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.

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.<BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>Your Magical Journeys web site specializes in WDW. Nancy (Tink1) can also be found giving discount codes for rooms & advice in the Readers Clubhouse.<BR><BR>http://www.wdwig.com/contents.htm<BR><BR>http://www.ReadersClubhouse.com/link/utilidor.html<BR><BR>http://www.ourlaughingplace.com/olpdefault.asp<BR><BR>http://www.yourmagicaljourneys.com/

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)
