree Suites in DTD (has type of kitchenette).

look for at least a 1-bedroom if not 2.

the timeshares (generally cheaper) - are listed 7 days period (you must get it for the entire week). make sure you add in $195 +$15 to what you will end up paying.

don't bid on anything that says 1-14 days (or more) - these are hotel rooms - you can generally find them cheaper (even on their on sites)
