"What's cookin'?" It's a leftover dinner for me. DW is feeling a bit under the weather and will hopefully be enjoying some quality Italian toast. What are you having for dinner this rainy Wednesday?

Do cast members still hand out stickers in the parks? Do they ever pass out special ones at ticketed events like MNSSHP? Our kids loved it when they were younger & we added them to our scrapbook. Hoping to get some classics or new ones on our next trip.

For those who were following along , I was nervous but I had a great time in the castle. I highly recommend it if you are considering it. Thx for the support!

Yay, so glad you had a good time with the princesses!

So happy you did it !, have a great day

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it. Being in the castle is special.

I'm so glad to hear that you had a good time!!

I also went to enchanted tales with Belle and Ariel's grotto. It was quite a princessy morning. MK crowd level 1 is an absolute delight. If only every day were like this

3:08pm by VikeQueen

What questions did you end up asking of the princesses?

3:19pm by evamarie320

With each of them I explained I was there along because my now adult sons would never come when they were young. Aurora said I was making my dreams come true and living my own adventure which was very kind

4:02pm by VikeQueen

Jasmine explained how I could buy my own magic carpet. Very funny and I can't even remember how we got there so quickly.

4:03pm by VikeQueen

I told Ariel the story of how years ago we stood in the wrong line for the mermaid ride and when we got to the front and realized it was a meet and greet , my boys refused to meet and we left LOL. that story is why I went to complete the meet later

4:04pm by VikeQueen

I came full circle at the grotto because the family in front of me had also gotten in the wrong line and meant to be on the ride. But they stayed for photos LOL

4:05pm by VikeQueen

I told rapunzel (truthfully ) that she is my favorite. I didn't end up personalizing my questions much. My explanation of what I was doing there by myself led very naturally into nice interactions :)

4:06pm by VikeQueen

Great! I was wondering how you made out, so glad you had fun!

5:49pm by nitsaki

We did 5 nights in Paris and 3 nights in DLP last June. DLP is beautiful, but different than domestic parks. Not run nearly as efficiently. Spend the money for the special seating for the fireworks. Great view and low cost. Paris itself is amazing.

9:38pm by felesh

We did 2 half days and 2 full days, but in hindsight would have spent more time in Paris instead of DLP. Stayed at Newport Bay. The value resorts were such cute themes.

9:42pm by felesh

If you were to do a monorail progressive dinner, which order would you do to end up able to watch MK fireworks? We don't necessarily have to do table service, it could even be all apps with dessert at the end.

Good point @mel. Thanks for the tips, I will start checking out the menus and plan accordingly. We have watched from Poly before but that's it. What about Wailulu? Everywhere looks so good we may have to loop around more than once lol!

8:00pm by Call me Leota

Wailulu is great. I forgot about it. I've eaten there but my last monorail crawl was before it.

8:13pm by evamarie320

Could bus to MK then walk to CR. We prefer S71 bar, from there monorail to Poly, Tambu then Wailulu, easy walk from there to GF but you could boat and you'll be closer to Narcoossee's. There's a place to watch there if you are dining

I'm hoping Josh is shaking things up, I don't know the inner workings but since Covid I haven't loved some decisions that have been made. Maybe the welcoming show getting nixed was the last straw! Fingers crossed.

Anyone else feel like WDW is understating posted wait times? I've consistently waiting at least 20-30 minutes longer in standby the last 4 days than what's posted. Friend went over SB and reported wait times off by 60 minutes.

5:36pm by abridges27

My experience today at MK was the opposite but it's a pretty limited sample size and a crowd level 1 ....

5:59pm by VikeQueen

Pretty opposite for me today at Epcot as well.

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.)

@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?

1:56pm on 4/9/26 by JJT (staff)

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...

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

@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.

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

6:29pm on 4/17/26 by JJT (staff)

Seems like it might be hard to get someone to take a 14 night reservation in only a couple weeks.

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.

12:49pm 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)

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

2:27pm on 4/20/26 by JJT (staff)

NOT a high volume "room", especially in August: 24 total listings, only 4 were 6-nights were longer. The single 6-night priced lower than this appeared a few days before check in last year, this one is 105 days out so nice planning time. :)

8:34pm on 4/20/26 by JJT (staff)

6-night FW Cabin 08/03 for $448/night or 8% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/product/confirmed-reservation/?post_id=530436

Another price drop for this one: 14-night AK Kidani 2 Bedroom 05/02 orig $756/night now $493/n or 39% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10047419

4:29pm on 4/23/26 by JJT (staff)

OK NOW WE'RE TALKING. There has been a unique situation with TWO 14-NIGHT Kidani 2BR Villas dropping in price with same start date. One resort view, one Savannah. Both dropped again today and the resort view is now phenomenomenal.

12:14pm on 4/25/26 by JJT (staff)

12:14pm on 4/25/26 by JJT (staff)

At the same time, while the Savannah view, still just over $700 is also a pretty great price. 14-night AK Kidani 2 Bedroom 05/02 orig $834/night now $709/n or 12% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10049971

12:14pm on 4/25/26 by JJT (staff)

This is a terrific price point for OKW at end of summer into Sept. If you limit comparison to past rentals >=6-nights it is really more like 40% under median and all of the same or lower priced listings all appeared much closer to check in date:

3:24pm on 4/25/26 by JJT (staff)

12:29pm on 4/26/26 by JJT (staff)

This is "only" 8% under median, but there are very few listings lower than this in July in past data. Once you get to a moderately longer stay that number approaches zero and almost all lower ones show up much closer to check in date. Also: TEN NIGHTS WOO

2 straight weeks-that's going to be a tough one but what a good time that would be :)

10:00am on 4/27/26 by cdlla

...and there are TWO 14-night listings out there for that same room with the same start date! The market for that rental must be tiny. Feel like two or more families splitting the two weeks would be a good play.

7:40pm on 4/27/26 by JJT (staff)

Yes, this is a slim, slim margin under the median price for Riv Duo Studios in January. But, this room just doesn't stray much from median - and is super low volume, so I wouldn't hold my breath expecting to see more than 1 or 2 more between now and Jan:

FWIW: These are all "Near Hospitality House" listings. Also, they're really much better than just 8% under median when comparing apples/apples & filtering to longer stays. More like 14% under comparing to 5-nights or longer, 26% vs 7-nights or longer.

In December, this is a solid price point for any listing - and even more solid-er for a 5-nighter. TL;DR: If you want a long stay in December, I'd grab this and not expect to get listing lucky with a lower price in the future. Could happen, might not...

This one is also bottom of range for DEC and is an even better deal at 5-nights: Last year we saw a SINGLE listing anywhere near this price at about 30 days out. If you want a longer Kidani stay mid-December, now is your time to shine!

There is the possibility that it could be busier this year due to new attractions opening on the 26th.

7:54pm by PrincipalTinker

I'm thinking a bit of a bump probably, but the folks with kids still in school are unlikely to take them out of school that close to the end for a jaunt to ride new rides. At least that's my thought. They can just wait a few weeks. Until we're home!

Also, if WDW prices LLs according to anticipated crowds, the prices have been pretty moderate for our park days, with the exception of higher priced HS days and a higher priced Epcot on the day after the new Soarin opens.
