Booking question

[gavsmom]

when planning your DL trip, do you book everything through the Disney website or do you book hotels/tickets etc... separately? Any advice would be great. Along with good places to stay. Thanks!

This thread has great advice about choosing a hotel at DLR: www.disboards.com/threads/choosing-the-right-hotel-for-you.3656512/.

Most people here recommend booking things separately to save the most money. Costco has good package deals. LMT Club (Google for a free membership code) has the lowest price on tickets. Mousesavers.com has good information on current deals for tickets, hotels, rental cars, etc.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

For me it depends. Flights I usually go through the airline but I will search for where I can find the lowest price. If I'm staying off site same thing, book direct or through Orbitz or Expedia. Its only if I am staying on site I book the hotel through Disney just so I can make payments on it

Each vendor direct and separate. I usually use airline miles or reward vouchers. Hotels I sometimes have points.

You can save money booking separately, especially with LMTClub tickets and that's how I do it if we're staying offsite. But I normally book a package if we're staying onsite, which runs about $60-$100 more (for two) than separate booking. I think you get better and more flexible customer service when you book a package.

I personally book using Costco. It is still technically with the Walt Disney co.and I can make changes up til 40 days before. Many on here book everything separately or use LMT.

On choosing a hotel it really depends what you are looking for there are many options
