Anyone booked through these guys? http://www.tothemagic.net/

There prices are v.v.cheap but their website looks a tad dodgy?

They don't appear to be part of ABTA or ATOL which would defo stop me using them, unless you guys have had good experiences?

Last time anyone asked about this operator no one had heard about them.
I'm with you. Without the bonding I'd be giving my money to some one else

Never heard of them - sorry

Never heard of them, never seen them advertised, and when i went through the booking process I got as far as the payment page and it wasn't a secure site.

It does say something about a bonded bank account and regulated in some way, but can't see anything about ABTA or ATOL.

I wouldn't. up to you though!

Found that in the terms & conditions. Haven't heard of them or booked with them though.

To be honest even if the company had glowing references from here I still wouldn't use them if they were not ATOL or ABTA members.

Past performance is not necessarily proof of future performance.

For anybody interested, it would appear that W1803 is Walt Disney World, suggesting that they act as a broker and book direct. There's no listing for Yabop themselves on the ABTA site though.

ATOL number is for Greatdays Holidays Ltd of Cheshire. Don't know if the companies are related

Don't know anyone who's been with them. Considering the current financial climate best to be very careful who you book with. Also remember to pay with a cc if possible as that gives some protection.
