Have fun!

1:17pm by TheWalkingDad

Wow, you are go, go, going! Getting it all in. Cant believe it's been 3 weeks already. Did you like the Wish?

1:20pm by Jennyhirsch

3 weeks has gone fast! I've been enjoying your adventures.

1:29pm by WildernessPixie

I'm amazed at how quickly time flies, even when you are traveling with parents! It was fun following your journey

1:30pm by trishr.

It is scary how quick 3 weeks has flown by. Just glad we have California trip over my 60th & DH shld be running around more normally by then, amd springtime surprise next yr w likely destiny before. So yes we loved the wish

2:01pm by hodg

Enjoy the final hours and have a safe and smooth return home.

2:27pm by gmcc

Got into MK after 11.30, got train for dfil, walk on under the sea, lunch at PH, iasw, WtP, thought about peoplemover but long line in the sun so called it a day, now on monorail back to BLT. So bye till next year!

Don't be sad that it's over.....

Nothing like a DLR trip on the books to get over leaving WDW/DCL!

3:11pm by KLuck

Those 3 weeks have flown by! Glad you've had such a great trip p. Lovely to have DLR trip to look forward to. Safe travels

Sitting on the plane at mco. Sadly virgin still uses term a but we had priority due to DH & dmil walking issues so are settled out of the chaos. Haven't been doing shenkel this time- whole of Epic & whole of cruise were new so I'd be at 100s

30 min ago by hodg

But a few thoughts- we loved epic but it was easy as we had 3 nights with early access thru Helios. That meant we cld spread RD priorities. A few key rides have crazy waits, rest stays manageable- so it's fine over a few days.

29 min ago by hodg

Good at epic side was great- the QS were really well themed & food good. Blue dragon & bar Helios both very special. UOR was way better looking after DH with his mobility issues- every ride took us easy access routes & took & returned cane.

27 min ago by hodg

That shld say food at Epic...

26 min ago by hodg

Wdw largely expected DH to keep cane on rides- even at tron they were surprised & did not return it well. There are less rides w steps in lines- on tianas they were helpful & took us to board at exit.

24 min ago by hodg

Crazy it's already time to go home!

23 min ago by popupcamper

Chef Mickey bfast buffet they tried to sit us far from buffet up a few steps- I'm no! 1st time we've seen spilled popcorn left lying around thru parks- no CMs to clear up as soon as anything dropped. Did not see this at UOR.

22 min ago by hodg

Monorail CMs were good helping DH to a seat at busy times like end of night. Buses a free for all- people mostly offered seats but difficult on a full bus. We waited for next a few times-but then he had to stand to wait.

20 min ago by hodg

Overall the CMs were still as great as ever tho. Just think they're more stretched than before. Loved BLT w the refurb other than the lack of storage as I said as we arrived- just don't get why it wasn't considered. Great the pool opened before arrival

17 min ago by hodg

No problem leaving extra bags w BLT bell services while off on cruise- easy to drop & collect. Way better than PBH bell services which was always too busy to cope w demand.

16 min ago by hodg

@hodg, we've definitely commented how much cleaner Uni is than WDW. The bathrooms were very much better.

15 min ago by popupcamper

Dessert party seats/treats was great for us w DH & dmil- they wldve struggled out in garden & def not out in the crowd. Had front row but you really don't see the projections well so will go back to pre/post party when DH is fit again.

14 min ago by hodg

Wdw bathrooms were only an on issue later in the day & at the ones you know would get busy - again down to staffing level I'm sure, saw CMs less often in the bathrooms this trip.

12 min ago by hodg

LLMP- nothing to do except make the best of it, but not a fan- did so much better booking G+. And the tiers limit advantage hugely esp at EP. Very few drops now- did get a random later remy that then we had to cancel. Didn't get for AK & didn't miss it.

Real world will hit hard on Monday- so lucky to have been able to have 3 weeks here. Sure it'll be in-laws last visit for both cost & effort-was hard work having them along but grateful to have them able to come.

Possibly linked to previous but we got thru an awful lot more cocktails this trip... and a few bottles of fizz on hotel or ship balcony :-)

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.)

