New To Boards - Question regarding Travel Packages

[kacollins1970]

Has anyone ever gone thru Magical Memory Vacation - now A1 Travel Reservations for a Disney trip? If so, what was your experience. We leave one week from today and we're very excited, especially my 5 year old DS and 3 year old DD! I just don't want this vacation service to ruin it!

Any info would be great! BTW, I checked online and with the BBB and I could only find 1 complaint or so.

Thanks guys!

Hi and Welcome to the DIS!

I have had no experience with the company that you mention. Perhaps someone else has?

Too bad you are leaving in week. We could have helped you book your own trip and possibly have saved you some money!

Have a WONDERFUL trip!

I just Googled A1 Travel and I am not sure that I am finding the company listed there.. Do you have a direct web address for this business???

I am assuming that you have already paid for your vacation throught this company. What are you getting in your package?

Well for $200 we rec'd 3 nights in Disney and 2 nights in Daytona. We bought an additional night at each for $65/ each. We check into Amerisuites at Calaypso Cay. Its a vacation club and we have to attend a 90 minute presentation and then get 2 free adult tickets for Disney and 30% discount on any additional we buy. I guess I'm more concerned about the 90 minutes sales presentation than anything. I don't want to be stuck somewhere for any longer than that and I don't want it to be high pressured. However, the website for Calaypso Cay looks great!

Doing a search on Calypso Cay, it does look nice and seems to have gotten some nice reviews.

I am not finding any informationon its Time Share presentations - except for one on TripAdvisor - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re..._at_Calypso_Cay_Resort-Kissimmee_Florida.html

Hope that this helps...

Thanks! Kind of mixed reviews...oh well, too late now. My husband is quite blunt. If the sales pitch gets out of hand he'll definitely say something. We'll just make the best of it!!

I'm sorry to post this and I hope it's wrong, but here is a link to a post on the Rip Off Report. This was posted by a guy from North Carolina who had a very bad experience. Read the entire post because there is a rebuttal from A1 who took over for Magical. I hope it works our for you.

Thanks! I did see that, but looks like he had problems with getting a refund vs. the trip itself. I appreciate the help!
