I also post same info in forum thread, but with charts, further analysis, and goofy gifs. https://forum.touringplans.com/t/dvc-you-there-now-with-bonus-content/87420/9999

Let's start off with a present for someone: If you'd like to sneak in some Christmas Grand Flo time and still beat Santa back to your house, this is a terrific price for that season!

2-night GF Studio 12/22 for $468/night or 22% under median https://dvc-rental.com/confirmed-reservation/?_resort=Grand%20Floridian%20Resort&dvc_id=DVC2217

Also - note that MOST GF rentals at this price point for December appear RIGHT AT 11 MONTHS. After that, dribs and drabs, baby, dribs and drabs. See charts in forum thread. :)

11:38am on 3/26/26 by JJT (staff)

This ain't no $255/night, but I am of 2 minds on this price: * Compared to all March historical prices: WIN * For something that starts 3 days from now: Should be dozens of dollars lower.

This is below median vs the few APRIL listings recorded previously. 2-night VB Hotel/Inn 04/06 for $372/night or 28% under median https://dvc-rental.com/confirmed-reservation/?_resort=Vero%20Beach%20Resort&dvc_id=DVC2228

12:14pm on 3/27/26 by JJT (staff)

But: is much higher and OVER median when looking at all listings on all dates, so is a personal value call if one wanted to stay there in April. (I haven't looked at direct from Disney pricing for this resort/dates at all, so not sure how it compares.)

That OKW is a great price for April - but above median for May, you make the call on this month spanning conundrum.

These are both "only" 6% under median vs all multi-nights in June & July, but 7-nighters are very rare at this price point. Last year there was one, 2024 there were 4 lower ones....

This is a HUGE price drop for an uncommon room in dedicated listings AND VERY LAST MINUTE. AND SAVANNAH VIEW. Couldn't find an open GV on the Disney site for this week to see cash rate price, but from Mousesavers has the rack rate at $4,341 samolians.

There are plenty of times of the year where you can find Aulani dedicated rentals well below this price. But, for August, this is pure win - especially for a rare-ish 6-nighter.

@utang Yep, looks like is gone! That site's annoying: when a listing is booked it replaces listing detail with text "This deal is no longer available..." at top - BUT THE TEXT IS THE SAME COLOR AS THE PAGE BACKGROUND. You can just see it if you squint. 8)

Oddly enough, there are VERY few data points for OKW 1BR villas in June - only 15 from 2024 to now. If the charts below with that data are a good indication, we will NOT be seeing any more listings for it between now and June - much less for SIX nights!

If you are good with locking in a DVC rental 11 months out, this is actually the best one might see for a Hotel/Inn room at Aulani - 13% under median is just about the low end of the standard deviation for this room:

@jjt - Do you think the price jack-ups you described are deliberate bait-and-switch?

1:30pm on 4/9/26 by Ali Ababwa

I don't think I'd go so far to say it was a bait and switch, but I can't think of a reason they would consistently do it. It is odd and inefficient. Bad data entry person? Maybe they wake up grumpy the next mornings?

10:36am on 4/13/26 by JJT (staff)

NEW: Sure, we'll probably see some lower December prices for this next room as end of the year approaches... BUT fewer than a dozen 7-nighters over 2 years were at this price or lower.

GF is still out there, but if there aren't multiple requests and at least 7 Liners driving directly to the rental site's HQ right now, I'd be surprised. ;)

4:14pm on 4/13/26 by JJT (staff)

If you are OK with booking a rental 11 months out, this is actually a great BW price for March. FWIW: Most of the 5-night or longer listings appear right now at 11 months out - with another smattering possible about 50-75 days out...

Not a high volume room in May and while there have been some much lower priced listings, they are a bit rando AND this one is Theme Park View, so I'm calling this price drop a very nice deal:

That AKL grand villa link now says "there has been a critical error on this website "

2:33pm on 4/16/26 by aliceinwonderla

@alice Ghost in the machine! :D When they remove listings completely (after booked or expired), the links get weird because it doesn't exist in their database anymore.

