While there are not a ton of data points for this Hotel/Inn room in May specifically, when looking at all dates it is unusual to see prices at or below this one!

This is the lowest price for a 7-night in Oct recorded since 2024 and one of the lowest multi-nights no matter how you slice it.

Based on past data, do not expect to see many (if any) more December listings for this room at this price point.

For April, a good price if one needs a filler day:

While not a “cheap” price, for April this is a very solid price ESPECIALLY for a 6-nighter:
It is the lowest April >=6-night recorded for this room.
6-night Poly Studio 04/26 for $508/night or 22% under median

The monthly median is kind of squishy on this room as there are not many data points, but FWIW this price is tied for the lowest in May.
5-night HH 2 Bedroom 05/03 for $660/night or 22% under median
When comparing to all dates, this price is right at median.
There are only a few times a year where this room tends to appear below this and it ain’t between March and October!

oh! 5-nights at HHI sounds so dreamy!
But that’s quite a price tag. I had no idea how $$$ it was there!
We had a sweetheart deal in December.

Looks like this is back to some degree. More restrictive than it has been over the last few months, but less restrictive than when it was first enabled. Any noticeable effects on your end?
Looking good for me as far as I see.
Back when it first happened, I ended up having to add a user agent to my curl command to get it through the gate and no issues since. FWIW, I’m pulling the raw html with that, then using a python script to locally extract the listings from that output file so I’m probably a minimal hit on the server.

Same. I think now it’s a more basic level of detection & challenging. A longer cool down is probably the easy solution.

At this point I’m refreshing every 2 hours from 8AM-8PM, while I might miss some fast movers I feel like I’m probably catching most listings.
are you hitting it a lot more often?

I review all listings at the same rate a normal user might

we are not normal so i probably have no valid frame of reference. 
I’m guessing we’re not the problem to them, probably some other botty sites causing issues.
In reality we’re a positive to them since we just point back to them to book their listings!

IMHO, at this late date the GF listing should be shaving off a few more 
, but still VERY nice price for the month that’s in it and is 2nd lowest 6-nighter recorded for that room in March.
Kidani price is a home run: lowest recorded price for May.

Could they be trying to thwart an effort from Disney to track listings?
Oh, I don’t know.

@f1rstxlas7 A fun one:
Just noticed DVCShop modified this listing and kept the same ID: It now starts a day earlier, goes 1 day longer at a higher daily price.
