Priceline Express Deals

[ClapYourHands]

When you go to hotwire hot deals and you go to book a hot deal it says "hurry, the last person got Art of Animation" is that what hotel you will get?

Not necessarily. Often it is, but I have seen opaque listings that are definitely not the same hotel as “the last person got.”

Hi! I'm trying to save some pennies for our trip in April.
Found two Hot Rate Deals -
Bonnet Creek area.
Airport Shuttle.
Not showing any resort fees at check out.

April 27-30

$95 per night
$94 per night

Any idea if they're "guaranteed" on property hotels?
I'm cool with any of the values, would be even cooler with a moderate but at < $100 a night, I'm doubtful, lol.
Thank you so much!

Because they are 3 star hotels that show full beds as the only option, I believe they are All Star Sports and All Star Music.

All Star Movies is fully renovated and now has a queen and a full. However, I’m not 100% if Hotwire has reflected this change yet or not. Someone with more expertise than me may be able to chime in and correct me.

I pulled up your dates - if it's the one that's rated 4.0/5, that's very likely one of the All Stars. They are quoting a 70% discount but it looks to be off the rate of the suites, but you are most likely getting a regular room.

I see two 3* hotels for those dates when I look, one for $94 and one for $93. My guess is the less expensive one is All Star Sports and the other is All Star Music.

I'm more than okay with an All Star, just want to be sure enough that it's a Disney resort.
Thank you guys so much!

I’m still looking for a value or a mod (for a good price) for our April dates (22-26)... I am just not feeling lucky for this trip! Waaaahhhhh lol

I was bored so I searched your date. That's an expensive weekend. I would have a good offsite backup booked.

For your dates I think I see CSR for $229/night and AoA for $365. Slim pickings for sure! ☹

Things have been dry lately. I had a Jan trip, and have Feb, Mar, and May upcoming and have not found anything that beats my AP rates for any of them and I check multiple times a day. I did see good pricing on Swolphin for May, but I really want to keep YC for that particular trip.
I have pop at $209 on ap rate (ouch!) for next week, akl on a cm rate for march (way more $ than last march), and ap rate at YC in may. I will keep checking but am losing hope. The resorts are just so full these days.

I agree. I booked ASMu for May at $106 last month on an opaque HW deal. With taxes and fees, it came to closer to $120/nt, but still saved me about $100 over Disney's prices overall, even accounting for the Fun in Sun discount (or whatever the new one is called). I second-guessed myself over locking in a non-refundable deal for a while, thinking I'd see some major discounts as we got closer, but so far, my dates are only getting more expensive on HW and there's nothing on PL. The cost of the Value resorts is really creeping up. I think it's getting near the break-even point for staying offsite, renting a car, and paying for parking. If I lived a reasonable driving distance with my own car, I'd be offsite.

Yep, we have a great deal at an offsite air bnb... but I’m dreading being outside the bubble!

They really are! Im already searching for June dates if we end up going! May skip and just do our normal September trip with free dining. Disney-ing is hard sometimes!! Lol

How far in advance do you all typically see decent opaque deals drop, specifically for Disney resorts or the Swolphin? We're starting to price out a moms trip in late October but I'm guessing it's a little early.

This is exactly where I am at for this April trip. It’s just myself and some girlfriends... if we stay offsite, rent a car and pay for parking we are still just a bit under the price if we can get a value for $120 or less per night. But PL has nothing... I did have an all star music suite (I believe? Maybe a standard?) pop up for our first night at $119 on HW... but I let it go bc it would just be a headache to move from there to offsite on our first park day... sigh...

For the first day of a trip, I like to be on-site to get DME. You might be able to pick up a rental from the car care center and save a little on rental and parking. Day 2 would be free parking in the parks because it would be your departure day from the Disney hotel.

Last trip there was nothing on-site, so I snagged AS Sports for the first night to get me there, and a DS hotel for the rest. Figured the $10 Uber to move my suitcase was better than the cost all the way from MCO.

Thanks, I didn’t even think about the parking the next day!! I may start looking for my first day again!

Hotwire has opaque deals out through the end of the year, but the killer deals (40%+) are usually < 2 months out. You also have to remember with the far out deals that Disney will keep releasing discounts, so the opaque deal of 30% for October may really only garner 10% once discounts are released

Can someone help me with Hotel Canary? When I try it on Priceline it says loading hotels, but it never actually loads any possible hotels. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm trying to find a hotel for one night anytime in February.

several people on this thread have made the same comment over the last couple of months. It would seem that it is not currently working.
