Travel Agencies

[ILoveMGM]

I know this question has been asked millions of times, but what are the different travel agencies that would be recommended? I have gotten a few quotes and I am now trying to decide who to go with. Obviously the cheaper ones, but I have always gone through Disney to book my cruises before I realized that the travel agencies were cheaper. Thanks in advance for the help!

IMHO cheaper isn't always better ... you need to balance what kind of service you are provided by the agency as well ... it might cost you $100 more to book with TA #1 then TA #2, but if TA #1 has a better reputation for taking care of their clients (more personalized service, answer calls/emails faster, they're there for you in an emergency, etc.) then it might be worth the extra few bucks to book with them.

Some of the ones listed by posters in the past have included www.micdan.com (ask for Dana), Dreams Unlimited of course , AAA, Costco....

I use Grand Getaways Travel -- they specialize in Disney vacations and are really just a pleasure to deal with all around. They have always been able to get me great rates and discounts.

If you've always booked with DCL, you might be disappointed with an agency. Not that agencies are not helpful, but if there's a problem (DOCS not arriving before you cruise) it's out of DCL's hands, and you have to go through your agency.

As a former travel agent myself, I vowed I'd never use one when it came to my own travel arrangements. Not worth the small savings for the certainty of dealing directly with an airline, hotel, etc.

This is probably a stupid question, but if your docs don't arrive before the cruise, you can still board right? You just won't have everything filled out before hand right?

I use Janis from Travel Dreams. She is amazing! We have used her for our past two cruises and our upcoming cruise in November and a trip we are taking to Disneyland in May. We have never had problems with our documents arriving in time. Janis is one of those people who go above and beyond. I cannot say enough good things about her!
PM me if you would like her contact info....
