How should we book?

[jiminy]

Last time we booked online, but I remember reading that others on here thought that was a bad idea.....what is the best way to book? Through a travel agency? On the phone? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

We use www.cruising.co (affiliated with MouseEarVacations). The woman we deal with asks just what we are looking for, check for specials, makes all of our adr's, etc. If you have any questions or want the specific person we use (we have used her for our last five trips and they have all been perfect trips),send me a pm and I will give you the info.

I always make reservations by telephone direct to WDW - I don't need a travel agent to get a room.....and I normally get 2 rooms so I can't do that on line...

I do everything myself separately.

Room only AAA rate, by phone w/ Disney.

Park Hopper Tickets through Undercover Tourist (join MouseSavers newsletter for discounts).

Airfare directly through their site (I use Spirit Air)

I saved about $220 this way on room/tickets.

I saved $600 on the flight by waiting and signing up for their email alert for a good deal.

I don't do the Dining Plan b/c we just don't eat that much, usually fruit in our room for breakfast, CS lunch and dinners, we split (me and dd15); 1 or 2 TS, usually for Fantasmic and if we do the MVMCP or MNSSHP we like to have an ADR for dinner so we are in the park at party start; some popcorn and of course mickey bars
