Just wondering why anyone would use them with the $50 dollar fee when you can make payment via Disneyland.com, Costco travel or just about any Disney travel agent for ZERO fees!?

Disney land is more and charging the new prices and Disney land never gives the good deal on the room (69 a night) and im sure it would cost more there, and you have to put more down at the other places. Thats why ill pay the 50 now in stead of 150+more from Disney

yes i was going to do just tickets earlyier when testing the site out, and it gave me option to do payment plan, i then checked package and saw it saved me money and gave three things i wanted breakfast, internet, and microwave that Anahme plaza couldn't promise to have

API does not have a free breakfast, what they do have is a voucher for your DS to eat free if you buy 1 breakfast buffet at their on-site restaurant. We've never done that tho, we just eat muffins in the room when we stay there. They do have internet but you have to pay for it, iirc it was $9.95 a day when we were there last summer, not worth it for us because I have a smart phone. We have had a microwave every time we've stayed there, we've stayed there 4 or 5 times now. Just info for you to have for later.

Because GAT is still charging last years prices, even with the $50 fee it's still cheaper to buy them from GAT then from Disney at this point.

Lots of companies still have last year's prices and dont' charge a fee to book. Only a deposit and you must pay 45 days prior. No need to pay $50 fee???

If I am understanding correctly, Jade's particular issue is that she doesn't have $200 to put down a deposit right now and she wants to lock in the ticket prices before they go up to current gate prices even when sold by the travel companies. Jade can afford to put down a lesser amount of money including the $50 fee so has chosen Get Away Today (which requires a smaller deposit than some of these other travel companies) to start a payment plan on her tickets so that she can at least save some money versus waiting until she has enough money for a larger deposit and possibly having to pay for full price tickets. Not every person's situation is the same which is probably why there are multiple services out there for this type of thing. It sounds like Get Away Today may be the best choice for Jade's particular situation and needs.

Sorry, that part was lost on me somewhere in the thread. If that is the case then GAT may be the best option.
Good luck Jade and have a great trip

lets just say i can afford the 125 no problem and then owe 600+ when time to pay it off. 600+ is easier to come up with from my big check then to come up with (almost a grand with (no breakfast at ap) and no microwave) and (200+ on tickets for dh and ds with new prices)

Yes getaway today is definitely the way im going. Ill book as soon as i have my answer for question i sent in to them on the contact us form lol (asking why the codes i found didnt work maybe they can help me)
