Priceline Express Deals

Are the resort fees listed separate as "resort fees" or are they grouped in under 'taxes and fees' on the billing estimate?

I'm looking at 3.5 star for 2/14-2/18 and Coronado Springs is one of the three options Canary is telling me it might be.
It's Bonnet Creek with free internet, a pool and restaurant as the only amenities.

We're close to booking, but I was hoping someone could help. Our possible dates are Sept. 13 - 25th. We'd be thrilled to get Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs. I'm seeing a 3.5 star level hotel for $92. Only amenities are free internet, swimming pool and restaurant. It has an 8 rating, and 300 verified users. Is there much chance that this is a non-Disney hotel? Thanks so much for any assistance.

I'm not sure, but I just booked Caribbean Beach and the taxes and fees worked out to just under $20 a night (price was $88 per night). Some offsite resort fees are $25-$35 per night plus taxes.

Can anyone help? Do you think this is Animal Kingdom Lodge? I panic when it's time to hit the book button.

I just looked this up -- look closely, it says "bed choice available." The Disney resorts don't have an option for bed choice.

However, there appears to be a Disney resort available for $229/night (originally $504/night) on your dates of 1/10-1/13. I think it might be Wilderness Lodge.

As of today, I'm seeing what appear to be Disney resort Priceline Express deals all the way through September. Interesting, since they're usually only available a month or two out. (And tempting!)

My guess is Coronado Springs.

On the Priceline Express deal page, it says someone just booked this hotel for $229. If you book a standard room at Coronado directly through Disney for your dates, it's $229/night.

Thank you so much!! Now decide to actually book or not....... It's such a good deal, but I'd be so disappointed if we get an offsite hotel. Eek!

Not to make the decision more nerve-wracking, BUT if you were thinking about deluxe at all, I'm pretty sure I'm seeing all of these deals pop up for your dates: Boardwalk Inn for $189, Beach Club for $222, Grand Floridian for $242

Wow, really? For some reason I'm not seeing any of those!! Are they all in Bonnet Creek? I'm only seeing 4 express deals in total, in Bonnet Creek, 3 or 4 stars. I'd LOVE to stay at BWI, since it's one of the only Disney hotels we haven't tried yet. Are you checking the website or app?

I just booked Caribbean Beach and it offered bed choices. That's why I hesitated. It offered queen, King and Doubles. the Doubles were the most expensive option and it tipped me off that it could be the Pirate rooms. I'm not sure if this is common or not, but thankfully for me it was CBR, so now I can Relax.

I am on the website on my laptop. I am using the trick described somewhere earlier in this thread to see "extra" results.

So, click the one 4-star Express Deal in Bonnet Creek that initially comes up for your dates. It is listed for $96. This one is NOT a Disney resort.

But when you go back to the tab with all the original Bonnet Creek results, you should now see a few additional 4-star options appear in smaller boxes underneath the original 4-star option. There will be a message next to them that says: "People who viewed 4-Star hotels in Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek also viewed these." My best guess is the $189 one that shows up there is BWI.

Good luck! Let us know your results if you book something!

Ohhh good to know! Usually bed options mean it's not Disney. But I guess things are always changing. Glad it worked out!!

You're my new best friend! I'm trying it now, to see if I can see all the results. My dh is on his laptop too!

Thanks for your help! I'm able to see the additional offers, but not the specific hotels/prices you listed. I'm thinking that BWI and Beach Club aren't there? All the prices I'm seeing with the trick you mentioned are between $200 and $400. Nerve-wracking! lol

I'm looking for 1/28-2/2 -- are you seeing any other disney resorts besides Sport, Coronado, POR, and AKL?

I also am thinking of doing a split stay to check out different resorts. POR came up for 1/28-1/31 only and not for the entire week. I'm curious to know if there are any resorts I'm missing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!! We noticed that if we continued to click on the 4* hotel, different 'new' hotel offers appeared. After refreshing a few times, the $189 offer appeared. Dh decided to book it before I chickened out and we got the Boardwalk Inn!!!!!!!!!!!!! This NEVER would have happened if it weren't for your help. I didn't know the trick about finding new offers. We couldn't be happier. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!!

For the full stay:
Pretty sure it's Coronado for $79, and there's another one that's most likely a Disney mod for $85/night but I can't pinpoint which one it is.

Will get back to you about what I can find by splitting dates!

Holy moly. Of course DD19 ends her DCP early August.
