Trying it without a travel agent

[nflder]

See, the TA we used is a friend of my mom's and I thought that we had a very reasonable price but others said that it was a bit steep, some on here that I assume know more than I do and others off of the DIS boards who may have no clue what they are talking about. I prefer to have a fall guy, but if it will save me any serious amount of money then I would give it a try myself. We have found direct flights with AirTransat out of Halifax ( that is where we live) on April 22 for a total of $2100.00 for all 4 of us which I think is pretty reasonable and I think that I should book those now. Last year we flew direct on the 10'th stayed 10 nights at POP with park hopper/waterpark tickets for 7 days (then addded a day) with DDP for $6500.00.

Hi Pucca - for the first two trips I booked everything. Our trip last year during Easter I decided to go with a Canadian online TA because it was going to be a busy time at WDW. Am I ever happy I did and I would not consider booking on my own again.

To make a long story short - our flights were delayed due to fog (we flew out of St. John's) - instead of one day - it took us three days to get to Disney. The TA I used took care of contacting Disney and letting them know that we were going to be two nites late on our reservation. She took a lot of the worry from me. Just for that fact alone - I will use her again.

She told me up front that I would be able to get the same cost by booking myself instead of going through her. It was also great to have a Disney Specialist be able to answer all of your questions and to book your ADRs.

Just my two cents. If you would like know the TA I used let me know. It never hurts to get a quote.

Wait until you book a package yourself and something goes wrong and then see how "unneccesary" a good travel agent can be.