Another example of a low volume room for that month, has only been one lower price and that was a 2-nighter. 4-night BW 1 Bedroom 06/20 for $451/night or 28% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ000003Ng01YAC

7:58pm on 4/8/26 by JJT (staff)

The two good OKW and BR listings that appeared last night had their prices jacked up by $60-$70 by this morning. Another DVCShop experience, they love to do that.

SMOKING DEAL ALERT 5-night BC Studio 04/23 for $353/night or 30% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ000003Nt3hYAC

@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)

Price Drop! This is now the lowest May price recorded for this room vs 5-nights or longer. There have only been a few others 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:

We also are having a #PRICEDROPDAY: 20 listings dropped in price so far, several interesting now. Here's a couple, see forum thread for a few more and analysis / charts...

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

2:33pm 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.

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

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.

12:36pm 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

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

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

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)

14-night AK Kidani 2 Bedroom 05/02 orig $756/night now $394/n or 51% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10047419

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)

6-night OKW Studio 08/30 for $217/night or 18% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/old-key-west-532062

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

Near the lowest price we're likely to see for this room. I would not expect to see many, if any more listings at this price before August. 2-night BC Studio 08/09 for $368/night or 17% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10050050

5:27pm 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

12:30pm on 4/26/26 by JJT (staff)

10-night BC Studio 07/05 for $426/night or 8% under https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ000003RsNZYA0

Oooo that's a good deal

9:37am on 4/27/26 by cobia

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:

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

2-night Riviera Studio (Duo) 01/23 for $325/night or 3% under https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ000003SEntYAG

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

For December this is near the bottom of the Poly price range. The few lower listings that have appeared tended to show up less than 100 days out from check in:

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.

2:48pm on 4/28/26 by JJT (staff)

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...

Historically may not be at lowest price point, but this year has seen far fewer June OKW listings so far & very few listings below this price. I'd say it is likely the last chance to catch a good OKW deal for June...

For this room in October, pretty much the low end of the price range ESPECIALLY for a 5-nighter. We've seen rando lower prices, but I wouldn't count on that happening again at all.

This GC price vs historical July data is a very nice one! We might see some shorter listings in the same price range before July, but it is VERY "might". For a 4-nighter, this is likely it, baby.

Yes, that says the HH studio price is 20% OVER median, but low data points and some crazy 2024 listings skewing that median. My take: any sub $200 Disney room is a win, even if the location and date will be #sweataweatha.

There's a way to do it in MDE. Don't have any LLs at the moment, so can't investigate. Hopefully someone with experience will pop in with instructions.

There's a way. I've got LLMPs let me check.

We celebrate everything @hodg. Prek graduation , kinder, 5th, 8th then 12th. Personally I think it's dumb but it's a thing. Basically every time you finish at a school you "graduate" and in the case of PK and K you keep going to the same school.

Yes - my favorite thing to do is grab a dole whip rum float and watch the bird show!!

10:58am by daisylover78

Fun story: the first time I saw this show, one of the birds stole the CM's microphone and flew away! The CM looked to his partner and said, "I have no idea what to do!" It was absolutely hysterical. Anyway: yup, drinks and food is all ok. And thanks..

11:47am by JERancher

...for the Kakigori info! The one in Japan is delicious, but now I have a new quest for AK! :)

11:48am by JERancher

Think that microphone trick is every time @JER :-) that's kind of the show

12:39pm by hodg

@hodg- oh my gosh, is it really? To have the bird leave with it too?? It seemed to slow the show down, and the tech guys had to come out to give them a replacement. I haven't seen the show since, so I thought that was a gaffe... but that's hilarious...

12:54pm by JERancher

But my apologies if I spoiled a surprise for others!

12:55pm by JERancher

Okay, I was going a bit nutty with this, so I looked it up. It's not every time (which is why I hadn't seen it happen before!) but it's a frequent trick. Please disregard the spoilers above if you don't want to read about the show! Sorry for that!

It's a testament to their acting ability that they can fool people in hundreds of performances every year!

I saw the show Tuesday. They didn't steal an entire microphone but there was trickery :) the hosts are great. I love that show.

4:42pm by VikeQueen

I have only seen it twice so I don't have a vast pool of experience- but was 2 out of 2. And it's always more fun if a bird misbehaves and flies off
