Planning a Disney Trip - Need Advise !!!

[bymorris]

Hi Everybody,

If I'm posting these questions in the incorrect thread, please point me in the right direction.

Need some advise. This is my 3rd trip I'm planning to Disney. However, this time will be with my wife and our 2 little girls (Ages: 4 & 3). We're very excited.

I'm looking for the best deal. I've reached out to one of the travel agencies and they offered me the deal below. I have two questions.

1. Is this a good deal?
2. Should I go ahead and put the $200 deposit down or should I wait for a better deal or contact somebody else? The agent said if any promotions come out between now and the dates set, they will adjust with what ever promotion is active.

*DEAL*
Check-in: Sunday: October 25, 2015
Check-out: October 30, 2015

2 Adults
2 Children – Ages 4 & 3

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brent,
This is about the same as if you price it through the Disney website. Actually, its about $20 more. If you price it out on the website you get $2961.64. Although I am not sure what you mean by the (Plus) next to the Dining Plan? The $2961.64 price is with the Disney Dining Plan (1TS, 1QS, 1 Snack per day).

Some people prefer using a travel agent some like to do it themselves, that is up to you. Have you looked at Orbit? Some people have found better deals there. There is also a lot of talk about "Magical Deals". Apparently we are not allowed to post specific travel agencies on this forum, but if you look through the thread (link below) you may be able to figure out what people are talking about:

Good Luck!

Thanks for the fast reply.

You are correct about the dining plan. It was the plan that included (1TS, 1QS, 1 Snack per day) like you mentioned. I know there was some different options you could choose from.

I haven't look at Orbit yet. I'll check that thread about those "Magical Deals" you are speaking of.
