matter of personal preference
never saw the value or need for a TA in all of years of extensive travel and travel for work via world tours
but we booked this past year our wedding cruise for us and all of our guest with
Dreams Unlimited Travel...and boy we now know the value of using a TA
Tracey H with Dreams is amazing and very knowledgeable even for uber Disney self proclaimed experts as ourselves
she brought so much to the table...we could have never done it all without her. So many great tips and suggestions.
and nice to know when life gets busy...you have someone you can turn to for help
also peace of mind knowing that they monitor prices and will alert you if price lowers or a promo comes out that you can take advantage of. Just takes allot of time and effort to do that on your own.
we were still able to book all of our excursions and so forth on the
DCL prior to our cruise
though Tracey was there to do all of that for us...but I sill like the waiting around 5 minutes before booking window opens...refreshing that page...to grab those popular things that book out so quick
we also like the fact that
Dreams Unlimited (and some other TA) offer onboard credits for booking with them
always nice to have a few extra bucks on your stateroom account. Our guest loved their credits too...we had a number of couples who walked off the ship not paying DCL another cent past their original cruise fare (thanks to their Dreams OBC)
While using a TA is up to you
we certainly highly recommend Dreams Unlimited (sponsor and owner of Dis Board & The Dis Podcast)
