Suggestions I can give my boss for top end dining outside parks. Her husband has a largely keto diet. They know nothing about Disney... Prob best out of parks but I might give a few EP options. I'm thinking CG so can see HEA,

Citricos, narcoosees (think V&A one step too much), Flying fish, Bluezoo, Yachtsman, Boyrbon steak, I've not eaten any of these except BZ, oh & FF back in 2001. I've not done any other the fancier DS options- we tend to hit Blaze or polite pig there...

11:30am by hodg

I'd add in Topolinos and Jiko at resorts. WBG, Homecomin' and Boathouse at DS

11:36am by njhyndman

I am adding Capa at the Four Seasons (Michelin Star) and Bourbon steak at Dolphin.

11:47am by PrincipalTinker

Jaleo at DS

12:41pm by Elaine5715

Thanks for these! Homecomin always looks quite carb heavy?

1:03pm by hodg

Yes, carbs for sides like potatoes and mac & cheese. But excellent fried chicken!

1:37pm by njhyndman

Topolinos dinner and drinks on the rooftop patio.

2:27pm by JenniferB1975

@hodg, your post sid "top end dining" . Is there anything in particular they would be looking for? Food, service, atmosphere?

2:41pm by PrincipalTinker

I don't really know. But when she asked she said what really good places would I suggest. Steak options prob best. And CG for ease of seeing fireworks. They're staying up by the conference centre but want to "see" Disney.

2:44pm by hodg

My boss likes nice things- she has been known to pop into Fortnum & Mason to buy milk for work.

2:46pm by hodg

From what you just said I would think a resort would be better than DS. By your description I would pick from Cali Grill, Narccossee, Topolino and Capa. They all have upper end food and great atmosphere with fireworks views.

2:54pm by PrincipalTinker

That makes sense. I'll look up Capa as not familiar with that. Hoping she's done some reading/ googling so she understands my language tomoro! Need to help her sort tickets, which parks & a couple of ADRs

@hodg, if budget allows, they may want to spring for Premier Pass rather than deal with the nuances of LL.

26 min ago by TumbleMonkeys

I had suggested that. But then she tells me she's not too bothered about rides, just wants to walk around.. Expect her son & husband might want more rides.

12:38pm on 2/3/26 by JJT (staff)

This is not a cheap room by any stretch, BUT: is the lowest March price recorded for this room AND is a super rare 7-nighter. The only other two listings of this length were also this year and were priced about $1500 and $1700/night.

I feel obliged to post that on Friday, 12/11, there is a Poly Island Tower Duo studio for 2 nights for under $500 each night. It's hurting my heart not to be able to use it. "Feels" like a great price to me and those Duos never come available, esp at Xmas

I don't often highlight listings that are just a few % under median, but for BR in May there are not many multi-night listings lower than this price. ALSO very unlikely to see many (if any) lower for 4-nights or longer, much less a 7-nighter:

While this one is "only" about 12% under median for August, but BC doesn't swing much lower than this most days of the year. (Maybe most likely in Sept and Jan, but even then, limited.) 4-nighters are of course, a bit rarer.

@lorilcleveland Tough time frame, most listings well over median. Similar dates past years most "good" under median deals were 1-nighters appeared long before. Might consider anything 10% or even 20% over median and below a win at this point. Good luck!

BTW. For that 7-night Old Key West studio: There are MANY days in the year where $323 is just an OK price or even not close to a "good" price. But, For the zone between Feb and April, it is a win. See charts in forum thread!

8:21pm on 2/18/26 by JJT (staff)

Unlike the Dec Jambo analysis above, will likely be a good number of more than 2-night OKW studios around this price between now & end of the year. But, if looking for a 5-nighter, total number of Dec listings drops by half vs 2/n.

8:23pm on 2/18/26 by JJT (staff)

'd guess we might only see a small handful of listings this low. 5-night OKW Studio 12/13 for $260/night or 17% under https://dvc-rental.com/confirmed-reservation/?_resort=Old%20Key%20West%20Resort&dvc_id=DVC1973

DVCStore changed up its site today, so had to do an emergency revamp of my sampling script. Think all working automagically again, but if anything is still borked it may take a little time for me to check it out. Visiting DD at college next couple days!

5:02pm on 2/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Welp, there was something borked, the new site didn't like something else in my original script so the 6PM and 8PM updates hung up. Think I have that dealt with now and running a test now. Search engine should catch the new export file in a sec...

