Priceline and Dec trip

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

We are going to WDW for three days before our DCL vacation. Since we plan to spend the bulk of our money on the cruise, we are looking to stay at a nice hotel for a decent price. HAve never used Priceline before, but am willing to try it. We really don't want to spend more than $85 a night and have heard you can get swan/dolpin for around that? Have looked to stay offsite at Buena Vista Suites ($85/night) and Radisson - Parkway/Maingate($63.00).

We are going 12/3 - 12/6. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Swan/Dolphin only seem to come up in spurts on Priceline and you dont know when it will show up..I wouldnt count on getting one of those..

Have you been to www.biddingfortravel.com? They have a lot of helpful info over there.

I used bidding for travel for my March trip. I got Courtyard DD for $29. It was just perfect for that trip. Just watch the site to see what comes up. Also travelocity.com has reviews for lots of hotels.

I used Priceline for our trip in Dec. Bid for a 3 star hotel and received the Hotel Royal Plaza for $40. I wish you well if you use priceline. Expedia and Orbitz also had some good prices as well.

Thanks everyone. I am going to take my time getting to know the biddingfortravel site. It is kind of confusing, so I don't want to jump in blind. $29 sounds great! Was that the Marriot Courtyard Downtown Disney hotel?

How far in advance did you get the ressie? Should I do it now or later? Thanks
