Booking through Orbitz...

[umieesa]

OK, so I saw a discount code for Orbitz that saves up to 5% on hotel stays of at least 1 night until 3/31/11. Now when I was checking I noticed they have the WDW hotels...which brought the rates down to less than booking directly with Disney (obviously 5% is not much, but benefits those staying for several nights and at more expensive properties).

Now, my question is...is there any benefit to booking room only through Disney as opposed to Orbitz? Not too familiar with orbitz's policies so I don't want to book and then be stuck if I have to change or cancel...

TIA!

With Orbitz, Expedia, etc - look for fine print - especially cancellation penalties.

I booked 2 rooms through Orbitz last year and had to cancel both. No cancellation fees or penalties for me...I was even able to cancel online. Of course it was more than 5 days out that I canceled. This was the Grand Floridian and All Star Movies.
