book a WDW package or do it separately

[dumby]

How does every one else book their trip. The last time I went we book everything separately, which was cheaper but more work. I just wondered what the majority of you suggest and why. What about with dining?

Thanks for your info
Dumby in Alabama

We book room only. We eat offsite and counter service so dining is not that important to us.

I'm wondering the same thing because last year I booked everything separately bu tthis time around I am toying with the idea of booking a package with dining and tickets.

I've priced it through AAA and it's about $400 cheaper than booking the pkg through the disney website.

I also wondered about booking through AAA. I am not a member but would join if it would save me money on our trip.

Any thoughts out there>>>>>>>

Well - here's what I was quoted just fyi...
10nights Garden view at Polynesian (10/4-10/14, 2006)
7 day park hopper, non expriring premium tickets
dining plan

Disney Website $4800.80
AAA $4458.00

So, it's about $350 less going through AAA. That's with no discounts of any type. If anything comes up through Disney they will apply it to my ressie (I haven't booked yet but probably will through AAA in less than a month).

Deposit is $225 and the remainder due I think 45 days out from arrival

Bumping this up. Hoping for some response.
