Priceline for Orlando?

[luckey-lasvegas]

We will be arriving in October (26th PM) for MNSSHP on the 27th and then boarding the Magic on the 29th. Has anyone had any luck in priceline(ing) for a 2 1/2 or 3 star hotel in the general Orlando area?

You can get lots of info at www.betterbidding.com

I would definitely check it out and try Priceline or Hotwire

As noted, betterbidding is a great source of info on the hotels for all areas. We use Priceline a ton and have never been disappointed. The key is research and more research.

Sorry no real specifics though.

We're arriving on Saturday and staying at the Galord Palms for the third time using a Priceline bid. Got it for $105 (it's a resort), but rack rate is $199-$269 and this place is GORGEOUS. I'm talking indoor themed areas (including a ship, a swamp and an alligator sanctuary all under glass so there's plenty to do even in the rain), marble walk-in showers, robes, refrigerators and balconies... heaven! We've gotten it as low as $83 before, but it's high season right now...

We got the Marriott close to the airport last December for $40. I believe it's a 3 star. It was nice. It's more business travel than Disney. The rooms are large and it has a really nice indoor/outdoor pool. I can't remember but I think the website that I looked at was bidfortravel. It gives a list of the price people have gotten for hotels in Orlando using priceline.
