JANUARY is the new SEPTEMBER - that month is starting to fill in with interesting things. If you are waiting for lower priced Grand Californian dedicated studio rentals, good luck, because there have only been a few lower than these:

@GoHeels After 4 years of gathering data, I don't think there's a truly definitive "check 138 days before the date you want" kind of rule. Various resorts have different release profiles - some see a lot of new listings all at once at 11 & 7 months,...
11:01am on 4/13/25 by
JJT (staff)
..others are on a kind of continuous flow. When I started I guessed that the last month or two before a date you'd start seeing lower prices, but not really, any more than other dates. If I were going to give advice, use my search engine to look at...
11:02am on 4/13/25 by
JJT (staff)
..the dates you want from last year and see when/what listings you find attractive happened and use that as a guide for when to look. Just note that while my "under median" calculations are a nice thumbnail of how good a deal is, if you are looking for...
11:04am on 4/13/25 by
JJT (staff)
..holiday or school break dates, the 10% ore more under median listings will likely be fewer and get booked quickly. Hopefully my search engine makes it easy for people to just check what' out there quickly each day and grab the good ones first. :)

After yesterday's rentalpaloooza, only 10 new rentals this morning so far. Most are around median, but there's one terrific deal - an probably has a very niche target audience because it is FOURTEEN DAYS:

JJT (staff)
11:56am on 4/18/25 by

So, this is the very bottom of price scale even looking at all rentals 2-nights or longer. Have there been 1-nighters cheaper? Sure - but not many at all. There have only been FOUR 14-night Poly Studios since 2023 - this is $3 of the lowest of those.

They have a Beach Club studio for my dates in November. It's 11% below median. $417/night. This seems pretty good. Do I go for it? It's so hard not knowing what else may come along. And of course the no cancelation policy. . .
10:24am on 4/22/25 by

I'd go for it @sivako. Traditionally BCV is hard to get in the fall during F&W.

I'm with @eva - that really is a home run in that time frame, *especially* for a 7-night rental. I dropped some charts in my forum thread and tagged you for some visuals, any questions about the charts let me know! :)

Hi @JJT. I know no one can actually answer this - but have you seen people join bookings to connect two split stays through these confirmed reservations? I've got the 1st half of the week after Thanksgiving, looking to pickup the 2nd half. Looking for BCV
12:14pm on 5/3/25 by

Since its two memberships theres no way to merge pretrip but you can put in a room ressie and also check at check in. Not guaranteed though
12:18pm on 5/3/25 by
Totsypooh
@britta I had luck once connecting two confirmed ressies at BC. Was a conversation at the front desk when I checked in. It was during a "slower" time of year, and I remember the CM telling me that it was uncommon. Worth a try, though!
12:26pm on 5/3/25 by
yetisafari
Cross reference each hotel reservation number (if they are the same room type) in your TP room requests and also go to front desk first day or day and request to stay in the same room. It's easier for housekeeping, too.
12:42pm on 5/3/25 by
