First trip!

Planning our first trip for December 2013. Best time to go that month? Travel agent or no?

Oh! I do have a Disney Visa card.

Congrats on first trip! Not sure on best time to go because we've never been in December, but I understand that early December is really slow (right after Thanksgiving) so I would try for earlier in the month.

As far as travel agent or not, I'd definitely recommend no travel agent. One of the best parts of a WDW trip is the trip planning! Any info you need is right here on the DIS and there are so many veterans that can answer any questions you have.

Have a fun and safe trip!

Welcome and congrats on your first trip!

December is a wonderful time of year to visit, but after December 21 the crowds pick up exponentially. Not necessarily a big deal, but just be prepared.

As far as to use a TA or not, I agree with the PP, planning is so much fun for me! But if you don't have time to invest in researching and planning, then use a TA. It won't cost anything!
Otherwise, join the rest of us crazy planners and do it yourself!
