Priceline Express Deals

[JJTNY]

The way things seem to be going, I REALLY expected a July and August room drop by now.
Priceline never fails to not do what I expect.

FWIW:

Anyone thinking about booking those June Sports Priceline Express deals, there are a couple of codes out there through Rakuten right now to get either an additional 5% or 10% off Express Deals.

(Note: there is also a $316 AK Lodge Savannah View Express deal in June, the ONLY day I could get it to appear was starting on June 11 and searching for 2 days.)

* You have to Click through from the Rakuten Priceline page for the codes to work
* You HAVE TO manually add the code in checkout (after the click through above)
* You have to be signed in to PL to even add the code

The 5% off code is: RMN7HT524
10% off is: SUMMER10

I believe at least one of those, if not both expire on 5/31 so you have to book soon.
REMEMBER EXPRESS DEALS ARE NON REFUNDABLE.

Comparison: On a day in June where Sports is $92, using the 10% off code gets you the room net $107.87 after all taxes and fees.
Disney's price for the same day using their current discount would cost $173.66.

Replying to my own post.

It is now May 20th and I want to report that there are still AS Sports rooms available via PL Express Deals for June 2-8 and 23-29.

They also have regular (9 percent off) rooms and that tells me that Disney is still trying to fill rooms and we are just a few weeks away from the arrival dates.

In a way I feel this is kind of crazy!

I think it seems kinda crazy too!
I’m guessing on-site bookings are looking soft? If so, they may do the ‘ole “take rooms out of inventory” trick to make bookings look stronger.

I'm on Priceline right now and see a box to the left that says something along the lines of "Call our agents to see if you could save 20% or more by talking to us vs. booking online". Has anyone done this and saved more money?

Has anyone booked a package through Priceline for hotel and airfare? I was poking around Priceline yesterday and it appeared the rooms are greatly discounted if you do this. I’m going to sit down Sunday and do some Disney math

Hi, I have booked this before but not for Disney. I've tried, in fact, to do it but never found a deal when I was going to Orlando. (My successful hotel+airfare was Detroit to Nuremberg, Germany, btw, which is a very expensive flight with little competition so no reason for discounts... but Priceline came through with a deal that made the hotel basically free.)
