Any advice in booking a WDW vaction? Use a travel agent, call Disney to book it, or use expedia? Taking my 14 yr old neice for a graduation present.

We used www.dreamsunlimited.com
The specialize in WDW.
Go to www.disboards.com for ALL the info you'll ever want on WDW.

While I've normally booked directly w/ WDW, I would encourage you to check out www.mousesavers.com for all the best deals available.

I have "done" Disney about 30 times & use the web sites listed below, I still learn something every time I visit them.

Mousesavers.com as mentioned above is also a great site. The Readers Clubhouse is a forum where you can ask specific questions ("how can I eat breakfast with Cinderella & the princess' at the castle") & you will get specific answers.

Your Magical Journeys web site specializes in WDW. Nancy (Tink1) can also be found giving discount codes for rooms & advice in the Readers Clubhouse.

Jeanne, if you can take just one more site to explore, we found www.mousecodes.com a good one; it gives you special code numbers which you can quote directly to the Disney people when making reservations, for sometimes terrific discounts (late last year, we got the All-Star for $59 a night.) Some of the codes are restricted to ceratin groups: AAA members, teachers, etc... but others are open to all. Good luck!

Thanks sooo much !!!

Oh, I forgot to post a real nice deal that the Swan & Dolphin have if you are a teacher or a gov't employee. You can get a $99 a night rate if you are a teacher or a gov't employee. I've stayed at the Swan 3x using that rate & have always been satisfied. They are not "Disney owned" hotels but you recieve the same benefits plus they have a wonderful boat that will take you to Epcot &/or MGM. There are also pathways to walk to either park from the hotel.

Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Disney - some dates for $20.02 per night (mostly for Sun - Thur.) Learn more about that deal (on the Alerts page) and the theme parks at www.orlandotripplanner.com (Orlando Trip Planner.com)

Swan/Dolphin teacher, nurse,government rate has gone up to $149 a night.

Where does a person go to book the Swan/Dolphin (teacher, nurse, etc.) deal?

dcp,
Go to www.disboards.com and click on the specials listed for swan and dolphin. Or go to www.dreamsunlimited.com Great deals of hotels and they specialize in Disney.
