Priceline Express Deals

Think I may have found Coronado for 3/26 to 3/29. I’m not 100% on it though. The double beds are throwing me. What does everyone think?

i think Coronado is a 3.5?

I agree with @Leigh L , Coronado Springs is a 3.5 star on Priceline. Also, Priceline shows it with a $318 price before discount, not $203. I think you are looking at All-Star Sports. (I think Pop Century would have a higher before-discount price.) All-Star Sports used to have double beds.

When I punch in these dates I see All Star Sports.

I know this because the hint they give me.

This is still pretty good news and I appreciate you giving us a heads up about recent possible Disney activity.

I agree with the previous guesses on that room - Sports seems likely.

Just want to point out in the current Feb deals we've seen, Priceline is using bogus crossed-out "full price" amounts on at least some hidden deals, making things more confusing than they should be. There were some hidden deals that seemed to be Movies, for example - but the non-hidden deal price was nothing like the crossed out price on the Express Deal.

Still, the location, review counts, guest and star ratings are still usually enough for identification. Also: the only 3-star resorts in Bonnet Creek continue to be the All-Stars, Pop and AoA, so any 3* in BC = Disney.

Thanks all! I got a little too excited. $157/night is the rate Disney is charging for Sports for that time frame (I believe it’s the 25% off promotion). But glad that there’s some activity. Fingers crossed for more to come!

Hey guys, we ran into issues booking a DVC rental for the week in December we originally planned on going... so we are pivoting to an earlier trip in September. Do you guys remember if there were Disney resorts listed in mid September last year? Depending on what we end up with, I will try to book a couple rooms through an Express deal for 1-3 days to attach to our DVC stay. Any recommendations on somewhere to target if there are no Disney resorts available?

Last September saw some Priceline Express deals drop for October through December but no real deals for September itself that I recall.

Even in before times when hidden deals were more aplenty, you can't really count on them appearing at any known interval, you just have to keep your eye open for when they do drop.

FWIW: I have a search engine that lets you search all of the more bigger DVC rental sites that have dedicated DVC rentals listed - and a nice batch of September rentals have already started appearing.

Looking at my results just now, there have already been 392 dedicated rentals listed on the various sites for Sept 2025 and 111 of those were at least 20% below the median price for their room type (based on all rentals I've recorded for that room over the last 3+ years.) 12 of those rentals were 30% or more below median.

If this year is like years past, we'll continue to see more nice September dedicated DVC rentals, so might be worth watching.

This is interesting, given that it lists a "microwave," but Sports does not have microwaves. Is this pretty normal for the amenities to be incorrect?

Awesome, thank you! I’ll keep my eyes open.

Yes.....there can be some inaccurate details listed.

We discussed this back in the fall.....scroll back and read some of the discussion.

Go by the other data......review rating number....number of reviews.....neighborhood

Add that to our discussions and folks like me that get a "hint" and you can very pretty sure what you will get...but of course any of us could be burned if something changes.

Super helpful, thank you!

I see a deal on what seems to be both the Dolphin and the Swan--based on guest reviews/ratings/parking fee. What I'm trying to figure out though is that under Room Options it lists "One Single Bed". Is this just a quirkiness of the system? I was unaware of any beds other than Queen/King/Double.

It's weird because it's cheaper by about $30 than picking other options. Would be a great price though

You’ll prob get better help from the experts here if you include your dates and details. This way they can see the listing and know better

I am seeing this too, looking at March 23-24, the single bed has me scratching my head. EDIT TO ADD: I went ahead and booked and it is indeed the Dolphin, I chose the One Single Bed option because it was the cheapest. Since they only have 1 king or 2 queen rooms I'm not worried, I'll take either. Now, I just need March 24-25 to open up!

Just wanted to clarify in case it will be an issue- Dolphin doesn’t have queen beds. It has double beds in the rooms that aren’t Kings. (I don’t understand why hotels do this.) But just wanted to give you the heads up just in case

Thanks! It's just me and my daughter, we'll be fine either way!
