I've contacted Dreams Unlimited and it looks like we'd get about $150 OBC, it is worth it to transfer for the $150 or are there times when it's just easier/better to keep the reservation direct w/ DCL?
We are in the same situation and are finally going to try it. We have never booked through a ta and have done many cruises. The worst thing seems to be the pricing changing before the ta gets to make the booking, but if you are already booked it seems like you don't have much to loose. If anyone has any experience with this, would love to hear too.I've contacted Dreams Unlimited and it looks like we'd get about $150 OBC, it is worth it to transfer for the $150 or are there times when it's just easier/better to keep the reservation direct w/ DCL?
I am not understanding, what do you mean by giving up control to the TA? Don't they just book it for you and you can call/go online to Disney for all the little things like excursions?
Only you can answer that question. "Worth it" is a very personal thing. For me, I think it's worth it because that's $150 I can use that I wouldn't have otherwise. But other people may find the $150 OBC isn't enough to give up control of their reservation.
For some reason I thought with DU you make the payments yourself through their website. Is that incorrect?I think for the $150 I'll just keep it myself, I like being able to make small regular payments and would feel like a bother doing that w/ a TA.
You can pay with giftcards through DUCan you pay with Disney gift cards through a TA? I'm eyeing Dreams Unlimited and Small World Vacations.
You can also get a Disney Vacation Account, then you can make your own payments. Typically there isn't much too change after you initially book and a TA will watch if the price goes down before final payment.Payments and any changes to the reservation must be made through the travel agent. But you can do online check-in and book adult dining and excursions directly.
