Hi there 
I'm planning a trip for myself, hubby, 2 daughters and niece. We are flying over from Australia to LA then to Orlando. Super exciting. Hoping to go near end of September for 2 -3 weeks with 2 weeks in the Florida area for WDW and Universal and then a couple of days in Anaheim for Disneyland as the new Star Wars land should have calmed a little by then I hope.
I have a few questions.
1. Is it better to book flights online or through a travel agent?
2. Has anyone booked through an american disney travel agent like undercover tourist and was it cheaper then what you could book yourself?
3. I'm hoping for free dining as a holiday is less of a holiday when you have to cook, has anyone used this and if so how was it?
4. If I have to stay offsite and hire a car to keep costs down where is a good place to stay which has a pool either on grounds or your own private pool?
5. Staying onsite i'm thinking either Art of Animation or Fort Wilderness Cabins or a week at both, though I'd rather not move, for the whole stay, has anyone stayed at either and what are your thoughts?
6. I'm budgeting between $20000 and $30000 for this trip, is this realistic?
7. My daughter has egg, dairy and nut allergies, I've read that Disney is awesome with allergies, has anyone had any experience with this?
I'm really excited that I finally convinced hubby we need to go. I have asked these questions in the dedicated Australian area but though widening my audience might be helpful
Cheers
