WDW bread roundup: https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/disney-eats-where-to-find-the-best-bread-service-at-walt-disney-world/

NOW THAT IS A LINK WORTH SAVING . :) disney doesnt play when it comes to bread :D

53 min ago by Totsypooh

We noticed that so many places have stopped serving bread! Anything not 2 credits and bread is basically just not happening. And the bread that does happen has changed to smaller portions and/or generally isn't as good as it used to be. Sad

You pay for the bread at many non-chain restaurants everywhere these days, so it's not like Disney invented the wheel there.

Hello Friends! I'm back in the World after 8.5 years of enjoying Liners' trips vicariously. I couldn't quite believe this trip was happening until the plane touched down in Orlando today. Just wanted to say I'm thinking of all of you and thanks!

7:37pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

Their lowest tier of service is a ridonculous $100/month - AND it does not even include the number of records I need to host the active listings along with the previous year's past listings for comparison. The next tier up is $300 and they should be..

7:43pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

..ashamed of themselves. With work projects (stoopid EPA reporting) and home stuff I haven't had time to build anything new I like. and I've tried a few things I do have one plan for a new combo of software to use.

7:44pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

**BUT - I wanted to say that @len and TouringPlans have graciously offered to pay the the hosting for a few months to keep it going.**

7:44pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

Hopefully I can get both my ducks in a row and cover my bases (probably with ducks) so I can jump over to a new site.

7:44pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

So, not sure how many people looked at past year's listings for comparison, but until I get ported over to something new the search engine will only be hosting active listings. I continue to archive all of my data, so will be able to pick back up later.

7:50pm on 9/29/25 by JJT (staff)

That is WONDERFUL news, JJT!!! You are doing all of us such a service, and I appreciate you SO much. And Len and TP have always been supportive and generous to Liners. I love this. Thank you, JJT, Len, and Touring Plans!!!!

Wow. That's great. Personally I never look at the past rentals. I just want to see the active to see if there's anything to match. Past does me no good for booking, lol. I've booked 3 rentals from your info so thanks to both of you.

Nothing exciting this morning, but some weirdness: both of those May OKW studios that first appeared late yesterday have increased this morning by $30/night. Have seen that at least a few times now, not sure what evil magic they are conjuring there.

3:15pm on 9/30/25 by JJT (staff)

That Riv GV is a very rare room type to see on dedicateds - only 14 since 2023. All but 4 were 4-nights or shorter, this is only listing more than 8-nights recorded. The next nearest listing to this in price was about $280/night more back in Dec 2023.

3:16pm on 9/30/25 by JJT (staff)

This OKW Studio is a very nice price - be aware that the ones that appeared a bit above this price yesterday jumped up by $30 overnight! 4-night OKW Studio 01/04 for $210/night or 26% under https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/old-key-west-457994

3:17pm on 9/30/25 by JJT (staff)

10 nights at Riv Grand Villa? So cool but that's approx $17,000! Wowza. Wonder who can leap on that last minute? I feel like they'd have a better shot of offloading it by breaking that down into fewer nights.

@RDRyan That 5-night Boardwalk for $1,400 translates to $280/night and is a very nice deal! When comparing to all listings 2-nights or longer it is about 26% under median price for August. When comparing to just listings 5-nights or longer it looks...

Thanks JJT for all of your hard work!!

3:55pm on 10/11/25 by 4wvufans

@4wv :) @RDRyan Once in awhile cc categories comes up but I don't recall any definitive reports back. AwardWallet has a merchant category lookup - it absolutely not a definitive answer since sometimes companies show up multiple times and may have...

9:41am on 10/13/25 by JJT (staff)

..different category results depending on some sort of subsidiary structure. But, FWIW DVC Rental store shows up multiple times as either travel, hotels or TIMESHARES. I suspect the rental side would end up travel, but we'd need reports to verify.

For the Sept OKW studio: IMHO any price around here or lower, especially for a longer stay is a win. But, for OKW studios in Sept, very likely we'll see multiple similar listings as we get closer to Sept, so I wouldn't jump on this this far out unless...

Also note: one site (*cough* DVCShop *cough*) lurvs to list distant rooms at good price then NEXT DAY increase them by $20-$50/night, so I suspect that could happen to these. Kinda far out to book Sept & there will be more deals for sure, but good to know

3:28pm on 10/19/25 by JJT (staff)

Wanted to add: I added more analysis on these BC & Poly Sept listings in forum with charts. TL;DR: I'd consider the BC especially grabbable even now since there will not likely be many lower prices and that resort books quickly. The Poly: I'd wait...

