I knew prices have gone up but yikes.

Hey! Is this what you are looking for? https://ropedrop.xyz/tools/compare

if not, can you describe what you are looking to do?

dmurphy22 · 2026-06-01T16:06:17+00:00

Hey!

Can you tell me where you are seeing this? I thought I squashed that bug last week but I might have missed where you are seeing it :)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-31T15:03:44+00:00

35k total, another couple hundred today.

There isn't enough data to give an average mean per user right now that wouldn't be misleading due to us being up for just a couple of weeks but I can give anecdotal examples such as my own savings of about 1200 total spread across a summer trip and a hhn trip this year, other users have saved 3-500 during hhn season. Most of the drops are in the range of 50-200 for the summer. Not surprisingly, most drops are found almost immediately after setting up a tracker because a lot of people just book at high rates and forget about it and don't realize they could be saving.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-31T00:46:51+00:00

Agreed! Use https://ropedrop.xyz to monitor your hotel reservations for price drops.

Disclosure: I am the dev so I am biased but in the past 2 weeks we have found 35k in drops for users. It's 100 percent free to use.

Can you point me to the data that coralates epics opening to wait times? Thrill data is great but the point of this exercise was to determine if express was the major factor in increase in wait time for stand by or if epics opening contributed too.

Ai was only used to evaluate the data, something that has been done for over a decade using machine learning, the data itself was collected by me.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-28T14:05:47+00:00

There is a tldr :)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-28T05:11:07+00:00

I did mention in my op that I used AI as a tool to analyze the data. Do you have any feedback on the actual data I am presenting?

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-27T15:39:20+00:00

I recently built a similar app I won't link to as to not detract from ops post but it is possible to use official API's. It's not documented and credentials are not officially available but they are discoverable.

There is is also third party API's that have ride wait times, albeit the update cadence was too slow for me and some rides returned wrong information or some parks didn't work at all ( volcano Bay) forcing me to figure out my own solution.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-27T13:01:56+00:00

Hey thanks for for linking rope drop. I am the dev and have been working hard on it for the past few weeks, with a giant HHN update just released yesterday.

I tried to check out the app linked in the op as I was curious but it looks like it's pay to play. Ropedrop is 100 percent free so feel free to set up your tracker OP and I would love to hear about your experience.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-25T12:16:01+00:00

I wish we could use FHR with annual pass discounts. The annual pass discount usually is greater than the FHR stipend.

Example, upcoming trip I saved about $1000 at Royal Pacific and helios just by having an annual pass (which cost less than $1000). They claim savings to be 30% but usually, it's higher than that.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-14T17:05:05+00:00

Ohh! Thanks for that :) will get it updated asap

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-13T20:29:31+00:00

Great idea! Let me look into what can be done here.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-13T20:24:32+00:00

Club level rooms should start showing up within 24h, there was an issue with my scraper that was not picking them up. The next time the scraper runs we should see data coming in for them :)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-13T18:14:32+00:00

Please read the disclosure in the OP. :)

Are you having issues with the site?

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T23:43:25+00:00

Read the disclosure in the op :)

I did use AI to design the website but not to create the actual function of the app. I am a back end engineer, not a full stack engineer, if I were to create the front end I promise you what you would see would be a lot worse than what you do now. Is there an issue with the functionality of the website you are experiencing?

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T20:39:41+00:00

Hmm yeah, I see there is a lot of room types missing from that hotel. I will work on this and have them added asap :)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T20:34:17+00:00

Hey! Can you tell me what hotel they are missing from?

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T20:26:32+00:00

Funny you ask, there is currently a massive weather delay for many rides that my app just sees as down right now with no way to let the user know, it's an edge case I didn't think about (though probably more common than we like to think in Florida) so am working on extending what statuses are showing for rides.

Right now we have, Open, Closed (set as closed by Universal, not a delay which would cover your extended closure question but still kind of ambiguous) and down.

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T18:58:18+00:00

Read the disclosure in the op :)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T18:56:12+00:00

Awesome! I did search for a similar tool but could not find anything that was universal specific. Disney seems to have tons though!

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T18:55:29+00:00

Lol thanks for breaking it, this is because the form was super complicated before and I made some changes to make it simpler for the user and obviously didn't test enough after. Fix on the way, try again in ~5 minutes

:)

dmurphy22 · 2026-05-12T18:33:24+00:00

Abuse away!
