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?

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:

1:32pm on 4/15/26 by JJT (staff)

SUPER UNUSUAL: Very few of this room in data. Next nearest multi-night price recorded was $1,926. 6-night AK Jambo Grand Villa 04/25 orig $1,640/night now $875/n or 47% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ00000328cTYAQ

2:14pm on 4/15/26 by JJT (staff)

Price Drop: Terrific, especially for a 6-nighter AND Preferred room! 6-night BLT Studio 05/09 orig $436/night now $345/n or 18% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/bay-lake-tower-444231

2:35pm on 4/17/26 by JJT (staff)

Hey @JJT- is it still true that there's no real rhyme or reason to price drops? (I'm eyeing one out there right now for my next trip, and the dates are perfect, but it's still a bit steep.)

4:57pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

Sort of not really maybe? ;) In general, still mostly "they show up when they show up." But, last night and today I was working on some month by month charts to see if there are any general patterns for each room based on month. First glance there...

5:35pm on 4/17/26 by JJT (staff)

..may be some abstract patterns that could give one a bit of an idea. But, still not sure. Will drop info here when I do, working on a video for Jambo House listings as a proof of concept.

5:37pm on 4/17/26 by JJT (staff)

Cool! Thank you so much for all you do for this community!

6:11pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

@JEReancher My pleasure. I just finished the Jambo House video I was working on to kind of see how listings show up... still figuring out my formats and how to explain them. But might be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD0O_KctABM

9:34am on 4/18/26 by JJT (staff)

While this first one is "only" 17% under median, for BC that is pretty much the lowball June price when looking for all length listings except for a very few randos each year. But, if you want a long stay for June - THIS IS IT BABY.

12:36pm on 4/18/26 by JJT (staff)

In addition to these, there were a few worthy others from the noon refresh, see forum thread or my search engine! 2-night BLT Studio 07/26 for $357/night or 18% under https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/bay-lake-tower-529504

12:49pm on 4/18/26 by JJT (staff)

Weirdly, still no new listings today as of about 11:30, will see what the next refresh brings. But - there are FIVE Riviera studios in October that dropped in price to the 15-17% under median range. Here's 2 of them:

11:49am on 4/19/26 by JJT (staff)

6-night Riviera Studio 10/03 orig $527/night now $449/n or 15% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/riviera-resort-495546

11:49am on 4/19/26 by JJT (staff)

3-night Riviera Studio 10/19 orig $513/night now $437/n or 17% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/riviera-resort-495548

11:49am on 4/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Duo Studios are very low volume for January and the deviation from median is pretty slim, especially on the below median side. This is very likely the lowest price we'll see between now and January, give or take $15 difference.

8:23pm on 4/19/26 by JJT (staff)

While there have been lower prices for this room in July, IMHO if I wanted to stay at CC I'd jump a price in this range. 3-night CC Studio 07/06 for $340/night or 13% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ000003QgUvYAK

I know I'm part of the "over 50 crowd" so maybe I'm noticing these things more, but does anybody else think that the Disney resort bathtubs should have some sort of grab bar for safety? The tubs are usually kind of slippery too.

I'm part of the over 60 crowd and totally agree.

8:51pm on 4/22/26 by thombo

If you asked for a handicapped room they have a bar a shower chair and roll in shower. I didn't request a handicapped room but they gave me one on my last stay.

9:14pm on 4/22/26 by WorldTraveler34

I am, at 60, appreciating the hotels (in and out of Disney) that have walk in showers instead of tubs. Tubs are hard to get in and out of safely.

9:33pm on 4/22/26 by evamarie320

All Stars have old man grab bars.

I'll have to consider that next time. Thanks @pod!

7:20am by monorailsandmagic

@pod, I think I might get those. I am 65 and I too have always requested a walk in shower. I will so miss the TP form. I fell pretty bad in a Universal shower last weekend.

7:35am by PrincipalTinker

Oh no! @ PT! Thanks @pod. good idea even at my DD new house. For long trips I travel with old flip flops that I throw away end of trip. Those did save me in one incredibly slick shower. I also throw down hand towel in tub/shower, not foolproof

7:51am by Magicalday2011

Sorry to hear @PT that's my nightmare. This CIDP has me pretty unstable.

8:33am by pod4christ

I so appreciate the walk-in showers at POFQ, and I'm only 44 and still pretty steady on my feet.

8:35am by utang44

I'm team bathtub. I appreciate how POFQ has both. That was my only room request this last trip. How do people with littles bathe them in rooms without tubs?

10:37am by popupcamper

Walk in showers are great! We had one installed prior to my latest knee surgery and the handles were just what I needed.

10:59am by TacMed

Team Bathtub here as well. I end up pre-dispensing shampoo and body wash into plastic cups so that I can reach them from sitting.

11:11am by Ali Ababwa

We actually never use the tub with little ones (it secretly grosses me out), it's easy to just shower them off on their own or in with us

11:25am by LaurenInWonderland

I am 60 and DH 65. We installed a walkin shower several years ago. I miss it when at Disney. Last summer I fell in the bathtub at GF on the first night. Ended up taking hand baths the rest of the week. The fall was rough and it simply terrified me.

Since you are staying at the Dolphin, your arrival day should be HS or EP. EP without LLs means 2 or 3 rides and yummy snacks. HS requires LLs, IMO, but entering HS at 4:30 with 3 LLs, an SPLL for Rise, and ending at Fantasmic would be great.

3:29pm by Jennyhirsch

We would skip AK bc it is not my family's favorite thing but if I had to, we'd rope drop a few EEs, ride Safari, buy SPLL for FoP then Uber to EP to ride GotG with a 2nd SPLL. MPLLs could be at EP in the afternoon. Dinner and hotel to end day.

3:32pm by Jennyhirsch

MK is to be enjoyed all day. Take a pool break and go back at nite for Starlight Parade, HEA, and get in line for Tron 5 min before park closes. WDW will post something awful, like a 75 minute wait to scare people away, but it will really be 30-40min

I had a thought. Simba is not Mufasa kid. Simba is Scars kid. Senerio prequel. Nala is tired every day hunting cleaning the cave while Mufasa goes on in his thrown and "Kings" Scar comes over to visit with his bro and starts talking to Nala.

Nala is upset because she feels like she does all the work gets no attention while Mufasa sits on his thrown drinking and playing poker with his buddies. Now things happens Simba Scars kid is born. Not being the smartest lion Scar comes up with a plan

3:22pm on 4/21/26 by TheREALniter

To be a villian. Why so he can see his kid. If he is too close to the family other animals will feel lime something is wrong and this would disrupt the kingdom. A villian gives him enough time to say hello and leave

Scar definitely tries to get with Nala near the end of the musical (google tells me this was also a deleted scene in the movie). Remember this from when my kids' theatre co did LK. When I was a kid I also did theatre - with Jerry Springer's daughter!

I would ignore the crowd predictions and plan the parks that make sense for you.
