Priceline Express Deals

If I'm using the tool correctly, this would be AS Sports? We are looking for end of January. Should I wait until it gets closer for potentially better deals? We do already have a room booked at POP with 25% discount.

Yes....highly confident that is AS Sports....but that is a lame discount....it is non refundable....and your trip is way off in the distance...Disney just announced some new discounts for early 2025....see what the direct price is for A/S.

Pop these days costs way more than A/S and there is a particular week in Jan that the Skyliner will be down for refurb.

I would not pay for Pop at all if the Skyliner was down!

Pop Century is also 3 star, 8+, 700 ratings. I don't know your exact dates so can't say which is more likely. I agree with the PP that the discount is lame. After adding in the Priceline fee, it may cost more than booking directly from Disney.

We need a room for a weekend night - Nov 16. Right now I have AS Sports booked through WDW ($215/nt and not one room onsite has discount that night). I tried to find something through Priceline but either doing it wrong or there’s just no inventory.

ETA- this is the best discount:

Is the first one high chance of Coronado Springs, and second one AoA or other All Star Family Suite?

We are going to wait for it to be closer before we try booking one through Priceline, I just wanted to make sure I was guesstimating the correct resort the same way other people were!

As/S is sold out for our dates, Pop was all that was left for value hotels. We will likely be there during the skyliner closure so we will most likely pay for an A/S instead if we can get one. Only thing bringing us to Pop is a potential skyliner resort day on our no park day so if the skyliner is closed, there's no point paying the extra.

We have a DVC and move to SSR for a week after a couple of nights at Pop so not looking to go over a value for the first couple of nights.

I’m in a similar situation with what I think is the same resort as mentioned in the last few posts.
Im pretty sure it’s All Star Sports but I find it odd that the WDW site is showing as sold out. I need a WDW resort in order to use the DCL transportation.

I booked the first one for $210 which was indeed Coronado Springs. It’s a king bed category which is higher initial rack rate ($428/nt) than standard or pool view. We only have 2 people so that is fine.

$257/nt after taxes and fees for a very busy WDW night on Fri Nov 16, 2024.

Everything on WDW site is full price. DVC had no studios left many many moons ago and DVC confirmed reservations that night had nothing in the last 4 months I’ve been checking. So thank you @JJTNY and everyone else on this board!

I had booked All Stars a couple weeks ago for $215/nt. WDW sent me a ‘special’ pincode to upgrade to POR for another $165. Lol, no thanks. Coronado for an extra $42 is much better.

This morning I see ASSp and ASMu available directly with WDW but Priceline still says sold out. However, the price is $192 at ASSp so the price I have in the pic above seems TGTBT. Are there any other options that are not a WDW resort that would be in a 3 star in Bonnet Creek?

ETA....Priceline now has ASMu at $193.

What are your dates?
(I recently booked for that $105 price. I should get the "hint you've booked here before" message.)

Nov 28-30 but I could also just book the one night, Nov 29th

Nov 28-30 but I could also just book the one night, Nov 29th

I also don't see a transparent option, but I get this. This is the same price I paid a few days earlier than your dates.

(The WDW hotels I've booked through PLE in Bonnet Creek are Movies, Sports, and Coronado. So it appears to be sports - I've never actually stayed there yet lol)

Someone else can probably better answer your question about non-WDW 3-stars in Bonnet Creek

Thank you. I need to have a little more certainty before booking it. It has to be a WDW resort in order for me to book the DCL bus. If it’s not, then I’m going to book my accommodation elsewhere via air miles and drive to the port.

Totally understandable!

I was just relooking it...and it says the regular price is $135. That part does not check.

DH is about to book it though since 4 of us are now going and we need another room for 2 nights. If it's not ASports I'll be sure to report back.

(Edited: DH just got ASports for the week before your dates)

Maybe I will go for it then. We have to decide if we want to still redeem some miles and stay somewhere else for the first night. Our flight arrives around 8:30pm so we are not doing anything other than going to the hotel.

The inventory on the WDW site and on third party sites often are not the same blocks of rooms - if Disney themselves did not post these rooms on Priceline (they likely did not since you noticed Sports is sold out), then this is a room block that a third party made a deal to sell and are now trying to cash out.

The only 3 star resorts in Bonnet Creek are Disney Values, so you have to get a Disney resort.
Here's their current status:


Any hidden deal for a 3-star 8-guest rated resort with 700 reviews you see in the current drop is almost certainly Sports as opposed to Pop. Have not seen actual Pop deals on Priceline for a very long time and they'd very likely be priced higher.

That table above is from my resort matcher tool which you can use here: http://bit.ly/JJTPEDeals

BTW: For reference, there is a single 3-star resort in DISNEY SPRINGS: the Drury. Priceline weirdly has no star or guest ratings on listings for that resort.

I have been monitoring a particular date in late October.......don't want to pull the trigger due to the non refundable status and the dicey weather possible chances 15 to 20 days from now.

But here is the reason I am posting.........

I am definitely seeing AS Sports room show up and then go away.....with funny pricing.....one time at about 150 but was "49 percent off" so the base price before taxes fees was like 79 bucks.......but within 12 hours I saw the same room listed at about 100 bucks it but only "22 percent off" and it was about 78/79 bucks....strange!

I know it is AS Sports because I am always given the hint.

Once again....I will not pull the trigger until the Gulf/Atlantic forecast is "dry" for WDW. Once they show me a 7-10 day forecast that overlaps my visit I will consider it.....but by then, there may be nothing left.

I presently split the difference and have 3 ED days and 5 Disney direct days (which are refundable)

So am only gambling 300 bucks so far.

Priceline loves to do weird things - there was one drop of deals a few years ago that showed up one day, was gone 2 days later, then repeated the process several times over the next month.

But, usually it is the same pricing each time when that happens, so a bit new that you're seeing that changing!

 

[rangerxenos]

Would this be AKL?

Not seeing a Resort Fee, but I'm not sure where it would show up?

 

[BridgetBordeaux]

For anyone with questions like......Is the "X" resort?......you need to at least give us the date span of your search.

.....and yes, screen shots help too

That allows those of us with "hints" to help you.

I can only be very helpful for AS Sports at this moment in time.

There are some listing discrepancies for several Disney resort that we are aware of.....like the AoA Family suites (ED) are listed as a Queen OR a Full OR a Sofa bed...........when in actuality they have all 3!

Also a reminder that some offers come and go and comeback and go away again......so at 8am the whole world may see an offer and at 10:30 am nothing at all shows up.

It is sometimes a game of cat and mouse!
