Congrats! Was it still the same brief group of amenities as in the past?

This long list of amenities (including indoor pool!) is totally different than descriptions in the past.

This is great! I need a good AS deal for April 17-18. I wasn’t sure if it was too early, but sounds like they might pop up soon. I’ve never done a PL express deal before

Could that be claimed as false advertising?

To do what? Get a hotel you know doesn't have an indoor pool to give you a discount for not having an indoor pool?

I honestly don’t know, but having an indoor pool listed is REALLY strange IMO.
I think they could get away with a microwave due to food court.

Some may not know that there's no indoor pool. Being untruthful to mislead a customer is wrong.

Agree. In this case, I’m happy to get a Disney resort as that’s my target, but I’ve stayed at hotels before with an indoor pool being the main reason I booked.

As someone who has probably spent WAY too much time on messing about with Priceline and Hotwire - I personally ignore the amenities list and just compare ratings, review counts, location, maybe resort fees in a pinch for non-Disney resorts.

I used to have an Amenity tracker spreadsheet to help see which resort was which - but most of those amenities are now incorrect (airport shuttle), are exactly the same across multiple resorts, and get changed around at Priceline's whim. (Beachside and Free Dining used to appear on Yacht Club at intervals!) So, I just stopped looking at them.

FWIW: I wrote up a new blog post for Touring Plans today that goes over simple tactics. Don't want to be self-serving and link here, but is easily findable for those who might be interested and may help people newer to searching or are out of practice after 2 years of down time.

You’re not self-serving but you have certainly served me well by teaching me how to score these great deals for so many years, so I’m linking Great post btw!

What is the 5 percent code?

 

[BridgetBordeaux]

What is the 5 percent code?

If you have registered with PL.....and you do a search for a date in a city for a hotel....and don't book anything....they usually send you a 5 percent off code that arrives within a day or so and can only be redeemed for an Express Deal within a couple of days.

Thank you for all you do! I've saved quite a bit of money thanks to you

Anyone happen to have a 5% PL code they’re not using? The Retailmenot code would not work.

Hey y'all, tried searching the thread, but the only replies I came up with were a couple years old at this point so I'll ask now. If I book for 2 guests via Priceline, but want to add a 3rd adult later on, would I be able to adjust the reservation via MDE myself?

I tried this last year with a 1 night stay, had accidentally booked for 2 and not 4. Called the next day and they could not change it. Called Disney and they said they could not change it as it was owned by Priceline at that point. Called back to Priceline and they said they had no way to change it. Didn’t affect us since the rest of our stay was booked through Disney with the correct guests at a different resort.

We have never had issue adding our 2 kids to our room. In our experience you cannot do it via MDE, you have to call the Disney Wholesale number 407-939-7671 to add the additional people.
