On these threads someone mentioned skyauction. I went there and was shocked at how low someof the houses and condos in Orlando were going for.

We have stayed at Vistana for years compliments of my in-laws nad would love to stay there. It looks like I could bid and be there for about $300 -400 for the week ina 3 bedroom.

I also saw the Rosen Plaza hotel with rooms that would end up being about $50 a night. On their website it would be $125 for the same time frame.

Please let me know your experience with Skyauction or Rosen Plaza.

Thanks! Nancy

the per night auctions are not as good...if you read the fine print they have a nightly service charge on top of your bid....so if you won the bid at 55$ , it would actually cost you approximately 87$ per night .....to the total night cost you would then have to add 15$ service charge ( they also have 20$ a night seasonal charges june 1 - july 31 ) which would then add to the final cost ...eg 55$ + 32$ + 20$ x number of nigths up to 7 + processing fee )

ready set go seems to be the best value since you are bidding on a week but with service charge and processing fee you actually start out at 210$ then whatever your bid is.....say 40$ total would be 250$

vistana used to show up there quite often....today only see 6 ....but three of those have airfare component

there is one there for 2 bedroom now .....bid of 105$ closes in one hour......if that bid held it would be 325$ total for a week in a two bedrooms but dates are for

most auctions are for 1 or 2 bedrooms, the 3 bedrooms do appear but not as often
