Last minute, especially for Hawaii, but excepting a couple of crazy rando listings, this is at the bottom of recorded prices for this room - and it is ocean view!
3-night Aulani 1 Bedroom Ocean View 06/11 orig $1,100/night now $900/n or 15% under median
This listing is OVER median compared to all other August Kidani studios since 2024.
BUT, out of curiosity I checked:
23 of the total 117 August Kidani Studio listings have been Savannah view.
The median price of just those listings is $374 - so this one is technically under median when you do a pure apples to apples comparison.
4-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 08/30 orig $360/night now $345/n or 7% OVER median
Oh yes, this makes a significant difference. It’s practically two different resorts - one Standard, one Savannah View.
About as low as it goes for Grand Cali in October!
3-night Grand Californian Studio 10/20 for $480/night or 13% under median
How it compares vs all dates:
Another Price Drop for this Listing!
6-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 07/12 orig $312/night now $255/n or 30% under median
This one had its ups and downs over time…
As you can see from the count box on bottom right - quite an uptick in 6-night or greater this year. It doesn’t look like there are a lot of dots on the chart because many of them were 100% duplicates of each other.
this kills me
why did DD have to go and graduate and get a grown up job??
This is right over her birthday
Kids are so selfish.
Another great Kidani price - check out the charts in previous reply for reference.
2-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 07/19 for $252/night or 31% under median
Couple of terrific 1-nighter fillers!
1-night Grand Floridian Studio 07/19 for $324/night or 31% under median
1-night Boardwalk Villas Studio 07/26 for $288/night or 26% under median
Sadly I was too slow to post a terrific $336/n Oct BW studio - appeared in the 6PM refresh and was gone by 8PM.
More price drops for these two:
7-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 07/12 orig $393/night now $271/n or 25% under median
7-night Animal Kingdom Jambo Studio 07/18 orig $393/night now $271/n or 16% under median
These both dropped again today!
7-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 07/12 orig $393/night now $232/n or 36% under median
7-night Animal Kingdom Jambo Studio 07/18 orig $393/night now $236/n or 27% under median
What a steal!
| ANOTHER DO IT NOW ALERT. Unprecedented price for a Grand Cali Studio! |

2-night Grand Californian Studio 07/14 for $338/night or 53% under median
vs All Dates for reference:
There’s always a chance we’ll see a few more low priced July OKW listings, but there were only 3 last year after this point in the year.
2-night Old Key West Studio 07/26 for $242/night or 11% under median
Zee deal, she is gone.
But, interesting to see the price difference between this and another Grand Cali that appeared today.
Not the lowest Boardwalk price recorded, but a very respectable deal!
Good chance we’ll see at least a few more at this price or below as October approaches.
3-night Boardwalk Villas Studio 10/01 for $425/night or 12% under median
Haven’t seen any August Grand Flo rooms priced lower this year, would not expect to see many if any more show up!
2-night Grand Floridian Studio 08/08 for $410/night or 16% under median
Similar to above: Haven’t seen many August Kidani rooms priced lower this year & would not expect to see many if any more, Fuggetabout a 5-nighter.
5-night Animal Kingdom Kidani Studio 08/23 for $294/night or 9% under median
UPDATED This one with new 5% Price Banding Counts - see charts at bottom.
An argument for booking an “only” 10% under median listing 11 months out: even with a bump in the number of longer listings this year, just not that many 5-nights or longer appearing within the same range as this $459 price!
(…and now I’m writing a formula to show me how many listings each year are within 5% above/below the price of the highlighted listing in my sheet. Having some weird issue with my sumproduct formula and the year() function combo though.)
5-night Polynesian Villas Studio 05/02 for $459/night or 10% under median
Added later:
I’ve added another column to the counts table I sometimes include on the bottom right. Does make the chart a little busy, so probably won’t include all the time but do think the count adds some value.
Total column in that table counts the number of listings for this Resort/ Room Type / Month and minimum number of nights entered for each year.
Within 5% column filters that count down to just the number of listings that were within 5% of the highlighted listing price.
So, in this instance, when looking at 2-nights or longer there were 162 Poly studios in May 2026 and 24 of them were within the $459 listing price of this deal.
When limiting to 5-nights or longer there were only 70 listings in total and only 10 of those were within 5% of that price.
Helps give a better picture than the dots on charts alone since some rental sites LOVE to list multiple duplicate listings at the same price and start dates.
vs 2-nights or longer:
vs 5-nights or longer:
…AND I’ve already rethought that “Within” column: I’ve changed it to count any listings that are 105% or LOWER than the highlighted listing.
If there happened to be a bunch of listings more than 5% cheaper than the current one, I kind of want to know that when trying to decide whether it might be better to book this one or wait.
Also, that 5% is changeable in my chart generation sheet, but for now I think making the comparison ceiling 5% above the listing is a decent place to go with.
Next listing in the thread should have the new table.
