Third time we used alpharooms thru the site here and saved 600 over the others to include expedia, orbitz, and bookit. Hope this helps. Oh yeah it also gave us the ocean view room. I was lucky enough to get in on the last alpharoom screw up. That was a once in a lifetime price.
Typically, prices are lowest Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Prices go up rest of the week. Don't ask me why, but I think it has something to do with more people thinking about and booking their vacations later in the week, whereas earlier on they're consumed with the toils of everyday life.
Can't believe all of the quick responses.....thanks again, a lot of good advice. Appears many of you will be there around the same time as us....we look forward to meeting you! We will have many more questions as we get closer and we will be watching the threads for information from Steve and many if you who have been there a lot.....seems like a great group of fun people.....
