Dreams Unlimited vs Small World Vacations for DLR?

[brocklesnar69]

Was looking to see who had used these and what your opinions were on them. I normally just get my own hotel and do things myself, but I was considering using one of these TAs to book my next trip and maybe they could get me a killer deal at an on-site hotel.

What is your preference/experience?

We thought we would do the same thing for our last trip to DLR and we still got a better deal booking on our own.

Hope you have better luck than we did.

Easier to do it yourself, not many killer deals on the west coast. SWV specializes in WDW.

Of course, I'm going to say Dreams Unlimited Travel, since they sponsor these boards, and I know that the travel agents there will continue to look for discounts for you, and will help you plan your stay.

As Mary Jo notes, these boards are sponsored by Dreams Unlimited Travel. For me that's reason enough to support them. Going further though, we've booked 15+ cruises through Dreams and their agents are really good. Dreams follows new promotions as they get released and re-books their clients to take advantage of savings.

Everyone's pricing for on-site hotels is the same. Whether you book it yourself or use Dreams Unlimited, AAA, Costco, etc. the room rate is the same. The promotions the TA's keep an eye out for are the same ones Disney offers for the general public. The AP-only discounts aren't offered through the TA's.

If you book yourself, you might be bale to use a promo code from Orbitz or elsewhere, or you could find a convention rate open to the public like during Dapper Days weeks. But definitely price everything out and see.