I was about 12 hours too late for that Kidani studio (insert crying emoji)

4:08pm on 2/20/26 by Ali Ababwa

At $500/night, it really hurts my wallet to say these are both very good deals, but in the context of March/April past listings, they are! See forum thread for charts.

3-night Poly Studio 03/08 for $500/night or 23% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/polynesian-507581 3-night Riviera Studio 03/23 for $483/night or 19% under https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10048929

7:34pm on 2/22/26 by JJT (staff)

Adding: I looked up the cash price for this Poly Tower Studio: $1,027/night after tax without a discount. I tried the 25% off Spring discount selection, but that only had Theme Park view which came in at $1,161 after tax.

SUPER VERY NICE PRICE DROP: 7-night AK Kidani Studio 05/02 orig $365/night now $255/n or 24% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/animal-kingdom-villas-kidani-village-431691

Any day of the year this is a great SSR price, for March: FANTASTIC. 2-night SSR Studio 03/04 for $204/night or 40% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ0000034qHdYAI

4:36pm on 2/23/26 by JJT (staff)

This one "only" 13% under median; it is the bottom of the price scale for August, but since it is on the cusp of Sept, important to note that it is actually over median for that month & I'd expect to see a group of laterPoly studios well below this price.

4:51pm on 2/23/26 by JJT (staff)

But, still a very good price and I'd book it if I wanted to go around that time! 5-night Poly Studio 08/30 for $426/night or 13% under https://dvc-rental.com/confirmed-reservation/?_resort=Polynesian%20Villas&dvc_id=DVC2002

7:26pm on 2/24/26 by JJT (staff)

BTW that Riv 1BR is a Preferred room. For comparison, Disney direct Cash rate for this room is $1,161/night after tax and WITH the current 25% discount!

7:45pm on 2/24/26 by JJT (staff)

Aw man! 4/19 is checkout day!

8:08pm on 2/24/26 by popupcamper

IDK what's more shocking. The 47% discount or the cash rate!

8:16pm on 2/24/26 by aliceinwonderla

Let's start with some nice ones and then END BIG. WAIT I MEAN SMALL (price). First, a Price Drop: 1-night BW Studio 03/27 orig $484/night now $418/n or 17% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/boardwalk-villas-509759

9:05am on 2/25/26 by JJT (staff)

Welp, Forget about the END SMALL teaser above: as I double checked that listing I see the rental site's listing info is incorrect and my system thought there was a 3-night OKW in March for $195/n. It ain't so, sadly.

9:12am on 2/25/26 by JJT (staff)

WAIT: DOUBLE FORGET THAT. It is a $195 deal, they just misconfigured the listing link. This should work. 3-night OKW Studio 03/23 for $195/night or 44% under median https://www.dvcstore.com/prebookedreservation/old-key-west/

9:51am on 2/25/26 by JJT (staff)

Unique Price Drop: VERY few of these in general, even fewer in March, but this is lowest price for that month. 6-night SSR Treehouse 03/15 orig $939/night now $678/n or 28% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ0000031lj7YAA

1:21pm on 2/25/26 by JJT (staff)

FYI All: After a site change list week, DVCStore followed up by changing their listing clicky link format. Looks like old ones still working & forward to new format, but I need to make some changes to my scripts to account for the brand new listings...

1:31pm on 2/26/26 by JJT (staff)

I wish those OKW studios would all sleep 5. It's a squish, but so much cheaper than a 1BR. And such a great deal at $200/nt!

2:39pm on 2/26/26 by RememberWhen

That OKW is a steal!

Saw a few previous Poly listings of similar lengths with prices around $426 this week and they only lasted a day or so before gone. In general, in Sept we will likely see lower listings, but still not that many longer ones...

Whoa, that's crazy! Someone snag that and be my neighbor for 1 of the nights lol

7:56pm on 2/27/26 by HalfBludPrincess

Wow, that Kidani deal is even better than the Kidani deal I got in early January 2021 when most people were avoiding travel due to COVID. Too bad I have stupid work next week and can't take it :(

8:06pm on 2/27/26 by JoeyPotter98

stoopid jobs and stoopid werk

9:53pm on 2/27/26 by JJT (staff)

This listing just popped up in my facebook newsfeed from your DVC Seer page, @JJT. Didn't know you had a fb page.

11:00pm on 2/27/26 by HalfBludPrincess

I can't believe it's still there! Hopefully a local liner can snag it

7:06am on 2/28/26 by Gusgus5

A Liner mentioned in forum they put in a request, so we'll have to see what happens! I bet they got a few and just haven't dealt with them yet.

