Last minute deals?

[DisKim]

OK, here's my story. We had a trip planned with free dining. I had to cancel it because we were purchasing a house which was supposed to close around the same time and I was nervous to have a vacation in the middle of a move. Well, the home we are purchasing is a short sale and because there are so many situations like this it has been delayed time and again. I still have our plane tickets which will just go to waste if we don't go.

Here's the kicker. The tickets are for 8/21. I thought I would bring the situation up here because I'm looking for advice on where to book. I thought I might be able to get a good deal off site plus I would eat my heart out staying onsite without the free dining anymore. I'm not familiar with places off site. Any advice? Thanks!

I'd send a quick note via windsorhillsrent.com You'll get in touch with several owners at once, so it is efficient for you. Very close to the parks, a nice resort-style pool, and you might even get a deal on a townhome or pool home with a private pool.

Ceck out travelzoo http://hotels.travelzoo.com/orlando-hotels/

There is a deal on there for bookit.com and they have some good last minute deals like free nights and resort credits. They have villas, condo's and hotels on there.

I don't know what your requirements and budget are but many of the downtown disney hotels have great rates right now (see downtowndisneyhotels.com). You would be extremely close but with better amenities than many of the disney on site properties.

I also noticed on mousesavers that the new Gaylord resort has an end of the summer sale for $99 a night. For the quality of the hotel that seems like a bargain.

Thanks for the ideas! I forgot to mention that we are a family of 5. I'm trying to keep the cost of the room down to as near to $100 per night as possible.
