Booking advice (TA rec's welcome)

[dwbrewster]

Posted earlier on someone else's thread but now I have more questions and figured a thread with my questions wouldn't hurt (sorry). A couple of questions - interested in thoughts.

So we were planning on trying to sneak a visit in during spring break but that just wasn't going to work out flight wise. We are now tossing around going in late June (23-29ish) or early July (7-13ish) and staying at CBR. Pro's and con's of either? I know they are both hot and as long as you avoid 4th of July week they seem like they'd be about the same crowd wise.

I am also figuring that while I kind of know what I'm doing I think having an TA would be helpful, particularly if any discounts become available. The general consensus of my research is that it's not necessarily the agency but the actual TA you are assigned. Any recommendations for who to go with from Dreams Unlimited. Obviously as a listener to the show Kevin, Kathy, and Teresa seem like they would be great, but do they get inundated with requests and/or only handle the bigger requests?

Another clarification, I have read that all changes need to go through your agent - I am guessing that is related to your package not your ADR's and FP+...correct?

Correct.

If you read here already, do you follow the discount codes forum? If you do, then you would know when discounts come out as well.

As for which TA...I’d just talk to one and see what level of service they would provide you with. If all you want us to watch for discounts, I can’t inagine there will be much difficulty there.

Thanks bumbershoot, I think I'd look for some guidance on which reservations and FP+ are possible when (though I can also get that here) - I don't follow the discount codes forum - I'll have to monitor that.