3:46pm on 10/19/25 by JJT (staff)

..for better deals closer in - unless I needed these exact dates. :)

BOTH of those are winners - for each resort there have only been about 4 other 4-night or longer studios in May at this price or lower.

8:54pm on 10/19/25 by JJT (staff)

Price Drop: This is at the bottom of the price scale for an Aulani 2BR looking at all listings 2-nights or longer. Looking at >=6-nights, there have only been 2 lower priced listings since 2023.

That is also a terrific price for GF - BUT, you can almost certainly expect to see more SEP listings at or below this price as we get closer to that month:

8:39pm on 10/21/25 by JoeyPotter98

3 months??!! Talk about working from "home*. Who the heck has that many points?

6:03am on 10/22/25 by cdlla

That's really expensive! $385.54 a night at OKW!

6:51am on 10/22/25 by IMarriedMyEllie

Exactly! For a studio too. And if you look at what the points are for August/September it's just ridiculous to imagine.

7:03am on 10/22/25 by youcanfly

Our local CT timeshare was selling villas for 3 months at a time. It did not sell well at all. Wondering if you owned here could you exchange into Disney and they would allow it?

10:55am on 10/22/25 by Magicalday2011

I only post the good stuff here - there are always MANY dedicated listings with completely ridiculous pricing. That crazy 87-nighter above has to be a fat finger date typo, I'd assume, can't book that many days on a single res? But, made me laugh.

This Aulani 2BR just ain't moving, along with a few other Nov Aulani listings that have less dramatic discounts (so far.) 6-night Aulani 2 Bedroom 11/06 orig $1,319/night now $573/n or 61% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10045663

11:03am on 10/24/25 by JJT (staff)

That is not a high volume room, but is easily the lowest priced listing recorded for it except for a single random 1-nighter.

11:03am on 10/24/25 by JJT (staff)

Another new Aulani, this one is Ocean View in Jan: 8-night Aulani 1 Bedroom 01/09 for $828/night or 20% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/aulani-hawaii-463665

5:10pm on 10/24/25 by JJT (staff)

BTW: Aulani 1BR is another low volume room, especially in Jan. While this listing is 20% under median vs all dates, it is right at median for Jan. BUT: there have only been 3 listings lower, all about 4-nights AND none were Ocean View.

5:15pm on 10/24/25 by JJT (staff)

There have been several much lower priced May listings for that room last year & 2023. But, in reality this is a fairly low-volume room in dedicated rentals, so, while I'd assume we'll see at least a few more as we get closer to May, I would not bet...

11:00am on 10/31/25 by JJT (staff)

..on it if I needed 3-nights and wanted this room. 18% under median is a pretty nice price. If you look up Direct from Disney room rates for this room type that week (no room only discounts right now), it is going for $1,011/night!

11:00am on 10/31/25 by JJT (staff)

5-night Riviera Studio 08/30 for $395/night or 19% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/riviera-resort-465525

10:38am on 11/1/25 by JJT (staff)

Like the one last night, while we might see some more Riviera listings for end of Aug into Sept at this price point, I would not bet on it. If looking for a 5-night in this time frame I would jump on this steer like John Travolta in a bad 80's movie.

4:00pm on 11/1/25 by JJT (staff)

If you can get there reasonably, $744/night, even if the 2nd 2BR is a lockoff is an absolute steal, forget about SIX NIGHTS. Even $930 is stealy. FYI: If you only look at listings 3-nights or longer, EVERY dot below $1,300 on this chart goes away,...

4:01pm on 11/1/25 by JJT (staff)

When looking at 2-nights or longer for this room in January, past data makes one expect some more listings at this price point as we get closer to January, but when looking at 4-nights or longer very rare to see for this month between now & then!

Also: these are now pretty OK prices for BC any time, but in January they are more like 9% under median. But, in reality: anything lower in January is mostly rando - the under listings at BC tend to stay in tight with the median line.

11:28am on 11/5/25 by JJT (staff)

Above is another case where the December-specific median for a room is higher than the overall one my system uses for comparison. So the 18% under median above undersells the goodness of that OKW price: it is really more like 28% under.

While certainly not a "cheap" room and while there have been lower prices listed for it, not in this time frame. Also, as an OCEAN View and a long booking, that is IMHO a very terrific price if you are looking for an Aulani trip in January.

