Recommend a travel agent?

This probably isn't the space for this but I can't figure out where to post it. Mods, feel free to move.

I just paid off the rooms for our upcoming trip in April and it's time to plan for October and December. I'm feeling overwhelmed and think I'd like to place some of this in the hands of a capable professional. Can some of you recommend someone to me?

Use Dreams Unlimited. Very quick response time and they took care of all of our ADR's and even made suggestions for other meals. I never felt like I was being ignored. We had Sue Ellen in 04 and was not disappointed. I have heard good things about all of their agents though.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I'm using Donna at Our Laughing Place Travel for our upcoming October trip. She is AWESOME!

We used Dreams Unlimited for both our trips. Our agent was Beth Czada. We just emailed her what we wanted to do and she looked after the rest.

If you are in WNY, we used AAA and our TA, Sarah Millen, has been wonderful! She has taken my commando tendencies in stride!!

I'm using Laura Bender with www.magicforlesstravel.com and I just love her. She has been FABULOUS with all of my questions (Disney virgin here), and changing my ADR's thousands of times. Can't recommend her enough. We also got free TourGuideMike with our paid vacation (woooohoooooo!). Can't promise that promotion is still running, but worth checking into.

I just booked my trip through Lisa at Magical Vacations today. She has been wonderful so far! I would highly recommend her...She actually was recommended to me by another DIS'er!

Stephanie at Small World Travel has always done an excellent job for us. I'd use her again in a heartbeat.

Has any one ever transferred their reservation from WDW to a TA to handle? Is it possible? What was the process?? EAsy or not?

I just did this recently for our October trip. I'd made my own resort reservations at rack rate -- hoping for an AP rate. All of the "feeding frenzy" that occurs when AP discounts are released made me nervous about being able to get one if it is available for my trip. Soooo, I transferred my reservation to my TA. I just had to fill out a form she provided and fax it to her. Simple as that. Now, she's also handling my ADRs. While I do love, love, love to plan, it is nice to have someone I can count on to take care of those details.

This is what I did. I booked my trip online through Disney direct. I was referred to Laura by a friend of mine so I contacted her and told I'd booked already and all I had to do was give her my confirmation number and she transferred it over for me. Very simple. No problems or hassles at all. The price was the same, but I got the tourguidemike subscription for free through the travel agency. I love tourguidemike so it was a great deal for me. Also, she emailed me as soon as they announced the package upgrades and let me know I would owe $100 less than I previously owed on my balance, PLUS we would get free admission to waterparks, Disney Quest, Pleasure Island and Wide World of Sports. I didn't even have to lift a finger. (Well, I did I guess, since I had to open my email to read the great news). The title of the email was "Something magical has happened". How fun!

I use Lisa at Magical Vacations and she is great. She really keeps on top of deadlines, meal reservations, and special events.
