Who has gone to Terra treats for the new treats in AK? Is the line as bad as all the videos show? I'm not wasting a rope drop on it, and would just want to get in line whenever we pass by...is it really that crazy???

So funny walking by there and there's hundreds of people eating the same thing lol

Just echoing others that the afternoon line was negligible the day we tried it; we walked right up and ordered. (I will say that I found the sandwich very sweet- I was glad we shared it!)

Are conference tickets still safe and a-ok to buy and use these days? Last change made them date specific but idk if anything else changed

Yes have done it since. You just need to find the right conference. I need them Jan 2-8 and I had to do a conference in December 28-31 so I could pick my dates. The conference in January didn't allow me to book my earlier dates. I use MER conferences.

2:43pm by JodiF

MER conference here too. It was very easy.

Not sure what is up with Soarin', but lightning lane has been almost 30 minutes (in line just before 8). Wondering if this is just a tonight thing or what...

8:27pm by whisperfigment

It was slower than usual for us a couple weeks ago. My children were sitting down in the LL. On our 2nd day the entire C section in our room couldn't be used and it took a long time getting cleared to start.

8:36pm by kateschmidt

It was working well this weekend. Only waited 15/16 minutes on Friday and then again yesterday. It has been a problem at times, but I was hopeful that had been fixed.

8:55pm by utang44

Ah we just missed you! We tapped in around 7:20 and it was basically 8pm when we got off. So frustrating.

43 min ago by melcort10

It was bad yesterday evening too. Said 20 minutes standby when I entered LL. Line didn't move. I left after about ten minutes (had other plans) and there were a ton of people behind me.

Hey Liners...it's been a while. Best wishes to all my old friends and to those I haven't met yet as well. We have a COUNTDOWN 68 days. Looking for the first time ever to do a 4 Parks in 1 Day Challenge but looking for guidance on making the RULES!

Isn't one of @fatty's food groups the McRib?

Hamburgers, a grilled potato packet & corn. Probably a Cadbury egg for dessert.

How do you mark a step as completed in the app? We have set up the plans, but I don't see how we can mark them done once we're in the park. Am I missing something?

5:29pm by mateo36mml

I think that appears when you're actually using the plan.

5:31pm by utang44

Thanks!

7:09pm by mateo36mml

To "practice," set the date of your plan for tomorrow and once the park has opened you will see how it works. On the day of you can mark steps done. I think it's in the three dot menu far right.

They only have about 10(?) people per tour so late openings are rare, sorry.

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.)

@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

2:33pm 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.

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

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.

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 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. :)