Interestingly for the month of Sept specifically, this CC is really just under median. But, while we've seen a number of lower prices they were mostly 2 years ago & only a few 6-nighters. My overall take: pretty darn good for the location and length!

Thanks @JJT. Gonna need to pickup some SW gift cards. I've got a bunch of credits. Why does it go back as non expiring? Just cuz it's a refundable fare?

7:20pm on 11/12/25 by MarioMom

Can't really tell why, but the magic seems to be contained in attaching the gift card to the transaction in combo with the refundable fare. I should have also mentioned above is it isn't clear: if I were working this tactic, I'd buy the smallest...

8:31pm on 11/12/25 by JJT (staff)

..SW gift card possible ($25?), then use a credit card as the 3rd payment method along with the travel credit that I was trying to convert. The SW GC value will get added to the travel credit & anything charged on the CC will get refunded to it.

8:35pm on 11/12/25 by JJT (staff)

Called to adjust a flight to a lower fare and ended up getting back credits that would exp in March. I told the rep I wouldn't be able to use them in time. He told me I could call once they expire and get an extension on the exp date. Will try in March.

1:59am on 11/13/25 by PixiePoppins

@Pixie To be honest, I thing that SW rep was overselling the possibility or extending credit expiration. I have heard of zero instances of that happening.

10:09am on 11/13/25 by JJT (staff)

I apologize if this was covered before, but if I book a basic fare with points and later the fare is reduced, can I cancel original flight and rebook for the reduced points, and have the excess points be non-expiring? I assume I can't modify basic rate?

9:06am on 11/14/25 by WDWchipndale

Points bookings are still a great option: the points just go back into your account regardless of fare and they are never expiring. So, cancel rebook is the way to go with them!

I have a bunch of credits that I can use this on. Just to make sure I'm correct here: I buy a $25 SW GC and purchase a Choice Preferred flight using my expiring credit, GC, and credit card. I then immediately cancel and my credits go back as

8:50am by vickiwaffles

nonexpiring, the $25 goes back to the GC, and whatever I paid on the credit card goes back to that as well. I can then keep doing this repeatedly to convert all my expiring credit. Does this sound right?

8:53am by vickiwaffles

No, different, read back from above: from reports, the $25 GC comes back as part of the non-expiring credit along with the previously expiring travel credit. So, if you have a lot of credits, will take a few rounds of GCs since you can only use up to..

10:15am by JJT (staff)

..3 forms of payment. I believe could be possible to use GC & 2 travel credits instead of the GC/travel credit/CC combo & it might work, but reports I saw used the format I listed above. So, you'd have to test that if you want to minimize buying GCs.

10:18am by JJT (staff)

Ok I think I understand better now. Thank you. Another question... I have 3 credits that expire on 12/25 and 1 that expires on 2/6. Would I be better off first trying to buy a couple flights just using credits so they combine and then buy a flight using

@vicki Yes, it is my understanding that you can still book flights with travel credits and when you cancel they all come back combined into 1. But, important to know that they will come back with the expiration of the flight credit that had the earliest..

Generally yes. Sometimes they'll make it a larger portion at a higher price.

Yes but you still be charged the adult price

4:33pm on 11/21/25 by WorldTraveler34

Our experience was that tween kids could order the kids menu at kids prices at non prix fixe/buffet/family style locations. Correct on adult prices at prix fixe

6:08pm on 11/21/25 by kcaseybooks

Yes, even as an adult I've sometimes been able to do that. Most recently at Ale and Compass breakfast. I will tip higher to compensate for my check being less.

I order kids meals all the time. Obviously not able to do at a price fixe or buffet but in a place with menus constantly.

My mom was told no twice. Once at WCC and once at Coral Reef.

11:47am by popupcamper

Just be clear that they are charging you the kids meal price. I once ordered a kids meal for DD 11 (entree and 2 sides) and it got rang up as 3 separate sides which was more than a kids meal. And she didnt even want the sides. Hmph.

1:00pm by Totsypooh

I'll say it seems to be at server's discretion, so more likely to get charged less if you interact nicely with CMs.

I promise @totsy wasn't a jerk to the CM. She's absolutely lovely.

I think leaving that to server discretion isn't a great idea anyhow. Puts the CMs in an unpleasant spot.

4:07pm by utang44

Agreed!

4:08pm by Ali Ababwa

If ordering off the kid's menu is a problem, sharing an adult entree, and adding an appetizer if you think you need a little more food, always works.
