We have gone to Disney many, many times and we always book directly through Disney. You can get any and all codes and discounts applied by booking through Disney, you don't need a travel agent to do that. And, if you book through a TA you don't "own" your reservations and any reservations you might need to make have to be done through them as a middle man.Where is the best place to book a resort and tickets? And by "best" I mean cheapest? I have heard not to do the disney packages because you really don't save any money that way.
