Priceline—Are they really this cheap?

[Mother2two]

Hi all. I went on Priceline to book our hotel for our trip to Disney. We were thinking of a resort, but we want three beds and don’t want to pay the cost for a suite. It is myself, my husband, and my two adult children who are going. Okay- now I’m rambling. I couldn’t believe how low is the cost of hotels near Disney. $200 for a two bedroom suite
Is this a scam or are the prices really that good in December?

TIA

i can't speak to your specific hotel or deal, but I've use priceline a bit and have never had their 'deal' not be everything they said it would be .... and have more pending for this summer in Europe ....

It's not a scam but parking and resort fees are frequently extra. $200 for a 2 bedroom sounds like a timeshare rental. Make sure you're not required to attend an educational presentation.

I prefer to make reservations directly with the hotel, even if it costs more. I just feel better with that. I’m sure you’ll be ok, but either way it sounds like you will be splitting the fee 3 ways so it won’t be that bad price wise.

Just check to make sure the hotel resort fees are included in the price.

There are some properties that are that bad. A PL rating of 4* should be decent. 3.5* probably OK 3* is a crap shoot.

It is multiple hotels. Hyatt, Sheraton to name a few.

Is it in the Bonnet Creek or Disney Springs area? If so, there is a Priceline Hidden Deal Resort Finder tool to help narrow down what hotel it may be: https://c3acv367.caspio.com/dp/a6b6c000276612e50f7b4f49b7fb

Timeshare hotels in the Orlando area are plentiful. Too much supply, not enough demand. Be careful though, the quality fo them varies quite a bit. The Marriott’s, Sheraton’s, and Hilton Grand Vacation Clubs are decent. Westgates and others not so much. Not sure about Priceline but at least on Orbitz many of these are rentals by owner posted to the travel site.

Sheraton Vistana for $200ish - $250ish a night for a 2 bedroom is well within the realistic range, and a good price for a decent hotel right next to WDW. You can book it directly from Marriott for that price, and Priceline is probably owners renting it for cheaper than that.
