1-night Poly Studio (Duo) 09/11 for $336/night or 32% under median
1-night Poly Studio 08/27 for $400/night or 24% under
3-night Poly Studio 09/25 for $336/night or 36% under
Some new July 1-nighters in early refresh today: Jambo for $270, a pair of BW studios for $297.
8-night BW Studio 09/13 for $339/night or 18% under
Looking at all listings 2-nights or longer in Sept, I’d say this is a solid price, no question.
If you ratchet down to 4-nights or longer, looks even better.
…down to 7-nights or longer this one is the lowest recorded for that month since 2023.
Also, have not seen any 6-night or longer listings for this room in Sept any closer than 100 days out, as this one is.
New:
4-night OKW Studio 09/14 for $180/night or 37% under
THREE identical Price Drops, just spaced 1 week apart, sequentially:
6-night OKW Studio 09/06 orig $300/night now $222/n or 22% under median
6-night OKW Studio 09/13 orig $300/night now $222/n or 22% median
6-night OKW Studio 09/20 orig $300/night now $222/n or 22% median
6-night AK Jambo 2 Bedroom 07/24 orig $828/night now $644/n or 32% under median
There have been a grand total of THREE 2BR Jambo rentals in July since 2023.
The other two were 4-nighters and priced at $800/n and ~$1180/n.
So, this is kinda a big deal.
Looking at all dates for 2-nights or longer, there have been a few lower in other time frames, but this one is lowest price for 6-nights or longer.
Price Drops:
These are some rock bottom prices for BC in January!
3-night BC Studio 01/04 orig $315/night now $300/n or 36% under median
4-night BC Studio 01/12 orig $315/night now $300/n or 36% median

Lowest price recorded for this room in June since 2023 - but also, only 9 in that specific month.
Even when looking at all listings for this room, lowest summer price and only a few lower in Sept and after new year.
5-night AK Kidani Studio 07/27 for $252/night or 28% under
Just about as low as you’d expect to see this time of year, and pretty much any time outside of Sept, especially for a 5-night listing.
July specific charts:
Which is so weird. Because this particular room (duo) didn’t exist until Dec 2024
That Kidani price is nice tho
Super Nice Price Drop:
1-night BLT 1 Bedroom 07/06 orig $775/night now $434/n or 48% under median
1-night OKW Studio 09/21 for $171/night or 40% under
Price Drop:
5-night Aulani 2 Bedroom 02/08 orig $1,225/night now $1,127/n or 24% under median
While you might see a better price for this room, fairly unlikely since I’ve only recorded 15 total listings for this room in Feb since 2023 - AND if you are looking for a 5-night or longer, the only other listings were this price or higher.
Just checked direct cash price for this room: $1923/night after tax.
Not suggesting you add this data (which would probably double your data pulling requirements ) but it would be interesting to see what the average % of direct cash is. 25% under median DVC rental price is pretty good, but ~40% under cash is the real reason people should be exploring rental as an option! (And buying resale points can be even more economical.)
Yes, that is often my stance - owners love to talk price per point, but as a non-owner much of the time I really care more about savings vs normal avenues.
You definitely want to make sure a dedicated rental isn’t going for something higher than you could get with a specific rental request, which does happen a lot and makes no sense. But even if it was, 40% under cash is a serious win.
I really wish Disney’s cash site room prices were easily scrape-able, but not within my current techniques.
Guess one could find the published rack rates and then apply any current discounts for the dates and assume that is close enough(?) Not sure, but I already probably refresh all this data and crunch the numbers too much already.
Exactly! I think it is incumbent upon the user to do their own math and see the savings for themselves. (Or ensure they’re not overpaying.)
Unusual Listing Price Drop:
12-night AK Jambo 1 Bedroom 08/11 orig $500/night now $479/n or 17% under median
Note - I ran an overall median calculation refresh recently after not doing so for awhile - they weren’t really changing much so I kind of let it go. Looks like the median for Jambo 1BRs really shifted, which I don’t really see much! But, is a lower volume room type, so guess that’s maths for you.
In reality: for August specifically, this price is right near median - but this is the sole 12-nighter, to think what you will.
3-night VB Hotel/Inn 07/18 for $224/night or 18% under
Been awhile since seeing a good VB!
Have only recorded FOUR studio listings in July since 2023 and the lowest was for $353/night.
There have been 24 Hotel/Inn rooms and this one is BY FAR the lowest recorded in July.
6-night AK Jambo Studio 08/10 for $255/night or 23% under
That is a pretty terrific price for a 6-night - here’s the price by days out for all listings 2-nights or longer followed by 6-nights or longer.
NARRATOR: THERE AIN’T MANY LOWER 6-NIGHTERS
1-night OKW Studio 08/17 for $198/night or 30% under
This is actually a wee bit tempting!
I need 8/10-8/14.
That is a good price!
