ok, so now that we've decided

[Briar Rose 7457]

we're doing the Poly during President's week.

how soon can I book the trip?

and should I do it myself or use a travel agent? if so, which one?

I've always found it cheaper to book things myself . . .

You can reserve your resort now . . .the 2003 prices have not come out yet, but you'll be adjusted accordingly . . .also there are no discount codes out yet . . .I would reserve now and if something comes out to discount you, just re-book . . .

If you don't want to book things yourself, try Dreams Unlimited, I have not personally used them, but from these boards they are supposed to be fantastic.

I would also try and do it yourself....that's half the fun! We were able to get better rates on each aspect of our trip last summer than had we used a travel agent. It does take time tho...so if you can't do it I would agree with trying Dreams Unlimited also. You will have a wonderful trip either way!

DO NOT book through the official Disney site! You can only get package deals that probably will include stuff that you are paying for but will not have time to use. It is a rip off.

We always either book ourselves or go with Dream Unlimited. They are awesome. The best part is they will make your PS's for you so you don't have to call long distance AND they have lots of tricks for getting you into tough PS's. (Our agent - Kelsie) got us into Cindy's for breakfast!!!!)


have fun!
