Is it better to book my disney hotel through disney, a travel agency, or an online website such as travelocity expedia etc. Pros and cons would be nice! Thanks DISers!

Mainly she just wasn't knowledgeable about Disney at all and so I decided to do everything on my own. While it makes me a little nervous to do everything, I have to say the agents at Disney have been awesome. They answer every one of my silly questions and they do it with so much patience. Also when you use a TA, the reservation belongs to them. This means you can't call Disney and do anything with your reservation at all. I didn't like that. So...that was a lot of rambling to tell you that I'm planning the trip with Disney on my own, and I feel pretty comfortably doing so. Happy planning!

However, I went to Disney three weeks ago with my best friend to celebrate our graduation from high school and we planned and booked our whole trip. We booked everything directly through Disney. We used a package which included 6 nights at Caribbean beach, seven day park hopper and water park add on tickets, the dining plan, and our plane tickets for 3,052 dollars, which to us definitely seemed like a steal. AAA package price was 4,225 with the same options. We were very happy with the service Disney gave and loved every minute of it.

The prices she got at the exact same ones as I could have gotten on line but she kept watch for the promo I wanted, resort I wanted, etc and took care of all the details. If prices or a better deal would have come up she would have applied the discount and then let me know I saved money without me having to do anything I ended up booking my own ADR's but she was willing to get up at the crack of dawn at my 180 day mark to get me the ressies I wanted.
If you'd like my TA's information feel free to PM me