7:14am on 2/28/26 by JJT (staff)

@HalfBludPrincess I created that page a few years ago, but just have my DVCSeer Instagram feed sending posts there. It still had zero followers last time I checked, but I've also done zero "marketing". :D

7:17am on 2/28/26 by JJT (staff)

Too bad the first 4 days of the month are financial reporting or I'd run away for that price!

8:49am on 2/28/26 by cdlla

While these %-under median may not be as exciting as a $133 Savannah room, they are actually very good deals for their time frame - and as longer stays are on the rarer side..

For the record: the Liner on forum who tried for the $133 Kidani did not get it; they asked how many people tried for it before them and were told they were 9th! Have to be quick on the draw for those crazy ones.

Not many July FW Cabin listings; is only 6-nighter recorded. Have been five 4 & 5-nighters, most higher. Compared to all dates would expect a group of Sept lower ones & some random ones at this price level during year.

9:21am on 3/2/26 by JJT (staff)

Those Oct BWs are a great deal and at lower end of price range when looking at 2-nights or longer - BUT, when limiting to just comparing to past listings 5-n or longer these are SUPER RARE prices for that month.

9:23am on 3/2/26 by JJT (staff)

I should probably note that you can find much lower dedicated BW prices many other times of the year, but for Oct those prices are all win.

Got a long email from a Southwest customer service specialist, after I emailed Bob Jordan & various execs about my last flight. To sum it up: 1) sorry about the overhead bin space. 2) preboard to wipe down seat due to nut allergy.

Getting a response was a small win, I think.

11:40am on 3/12/26 by Jennyhirsch

They did send out an email about changing up the front bin space rules, hopefully that really happens. Preboard for sure, but if pistachios are as bad as it sounds I might start packing a power washer.

12:13pm on 3/12/26 by JJT (staff)

I know of no one with a nut allergy but, find it bizarre to give out nuts on any flight. This is not the 90's!

1:43pm on 3/12/26 by JackOfAll

I agree Jack. How badly does someone need nuts that they can't go a few hours without them?!

2:16pm on 3/12/26 by evamarie320

I obviously agree. :) You might be amazed at how many people get 100% indignant about it in various contexts. Out in the world, people with allergies just gotta deal. But would be nice to not have to worry about it in the confined space of a flying tube.

My daughter's dairy allergy is airborne. She wears a mask on every flight and never eats or drinks. It sucks :(

How long must one go without nuts, you ask? There's a That's What She Said in there somewhere.

Awesome retailer. As I'm a Brit, they are the official supplier for UOR. Good prices. Great service. Great all inclusive tickets. The UK Disney ones include everything. Hopping, MM,golf, Wparks etc.

9:05am on 3/12/26 by Stu007

@stu yes, and that is what makes me a bit anxious. It seems too good to be true

9:50am on 3/12/26 by claudia_fea

There's a post that explains how to use that site and get the best discounts. I believe @JJT also has a post on the forum. Lots of liners have used them.

11:40am on 3/12/26 by youcanfly

For years they were very much U.K. only- for all the 14 & 21 day tickets. Now that seems to have changed legitimately. Just if you buy that way you link on website not app as I learnd this morning :-)

11:58am on 3/12/26 by hodg

Seems they have a really good deal right now. Only about $525 for a 14 day ticket in august! Even better than the socerer pass for us!

1:41pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

I used it last summer and it worked great!

1:41pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

Why worry. You can always dispute a charge on your card.

1:46pm on 3/12/26 by JackOfAll

If I don't use the tickets, can I use their value to buy tickets for a later trip?

3:12pm on 3/12/26 by claudia_fea

@claudia You should be able to use the value of any expired tickets in MDE, always. But, for the Attraction Tickets you can also add the Flex Plus option for about 25 pounds ($~30?) that gives you the option prior to departure to change your tix up to...

3:28pm on 3/12/26 by JJT (staff)

...2 times or cancel for a full refund. (Obviously, you don't get the Flex Plus cost back, that's insurance.)

3:29pm on 3/12/26 by JJT (staff)

@jjt if the tickets are linked to my MDE account, can't I change them myself?

4:50pm on 3/12/26 by claudia_fea

I think you might want to check with Attraction Tickets, but I have assumed the 2 changes with Flex would be no charge as opposed to changing yourself, which could cost more? That hasn't come up with AT tix here yet as I recall.

