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!

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.

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.)

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.

@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:

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

2:14pm 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

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 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 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

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:

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

Is there a trick to using a gift card for WAT? I did a "trial run" and don't see an option for entering a gift card, and want to be able to book at midnight instead of calling the next morning. Thanks!

I see the same thing you do. I think when I booked KTTK a few years ago I booked it with a credit card then called in the morning. They canceled and refunded my credit card and then rebooked it with my gift card.

We went in February for the first time and thought Space Mountain was way better! Also really enjoyed lunch at Lamplight Lounge

Haven't been to DLR in years, but a special memory was having a mint julep with my DH in New Orleans square

3:56pm on 4/19/26 by disneymama3

DL is special. You can tell it's older. Pirates is so cool. Not sure when you are going, but they have great tours. They just do them so well out there. My favorite I've done was a Christmas tour. I like walking through downtown disney to parks.

4:11pm on 4/19/26 by momma4fun

I'm glad to hear the tours are special. We leave in three weeks for our Adventures by Disney vacation to Southern California and Disneyland. There are several tours on the schedule, including Walt's apartment and meeting with an Imagineer. Free time too.

4:35pm on 4/19/26 by anneofcreek

I hope you have an amazing trip! Ride all the rides! Pirates is awesome and there are many Fantasyland rides that are not at WDW. Are you planning to go to California Adventure? Radiator Springs Racers is one of my all time favorites!

4:48pm on 4/19/26 by T07

Please report back on your trip!

5:17pm on 4/19/26 by momma4fun

Paint the night- so good And we've not seen WoC as it was broken when we went- hoping to see that this year. F! also very unique there- hadn't planned to go but loved it

6:39pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

And the guardians take on ToT is such fun

6:39pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

I really like the WOC dessert party but its $$$$

6:56pm on 4/19/26 by Totsypooh

The nighttime shows are great. We did each one once. WoC was my favorite. I don't know if they still do something special at It's a Small World at night, but we enjoyed that too because it was less crowded. So many fun rides & things to do - enjoy!

10:15pm on 4/19/26 by Ange425

Hi @totsy! I actually just booked that for our trip today, so glad to hear your recommendation!

10:49pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Hi @anne- I'm in a similar boat (taking my whole family soon), but I've been once before. I had fun prioritizing the rides that DL has that aren't at WDW, and the rides that DL does differently (bec DL's are often better). For me, that list is:

10:52pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

DL: Indy, Big Thunder, HM (esp if holiday version), IASW, Matterhorn, Space Mt, all the dark rides in FL (minus PPF unless there's time), Storyland Canal Boats, Roger Rabbit, Finding Nemo, and Pirates. DCA: Incredicoaster, Soarin (if over CA), all of...

10:56pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

...Carsland, Grizzly River Run, Pixar Pal-Around, Webslingers and the shows in Avenger's Campus. When I was planning this trip, I asked a similar question over on the DL side of Lines, and they highly recommended Paint the Night, Wondrous Journeys, Wo...

10:58pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

....World of Color (which I've seen a diff version of, and it's awesome!), the 70th cavalcade, and Tapestry of Happiness on IaSW. A few also recommended the 70th tour. Hope this helps!

11:00pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Oh, one more thought. I love Disney history, so I had fun looking for the little unique things at DL: the mismatched light bulb, the little man of DL, Wendy and Peter's initials in the tree, the brick wall, Jingles the horse... These things light me up!

11:06pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Just 7 days until my Disneyland trip. Join the Disneyland chat. They aren't as quick to respond as here. I got a lot of great advice. Since there's no real benefit to staying onsite I'm not. Going for the 70th and for Star Wars night :) so excited

11:29pm on 4/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

If you go to Pixar place hotel you can rent a car and return it lax for no extra charge. All but candy cane charge for parking. Eva and wallie meet in the lobby on Wednesdays in April for earth day

11:31pm on 4/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

^Agree with @world re: offsite hotels. I tend to stay at the Park Vue Inn, which is zero frills. But it's clean, across the street (closer to DCA than even the DL Hotel), and they don't charge for th parking either.

7:30am on 4/20/26 by JERancher

DL is a lot of fun. Much more manageable. Parks are right next to each other. Downtown area is fun - we did dinner there on our arrival day. The rides that are also at WDW are often better at DL but IMO DL doesn't have the likes of SDD, GotG, FoP, Tron.

2:09pm on 4/20/26 by ma14

I don't love the LL system without letting you book beforehand. But they have very regular LL drops which helped us a ton.

2:10pm on 4/20/26 by ma14

Agree with all of the above. We stay at grand legacy. Quick and safe walk.

Indiana Jones, Carsland, and Mr Toad!

6:58pm on 4/21/26 by AgentCarter

Indy, pirates, and Mr. Toads for sure!

7:25pm on 4/21/26 by cobia

Pirates has always been my favorite. I grew up at DL

7:34pm on 4/21/26 by cobia

I'm going this summer- first time. Great lists!

9:00pm on 4/21/26 by Figment20

Mr Toad! Do the castle walk through with the story of Sleeping Beauty. Also look closely & up for the window that the Evil Queen is watching from.

9:31pm on 4/21/26 by el_1102

I loved the canal boats and the canoes! The Spider-Man show. Walking through Grizzly Peak. Guardians and Radiator Springs Racers rides. Incredicoaster.

9:36pm on 4/21/26 by TumbleMonkeys

The Disney Gallery is fun to check out. It's just after the right side entrance at DL park. Also agree with WOC dessert party, ask for a high top table for a good view. Sorcerer's workshop in the animation building and Redwood creek challenge trail at DCA

11:17pm on 4/21/26 by WildernessPixie

Fantasyland especially is so packed with attractions, you get off one and the queue for the next is just a couple of steps away. No wasted space.

7:49am on 4/22/26 by irenek

I am here now for the first time. Downtown Disney is underwhelming compared to Disney springs. Fantasy land gets incredibly packed- there is no space, but ride lines move quickly. Iconic rides are better here than WDW. Not impressed at all with food here.

11:16am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

There isn't many indoor shows to filter crowds out, so nowhere to escape for a few quiet moments. Cast members are a little more scarce and less likely to interact. Being able to walk between parks is awesome. Cars land is amazing, GoTG is awesome.

11:18am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

Go to the theatre where the Lincoln show is. Lots of Disney history! Paint the night is awesome. I personally like space mountain at WDW better ;)

11:20am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

We did our first trip to DL/DCA last year and loved it! DS6 did Mr Toad over and over. Radiator springs is incredible. I loved the live entertainment and the chill vibe of the whole place. It was relaxing! In three days we did everything we wanted to.

Yes you can use miles for anyone but my perks do not follow me on another's miles. SW charges almost as much as buying points ($25 per 1k) AA charges $5 for 1K, and my status follows me, whoever books my flight.

I used my mommas points to book my flight to and from MCO, it didn't cost me anything. Then I had her be my companion. It didn't cost me anything.