Is it worth going to Geo-82 if you don't drink alcohol? I didn't see any non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. It looks like such a cool spot, but maybe not worth it we don't drink.

@snow, we had arranged a pick at Pop but we're actually at Blue Tree Resort (there's a big long story :-0) I think it's near to Disney Springs but we can get an uber if the change makes it inconvenient for you.

10:43pm on 4/14/26 by TashToo

@Tash, there seem to be 2 Blue Tree resorts, one closer to Sea World and one NE of Disney Springs. They are both about 40 min from me. Do you know the address of yours?

9:43am on 4/15/26 by snowdiz

@Tash, just give me address of your resort, and I'll pick you up at 9:30.

7:15pm on 4/15/26 by snowdiz

Hi @snow we are at 12007 Cypress Run Road'Lake Buena Vista but 40 minutes is way out of your way ... we are more than happy to grab an uber and meet you all there...

Hey. I saw they brought back the free LL for completing A Pirate's Adventure at Magic Kingdom. Does anyone know if they only hand out one LL pass if it's a young child with a family. Will they give out more to the rest of the family?

I hope it's true what a fun idea!

4:48pm on 4/16/26 by Gusgus5

Do t think they'd send the small child alone into the LL line while family waits outside.

4:53pm on 4/16/26 by HOtD0G

HOtD0G, ur sarcasm is not appreciated. I simply asked a ? to get help not feel that I'm not aware of WDW takes safety.

8:32am by wheels99

@wheels, I don't think that response was sarcastic, at all. I believe it it was a response to your question. Without a doubt they would supply at least one more LL so that the child is not alone.

8:49am by PrincipalTinker

Like, @hodg I'm also thinking they'll let you all go, though I haven't done it lately. When we did this pre-Covid the LL was for the whole family. And it was fun! Definitely recommend.

9:03am by TumbleMonkeys

That was just a statement of fact. No way will WDW expect a child to ride alone. I know it's stressful, trying to plan for all eventualities, but I wouldn't think twice about it.

9:06am by Jennyhirsch

Sorry, I didn't see any sarcasm in the response either.

9:11am by trishr.

Can we please extend a little grace and not automatically assume the worst here?

9:18am by Ali Ababwa

In the past they would always ask us how many total in our party and provide it for everyone. Assuming you dont give a ridiculous number everyone should get one.

9:31am by Totsypooh

Sorry wasn't meant to be sarcastic. Was just a quick reply. Would presume they'd have a maximum no of LLs they'd give per child tho

10:31am by HOtD0G

Also you dont need a kid to do this - adults can earn the LLs too. Its super fun to see the hidden effects

10:58am by Totsypooh

Pirates Adventure is definitely fun for adults- we love it! I was not aware of the free LL though- thanks for the tip, we'll check that out in a couple weeks!

I'm interested in this! My kids are big but would still love to do it. Where did you see the news about the free LL? I don't see any mention on WDW page.

Ooh! This is kinda neat. Iremember doing this ages ago. Really like the idea of a LL reward upon completion. Would probably be waiting at least 20 min for the attraction anyway.

That's completing *3* missions at about 20 minutes each.

Assuming that we get DAS what ride would you first get a return time for and what ride to dash to first at MK. I'm thinking Tron and SDMT but advice needed. TY

You will be assigned a wait time for each DAS selection equal to the posted time, which WDW sometimes inflates to steer crowds. Alternate long wait attractions with shows, snacks, shopping, etc. to keep things moving.

DAS is not a big help at rope drop since you can't book it until inside the gates, and it will impose a long wait even if you're first in line. I'd rope drop a short wait attraction and book DAS simultaneously for a long wait ride.

That was my plan Ali. Just wanted to second guess what ride to immediately get DAS for.