In my experience they simply cancel and re-issue them fresh. But in fairness that was a long time ago. Just call them. They are not hard sell. I've used them since 2014. They even refunded me discount coz I forgot to put the code in. 10-15% off this March

9:24am by Stu007

I'm just looking at May costs for my boss and it's is 509 pounds for the 14 days on attraction tickets, 510 pounds direct off Disney site. So that is $676 on today's exchange rate. I need to check convention rates for her too

10:57am by hodg

I used the code sunny and it was 25pct off. $525 for a 14 day ticket to be used over 18days in aug. Fabulous.

I highly recommend watching DVC Fan on YouTube. They are sponsored by one of the resale brokers full disclosure but they have great information. Resale doesn't get some of the perks such as discounted annual passes, discounts on merch etc, no special....

4:37pm on 3/12/26 by popupcamper

4:39pm on 3/12/26 by popupcamper

...only use the points at the original 14 resorts. DVC Fan just did an article on this exact topic https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/blog/new-dvc-resale-restrictions-and-who-is-most-impacted/ Many people find the savings on resale worth it though.

4:40pm on 3/12/26 by popupcamper

Here's the youtube video DVC Fan did on Monday about this too. https://youtu.be/PVZNqaCnIOs?si=P9LJXH2AhX_cNgUp

Oh the article was from DVC Resale Market (which sponsors DVC Fan, and the author of that blog is the host of DVC Fan - he's also President of DVC Rental Store, which is related to DVC Resale Market.)

https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/about-us/team/andy-berry/ Highly recommend talking to Andy Berry of DVC resale market.

I bought my first contract resale from him and all subsequent contracts direct from Disney bec I realized i wanted to be able to access the new resorts as the older ones expire. And we have benefitted from many of the other direct perks too.

4:50pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

Oh wow, thank you for all the info @popupcamper! I will check those out.

5:09pm on 3/12/26 by Peter Pannie13

Thanks @totsypooh! So,do u use the resale points you bought along with the direct from Disney points as well?

5:10pm on 3/12/26 by Peter Pannie13

Have you read a lot resale restrictions? Newer resorts (since Riviera) if you buy resale, you can only book there. Older resorts CCV and before, you can book at the older resorts, but never at the newer ones. Of course, those contracts will expire 1st.

5:29pm on 3/12/26 by PrincipalTinker

Lots of great advice above so I won't repeat it. But if you decide to buy resale, there is a website that lists all resale contracts in one place. It's like MLS for regular real estate. Much easier than looking at each resale agency's page. When I

6:14pm on 3/12/26 by evamarie320

researched resale I found that everyone had a good experience with their agency. Do I wasn't picky about agency: I could search the one site and just look for the resort(s) I wanted. I'll try to find the site and link it here.

Dvcforless will allow you to set up a search and will email you when a resort that meets your criteria is listed. Their email includes a rating and a direct link to the listing.

6:56pm on 3/12/26 by PrincipalTinker

Resale and direct points can be used together at 11 mos if the same home resort. At 7 mos resale points are subject to restrictions which can limit where they can be used. So if i had resale plus direct AKL points for example, at 7 months i can use them

7:00pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

Together for say Poly but only the direct points can book riviera or fort wilderness.

7:01pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

But in general yes i use them fairly seemlessly except for when i want to book the newer resorts.

7:02pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

Andy Berry is awesome. Great info and great communication. I have 2 direct contracts/ 4 resale contracts (2 diff resorts- addonitis is real, lol). Only downfall I keep running int is Riviera is rarely available at 7mo so I'm considering direct pts there.

7:04pm on 3/12/26 by cdlla

I also have direct and resale points and highly recommend the dvc fan content. I've used their sponsor for my resale purchases with good success! Good luck!

7:11pm on 3/12/26 by VikeQueen

@youcan,honestly I'm not sure which site I used in 2018 that showed all the listings, but the dvcforless site was the one I could quickly find when looking for a multisite lister.

I listened to Liners and watched numerous vlogs before deciding myself. For me, resale was a better choice in value because I wasn't interested in an annual pass or other perks buying direct. I just wanted to ability to stay at the original 14 resorts..

One consideration is the difference between DVC Memeber and DVC Owner. You can only be a "Member" buying through Disney. Our first contract we bought through Disney. Our add on contract was resale

1:14pm by cobia

We bought direct thru Disney and don't really use many of those "perks" so research them and weigh that into your decision. Either way you can't go wrong being a member or owner :)
