Priceline Express Deals

[CJK]

I just wanted to thank you for your help finding WDW deals on Priceline. Our friends booked AKL for late October. We decided to do the same! We just returned from 7 nights at AKL for $270 per night. We even received a partial savanna view room which was just sensational. Already hoping to book another hotel over the next few months. LOL I'll keep my eyes posted on PL and on this thread. Thanks so much!

Regarding those specific dates......

I've been seeing a shortage of All Star Sports availability in January and February from the Disney direct site.

If you were trying to book through Disney for the same February 4th through 6th date, here are the only value options available besides Pop.

I used incognito mode so the offers we are seeing are things offered to the general public and not what is offered to annual pass holders or possibly for a bounce back offer.

Woohoo!

Just booked POR with express deals, saved $100/night vs WDW with a discount. Sorry, I know this has been asked 100 times, what number do I need to put it into MDE? Also, it wouldn't let me add my kids although it specifically says 2 queens. Is there a way to add them? We aren't booking LL so I don't know that it's 100% crucial that I do, if it's a huge PITA to do so.

In order to assist others please tell us the specific date of your reservation and how much you paid.

Many people are just able to put the Priceline confirmation number and their last name in the " link a reservation" section and that will do it.

If not, you can call Disney wholesale and they will tell you the full legitimate Disney reservation number.

407-939-7671... I think their hours are something like 9:00 to 5:00 at least 5 days a week.

They do not open up at 7:00 a.m. like the reservation people do.

If you are doing Early Entry, you'll want the kids on there. That's what drove us to keep trying.

To fix this recently, we had to call Priceline first (We called Disney first and they will direct you to that, in our experience, although I think PL said to call Disney initially too.) When we called PL and said Disney said they need to initiate the request, then PL sent the request to Disney to add the name.

Then we had to call back a few times to both companies because they said it was fixed and the child will be added within a few days, but she wasn't lol.

When Disney finally added DD, it wasn't her actual profile but a "ghost" name for her. I was able to go into DH's account and select DD from his family/friends list and it let me change. (I think Disney has it set up that way for this purpose because I'm pretty sure I can't change who is in our second room - also purchased through PLE).

I don't know that it was always this complex, it had been a while for us. So not sure if we were just unlucky

Some friends are considering a 3 day weekend in Disney next weekend (after hearing me say what a great deal we got on AKL in October). For the dates of Nov. 23 - 26, am I seeing Coronado Springs for $215 per night in an express pass deal? It's a 3.5 star hotel with 8+ rating.

Agree....it matches a king bedroom at 377

So that one would only sleep two, correct?

Just an update. When I put my POR reservation in MDE, I actually got a Royal Guest Room. I was shocked. So I paid $252 for a room that is $545 on the WDW website. One caveat to note, POR and POFQ are actually in the Disney Springs section, not Bonnet Creek, so make sure to check both.

That's awesome. What did it show for savings when you booked? I'm curious if it looked different versus how a standard room at POR would appear.

Great question. It showed 29% and I had a 15% off coupon. So that didn't line up with a royal room. They were only showing standard view with 5th sleeper non- blind for my dates.

That is an insane deal. Congrats!

I got Coronado Springs for $243 a night and the same room was $449 on Disney's site and that was with Passholder or FL Resident discount. I actually got kind-of annoyed because I don't normally check these other sites and take Disney's word for it on the price. Not anymore!

Do i need to do something special to link my Dolphin reservation in MDE? This was a PLE deal. I'm entering the confirmation number, not the PL trip number, but MDE keeps saying not found.

I suggest trying to call Dolphin and get their reservation number....then try to link that to MDE.
Just a guess...I have not dealt with them before.

You could also try to call Disney Wholesale for help....they may be able to cross reference the numbers for you

Looking for one night on Jan 3rd before our check in date. I’ve done this before years ago and got AOA for $99 a night. I’m out of practice and wondering if the experts see any deals for that date

 

[JJTNY]

There is a current drop of Priceline Express deals for Disney resorts that ends at the end of December right now, but nothing after that has appeared yet.

There are some really good non-hidden rates around $100 or even less for values in January and February, but I think they are Mon-Wed dates - but in general those are following Disney's own discount so one might be able to get close in price over there and cut out the middle man.

But, since your date is a Friday it is going to be a harder sell, I can only suggest you keep checking and cross all the fingers.

I'm totally stumped on this one. Does anyone have any ideas?

Bonnet Creek, 5 stars, 9+ and 40s reviews. I included some room choices, there's a ton of different ones, many with full kitchen in the description. Riveria? Does Disney have any 5 star hotels?

Edit: I see my mistake, it's a bait and switch. First screen says Bonnet Creek. When I click on it, it changes zone to lake Buena Vista. Be careful guys!!!

Yes, that is a completely scammy tactic!
If I've filtered down to a specific area, don't show me other area deals!
I only just noticed they do that myself last year after I spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out what was happening.

Checking deals in February. Pretty positive the first is AKL. A little confused on the second option. The price doesn’t match for ASMu or ASM. Per the resort finder, those are the only two options.
