Hello, Liner Pals! Annual Pass question- Do I need to get to guest services to validate my AP before I receive merch and dining discounts at Disney Springs?

Does your MagicMobile show your AP?

Appreciate your help again searching for a conference: Looking to buy conference theme park tickets for a visit March 15-21. I've done it before but have forgotten how to search beyond Google. Sorry.

Think this should work: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/bolt_wdw_conv_00001/admission/

11:11am by utang44

You can't share the links with bolt_wdw_conv in them, a cookie needs to be set in the browser using the link to get to that from the convention page. :)

Oops, my bad. I just googled Disney conference May 15 and clicked the first option.

11:17am by utang44

https://disneyevent.com/mermar2026wdw2 This one should lead you to the right place.

12:18pm by gmcc

@gmcc, that was a great link but only allowed tickets for March 15-18, and I need March 19 too. I thought tickets were valid for a week before and after?

1:08pm by snowdiz

@snow I think you are misunderstanding the ticket calendar. You pick the start date and the tickets will be good for as long as you purchased (usual window applies depending on days.)

1:30pm by JJT (staff)

They are supposed to be valid from seven days before the conference through seven days after it.

1:30pm by utang44

It just occurred to me: Unless you are only buying 2 day tickets and want to use them on the 15th and 19th? Then that won't work even with regular tix because the 2-day tix window is 4 days. But, if you are buying 3 days or longer and start on 3/15...

1:31pm by JJT (staff)

..they will be usable any day from 3/15 to 3/19.

1:32pm by JJT (staff)

Yes, planning to use 3/15 at HS and 3/19 at AK. Hmmmmmm.

4:44pm by snowdiz

^^Crud. Did not realize the 2-day tickets must be used within 4 days. Nuts!

4:53pm by snowdiz

Can verify. Our 3 day tickets start June 8 and go thru June 11.

4:54pm by cdlla

OK, if your yes includes you plan to buy 2 day tickets, then there's no ticket use window that works for your plan, sorry to say. Either have to buy a 3-day to expand the window or get a pair of 1-day.

Thanks @JJT. Must re-think our 2-park day planning. My family wants a busy trip: HS, AK, Sea World, Clearwater Marine and Beach, Wild Florida Park, resort hopping. Whew! (I talked them out of adding Epic.)

5:28pm by snowdiz

Not quite sure if the dates will work, but my AAP Practical Pediatrics conference (aka handyman conference) at the Yacht Club is Mar 20-22.

Looks like leftovers here as DH forgot to marinate the flank steak we bought. That'll be on the menu tomorrow.

Vrbo or other recommendations for off-property, 2-3 bedroom, for a sisters weekend in December? We'd like to be close to the parks and will have a car.

The 2 bedroom units at Orange Lake and Vistana Resort are amazing! I could live there all winter. There are 2 queen beds in one bedroom and a king in the other. Also fold-out sofa. Full kitchen, laundry, living room, dining area, porch. 2 lovely baths

4:42pm by snowdiz

I'll second Windsor Hills. We've stayed there close to 10 times. Can't beat the value, space, cleanliness (read individual reviews) and proximity to the parks!

I'm at Pop and put in a connecting room - I feel really silly not knowing this, but how do the connecting doors lock/unlock? I'm assuming there is some security mechanism and they don't just open freely?

Anyone been to the zip line at gatorland? DD15 loves a good zip line. I will not be riding it!!

3:52pm by mary32830

I assume the zip line travels over the gators? ;)

5:18pm by JJT (staff)

My only knowledge of it is from a Handyman Hal video but it looks fun! And yes, over the gators, @JJT!

5:32pm by HalfBludPrincess

We were there but didn't do the ZIpline. Not a chance, since I don't even do Skyliner!

5:34pm by snowdiz

Woohoo. Just finished last long run. 10 miles at 13:00 min/mile average pace over some hilly terrain. Think I will be able to make Princess Half distance. Knee steroid injection by DH Sunday helped. Thanks for all your support. I don't have friends/family

This one is really about 22% under median if you limit the comparison to 4-nights or longer, which are a rarer listing: 4-night CC Studio 12/01 for $406/night or 18% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10048526

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

This thread is so dangerous. Looking for something between 2/21-2/24 and ended up with that 3 night SSR 9/6. Great deal, assuming I get to use it, lol.

5:19pm on 2/5/26 by ToddlerOfTerror

Sorry @Toddler, this one is off by a week. Excellent price for BC in February! 4-night BC Studio 02/14 for $368/night or 23% under median https://www.dvcstore.com/pre-booked-form.cfm?IDNumber=1280

10:24am on 2/6/26 by JJT (staff)

No worries. That is a good deal but I target the ones that are under $200 a night.

3:44pm on 2/6/26 by ToddlerOfTerror

Yep. You got me again, JJT. I'm now booked for BLT in July. Even with my AP discount, it was only about $100 more than my stay at ALL STAR SPORTS!

6:10pm on 2/7/26 by JJT (staff)

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:

12:34pm on 2/8/26 by JJT (staff)

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!

4-night Poly Studio 06/06 for $454/night or 13% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10048810

12:17pm on 2/17/26 by JJT (staff)

This one appeared on 2/7 & was gone 2/10, but must have fallen through or something because IT'S BACK! 4-night Poly Studio 08/31 for $403/night or 18% under https://dvc-rental.com/confirmed-reservation/?_resort=Polynesian%20Villas&dvc_id=DVC1916

12:18pm on 2/17/26 by JJT (staff)

Another listing that requires a little analysis to show it is a GRAB IT NOW LISTING if you want to stay there in December! See forum for more, but TL;DR low chance we'll see many more AKJ listings at this price point in Dec!

Price Drop: 4-night AK Jambo Studio 12/06 orig $410/night now $358/n or 14% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/animal-kingdom-villas-495301

8:13pm on 2/18/26 by JJT (staff)

This one is PDN - PRETTY DARN NICE for March. Very unlikely we'll see another like this for that time frame. 2-night BLT Studio 03/03 for $420/night or 17% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ0000033WUfYAM

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

Last minute & a 1-nighter, but a smoking deal! 1-night AK Jambo Studio 02/24 orig $246/night now $222/n or 38% under median https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/animal-kingdom-villas-506871

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...

9:01pm on 2/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Glad you're able to unbork it, @jjt. Thanks again for such a great resource!

AMAZING price for an 8-night rental! 8-night AK Kidani Studio 06/27 for $288/night or 21% under median https://dvcrequest.com/bookings/rebook/10048879

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.

7:33pm on 2/22/26 by JJT (staff)

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.

7:46pm on 2/22/26 by JJT (staff)

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

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

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

Tied for the lowest April Riv 1BR recorded... 2-night Riviera 1 Bedroom 04/19 for $530/night or 47% under median https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fVJ0000035BdpYAE

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 by JJT (staff)

New: 1-night SSR Studio 02/26 for $238/night or 26% under https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/saratoga-springs-509899

9:05am 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 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 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 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...

Good evening! My husband doesn't have an AP, but the rest of us do. We are going to WDW in 2 weeks for 3 days then getting on the Dream for 4. We plan to buy 160 add on points at Riviera whilst on the cruise. QUESTION: Can I upgrade his park ticket (1/2)

12:32am by kslawyergirl

That quickly after buying Riviera DVC. Will they load the points within a week?

1:16pm by kslawyergirl

Buying direct almost certainly. Mine were almost immediately (as in before I had finished paying for it.)

3:07pm by popupcamper

I think I had my last direct contract points a day after I added the contract. (Before all paperwork was signed).
