DIY - If Booking Room Only, Where Do You Book?

[NicholaJP]

Hello,

We alreay have our flights booked for December and now need to find accomodation. We would like to stay onsite, have AA membership and would happily buy an AP to get a discount, who do you book your accomodation through when putting together a DIY holiday?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Have always gone through Virgin for Florida - but just booked with Alpha Room.com for Fuerteventura. They also do rooms in Florida (whilst i was browsing i just noticed them )

Hi Nichola,
You can book through lots of different TA's We've used both www.dreamsunlimited.com and www.yourmagicaljourneys.com
Both are excellent

I have used both expedia and virgin-virgin because I get 10% off through FFlyer-If yuo wanted the DDP Im not sure if Expedia do it although they do sell rooms in walt disney world.Also BA do accom only and you can add the DDP with them.
Hope this helps
Wayneg usually recommends alpharooms

Yes I like Alpharooms, get good rates usually but, this hotel we are in now I booked thru Hotelopia googled a 10% disc code and got 3.5% cashback thru rpoints, Alpharooms gets 6% cashback with rpoints but dont know of any discount codes.
I used BA website at Xmas they had deal on for Comfort Inn at £20/night.
I just search about 25-30 sites looking for deals, I never stick with same hotel just look for an offer.
Can't really help much with onsite as I prefer offsite so never take a lot of notice of onsite prices, always seem a bit high.

Expedia tends to have some good deals on room only bookings, have you tried them yet? Also, I don't know if you've looked into it yet, but there are a lot of places you can get park tickets cheaper than through Disney.

Happy planning!

 

[NicholaJP]

Thank you all, I will get searching.

i give dreams unlimired the thumbs up.They apply the aa or ap discount for you when its available and they can book your adr's for you too

I always book direct with Disney CRO in the US after checking the rates on www.disneyworld.com.

We have an AP so we keep an eye out for when the discounts come out and then phone to get a discounted room if available.

I like booking direct with Disney - we pay a deposit equal to 1 night + tax and we can cancel any time up to 5 days prior to check in if I find a better deal than the AP rates.

would do same as babyboo and use disney.com,or a us TA like dreams.Dont go for the uk disney site as the rooms will work out a lot dearer as you will not be able to use discounts ie we got pop for 2 nights before free ddp for £37 a night, if booked with uk £58(there abouts) a night
