Priceline Express Deals

[Mle8308]

Looking at 3/26-3/29. Saw a blind deal on Hotwire for a 4 star at $244 per night. I think it may be World Center Marriott but was hoping that it was a WDW resort. (I saw some on there previously but at rates higher than booking direct through Disney, but they’ve disappeared today so was hoping it was a lingering WDW resort.)

No number of reviews given but gives these amenities:

Amenities​

Free internet
Business center
Fitness center
Resort
Restaurant(s)
Self-service laundry
Smoke-free rooms
Tennis nearby

Any thoughts?

The part about "tennis nearby" would make me think it is not Disney. I think the only resort at Disney with tennis is the CR??? I doubt it's the CR and I don't see any of the other MK resorts as being on Priceline for $244. World Center makes more sense, because of the fitness center and business center.

Yes CR has one.

OKW and SSR have one. BW had one but I think it was converted to pickle ball?

Not quite PL related, but is there something going on the first week in February that I’m unaware of? The Disney direct site only shows 2 deluxe suites available and all other rooms on property sold out? Likewise, not much on PL or HW. Wondering if this is a glitch on the site(s) or if there is something big going on that I’m missing. I was specifically targeting PL and HW for those dates bc I thought it would be slower and could grab some deals.

When’s the optimal time to look at Express deals, for 5/28-5/29? We have a Cars family suite booked starting the 29th, but have decided to fly in a day early. Thank you!!

And does anyone know what this may be?

Does Hotwire even have Disney resorts?

I believe that’s the Wyndham Grand Resort Bonnet Creek.

They have in the past but it’s been slim pickings the last few months at least. I see a few here and there but nothing priced better than booking direct.

Weirdly Disney resorts will completely disappear from their system for months at a time.
Once in while they come back - but there haven't been any hidden deals for Disney resorts at HW for years.
The last HW deal post I wrote for TP was August, 2021. Crazy.

I did use Hotwire hidden deals twice in 2021 for Disney Resorts. One for Pop in February during President's week ($118) booked the week before, and Coronado that June ($197). The latter I don't think was a deal, but IIRC it was better than what was offered directly and we just needed a 1 night for that specific resort since our room already had 4 people.

Both were blind bookings. I just went back into my account to see. I remember thinking Pop was a decent deal at the time, although I'm not sure if it really was. (It must have been worth it though because I would have done it directly.

I haven't seen anything since though I don't think.

Whoops, fat finger typo on my part! I wrote my last HW post in August, 2021. Just corrected my reply above.

Either way, it's been a long while!!

Literally no rhyme or reason for when PLE deals are released. Just keep checking. Could be 6 months, could be 6 days.

Good morning,

This is sort-of Priceline adjacent.... but I'm hoping someone on here will know the answer. We are planning a trip for the first week of December 2025. I have set-up a DVC rental at OKW for 11/29/25-12/06/25. We are planning to fly in on 11/28/25, Black Friday. I was planning on doing a Priceline Express deal for one night on 11/28. If I do a different Disney resort that day (more than likely Allstars), would that impact our free use of a water park on 11/29? If the weather is good, that's how we plan to use that Saturday. I wasn't sure if you do a split-stay, if you would get that benefit on BOTH of your first days at the resort.

Also, does anyone have recommendations on which non-Disney resort they would aim for with a Priceline deal in this circumstance?

Thanks!

FWIW I have a split stay booked for April and MDE is showing the water park benefit for both arrival days. Both reservations were booked directly with Disney. Hopefully someone else will chime in about this because it seems odd that they'd apply the benefit to both stays.

Each reservation is it's own little "island".

Not a surprise at all that it is handled this way.

Remember.....with a split stay involving different resorts you could be "homeless" from about 11am to about 3pm.

Technically even if you have 2 back to back reservations at the same resort in the same class of room......they can move you if they need to.....making you "homeless" in that case as well.

 

[SL6827]

I have 2 back to back reservations at the same resort, but with different view category. So I will be homeless for a bit that day. But planning to be at TL during then, so it's all good.

 

[SL6827]

I just wonder if they were to upgrade me to a water view room the first three nights, if that would make it appear to be just a continuous reservation with the fourth night? When in fact it's not.

No....even if given an upgrade....the system is such that you will always have 2 distinct reservations....a 3 day ressie and then a 1 day ressie

Each of the reservation numbers will be maintained.

Think I may have found Coronado for 3/26 to 3/29. I’m not 100% on it though. The double beds are throwing me. What does everyone think?
