Reserve on the Internet or over the phone?

[TigerCheer2009]

Can you do both? What's the difference between reserving online/over the phone besides the obvious? Can you schedule ADR over the phone or something? Please help!

TIA!

ADR are over the phone but only if you are 90 days or less from the date you want an ADR for. I think it is easier to add comments to your ressie over the phone (Room pref other than nonsmoking). I also have heard it is easier to apply a code over the phone.

I always book by phone, I like the human interaction (most of the time). Here is a toll free # 877-939-3732 this works for both room ressies and ADR's when it is time for that.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it..

Another question:
You can get everything over the phone (ie plane tickets, Magical Express)

You made my weekend! Thank you!

Yes you can sign up for ME and buy airfare on the phones. We don't fly, but I am going to guess you could do better on price buying airfare direct. You can still use ME even if you buy airfare from somewhere else.

I've never booked online before but was considering it this time. Hmmmm...if the screen shows ME is included while you are trying to decide on your resort, wouldn't it automatically be booked for you online? Thanks!

Thank you HaleyB!

Tink: No idea...that's why I asked!

All you have to do for ME when you are booking online is provide your flight information so they know when you are arriving and leaving. You do not have to have the flight info when you make the initial reservations, you can enter it later.

ME is not added automatically, even if you do book air through the WDW Travel Co. Regardless of whether you book air at the same time, through someone else, or not at all... you pass through the screen allowing you to enter flight info if you choose ME as ground transportation.

Secondly, do check the airfare through Disney. I, too, just assumed booking direct (or through an online website) would be cheaper than through Disney, but we found R/T tickets for less than $185/person from Cincinnati!! Everywhere else was WELL over $200, and sometimes that was on sites such as hotwire, where you don't even know what you're getting until they run your credit card! Check into it, whether you go with the phone or online ressies!
