Every change we have made to Cheap Disney World Hotels

This is the complete record of every approved change to the figures on the cheap Disney World hotels guide. We publish it because a price guide is only useful if you can trust the numbers. Trust is easier when you can see the work. Each entry shows what changed, when, and the source that justified it.

The promises behind this page are on the Circuit page.

Listed here are figures that moved, figures we checked and found unchanged, and figures added, retired or reclassified. Not listed are the housekeeping rows behind them, a corrected source link or a refreshed date, which change no published figure. The JSON file carries all of it, including those.

230 entries, newest first, of which 188 changed a published figure. Oldest figure verified .

  • ChangedWyndham Gardenresort fee40.50 to 36sourceRead from the operatorCorrects a figure this proposal path published in error on September 10, 2026. The hotel's fee notice quotes "$40.50", but the Total for Stay breakdown for the same booking itemises it as "Resort Fee 36.00 Plus Tax $40.50 USD", so $36.00 is the fee and $40.50 is the same fee with Florida tax on top. This page publishes every figure before tax, so the pre-tax $36.00 is the correct value and $40.50 double counts the tax that true cost already excludes. The full folio confirms the arithmetic: room $130.00, fees $40.50, taxes $16.25, total $186.75, with 36 x 1.125 = 40.50 and the $16.25 being 12.5 percent of the $130.00 room rate alone.
  • ChangedWyndham Gardenresort fee36 to 40.50sourceRead from the operatorRead from the hotel's own room list on September 10, 2026, for a one night stay on October 13, two adults. The page states: "This hotel charges a Resort Fee of $40.50 per night. If searching by price, you'll see this fee included in the room rate displayed below." That replaces the $36 figure, which came from ResortFeeChecker and was never read from Wyndham. Note for the rate reading that follows: Wyndham shows fee-inclusive rates on price searches, so a room rate taken from a price-sorted list already contains this $40.50 and must not have it added again in true cost.

Each page carries a verified date that reflects the oldest fact on it, so the stamp moves backwards when a source has not been re-checked, never forward on its own." The new definition replaces that single date with three lines, an Updated date from the last approved value change, a count of price figures verified in the last 30 days out of the total, and the oldest verified date demoted to the third line. The single oldest-date badge understated how much checking was happening and rewarded chasing one stale row over useful verification. The old sentence had also stopped being accurate on 2026-09-09, when fact_class shipped and the stamp began reading price facts rather than every fact.

The old definition was the published rate card figure for a DVC Deluxe Studio, Resort View, taken from a third-party rate chart and converted from tax inclusive to pre tax. The new definition is the lowest nightly Standard Rate bookable on Disney's own booking engine for that resort and date window, for two adults, in a room type that sleeps at least four, read first party, pre tax. We changed it because DVC Deluxe Studios are member inventory. Disney would not sell one at any of the three resorts for Christmas week 2026, so the old definition described a price no guest could pay. Disclosing the direction. This change increases the apparent savings of renting DVC points against rack, and we made it because the old figure described a room no guest could buy. We also considered defining rack at four guests to match a Deluxe Studio's capacity. We rejected it. Disney prices by occupancy, so a four-guest rule would have raised every rack figure and increased apparent savings again. Point rentals cost the same whatever the party size, so the two-adult rate is the conservative floor and larger parties save more than we show.

  • Changedrack beach club low567 to 634sourceRead from the operatorRead on Disney's own Room Rates page for Disney's Beach Club Resort on 2026-09-09, offer type Room, 2 adults, Tue 08/24/2027 to Sun 08/29/2027: Resort View, Standard Rate $633.60 USD Avg/Night Excl Tax, the cheapest bookable room type sleeping at least four (Water View $746.20, Deluxe Room $808.60). Rounded to the dollar for consistency with the other rack figures; edit to 633.60 if you prefer the exact quote. Replaces 567, which came from a MouseSavers villa rate card and was approved in error before the rack definition changed. The resort carries a refurbishment notice.
  • Changedrack grand floridian low811 to 811.20sourceRead from the operatorPrecision correction, no new reading. Disney quoted Resort View at $811.20 USD Avg/Night Excl Tax for Tue 08/24/2027 to Sun 08/29/2027, 2 adults, and the figure was stored rounded to 811. Facts hold the exact quote; rounding belongs to display.
  • Changedrack polynesian low650 to 762.40sourceRead from the operatoreditor set the valueDefinition amended to require comparable occupancy (sleeps at least 4). Duo Studio sleeps 2, so the cheapest comparable room is the Tower Deluxe Studio Resort View at $762.40 for Aug 24 to 29, 2027, per the evidence on this proposal.
  • Changedrack grand floridian low750 to 811sourceRead from the operatorRead on Disney's own Room Rates page on 2026-09-09, offer type Room, 2 adults: Resort View, Standard Rate $811.20 USD Avg/Night Excl Tax for Tue 08/24/2027 to Sun 08/29/2027, the cheapest bookable room in that window (Water View $843.60). Two low season windows were tested and the lower was taken: mid January 2027 (01/12 to 01/17) quoted the same Resort View at $864.20. Every Deluxe Studio and villa was unavailable in both windows, so this is the cheapest cash room Disney will sell, per the rack definition. Only two offers matched this window, Room and Package, so no Florida resident offer was in play.

Replaces the rate tracker proposal for the same figure so the fact cites the hotel rather than a third party. The stored source was an orlbvhh slug belonging to a different property.

  • Changedrack polynesian high850 to 1219sourceRead from the operatorRead on Disney's own Room Rates page for Disney's Polynesian Village Resort on 2026-09-09, 12/24/2026 to 12/30/2026, 2 adults, offer type Room: Resort View, Standard Rate $1,219.00 USD Avg/Night Excl Tax, the cheapest bookable room. Water View quoted $1,285 and Theme Park View was unavailable. Every Deluxe Studio, Tower studio, Duo studio, bungalow and villa read unavailable for the dates, which is why a villa studio rate card figure is no longer the basis for this fact. Taken on a single clean read before an offer selection later pinned a Florida resident context to the browser; that context was separately shown not to affect the Standard Rate, because selecting the Florida offer removes inventory rather than discounting. Caveat: the resort carries a construction and refurbishment notice, which suppresses inventory.
  • Changedrack grand floridian high900 to 1339sourceRead from the operatorRead on Disney's own Room Rates page for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa on 2026-09-09, 12/24/2026 to 12/30/2026, 2 adults, offer type Room: Water View, Standard Rate $1,339.00 USD Avg/Night Excl Tax. It was the only bookable room; the other 25 room types, including every Deluxe Studio and villa, read unavailable for the dates. Reproduced on a second read after clearing all site local and session storage. Florida resident pricing was ruled out: selecting the Holiday Room Offer for Florida Residents removed the Water View and returned 26 unavailable room types, so a Florida offer subtracts inventory rather than discounting the Standard Rate, and the browser was never signed in. Caveat: the resort carries a refurbishment notice, which suppresses inventory, so the bookable set is thinner than normal.

Cross-check: Tue Sep 22 to Sun Sep 27 2026 quoted the same suite at $220 including the charge ($195 room), so early November is the lower of the two windows read.
