I don't think that with Disney Cruise Line you ever get a really good deal no matter who you use. I believe that Dreams Unlimited sometimes gives a cruise credit but I could be wrong. Also using your Disney Visa you may get a credit that you use once you are onboard. I go through the DCL website to book because then you can look everyday to see if your cabin has been upgraded without bothering a travel agent. Good Luck!

We just returned from a 4 day cruise on the Wonder. We used Dreams Unlimited and could not have been happier! They got us a great cabin at a great rate. We did have a credit also. I would use them again. Patsy

I have rec a quote from mouse ears vacation that is about 2000 cheaper than dcl. Just want to know if anyone else had used them and how satisfied they were with them...

We have booked our last two Disney cruises with Dreams and they have been fantastic! There is a bit of a situation that we are dealing with now (grandpa is dying) and our cruise is coming up in three weeks. Disney forgot to send me the booklet that covers insurance info and Tammy at Dreams made sure that one is being sent to me. She has gone above and beyond (IMHO) in answering my questions regarding the possibility that we may need to cancel or interrupt our trip, and has called Disney several times on my behalf to help out. All this via email, and was done very quickly. They also saved us over $600 off the Disney price and gave an instant $200 rebate. Oh, and I will add that Tammy was very patient at the beginning when I changed our reservation several times as well! She probably cringes everytime my email comes through...but she always answers and is always kind.

So, that said, my vote is definately for Dreams!

We booked our 1st cruise ever in March for upcoming 7 day Western cruise with a co. called AllSeasons Travel. They beat all the others by 610.00 . They have a web site that lists the prices, including all fees except insurance. You should check them out. www.allseastravel.com

My family's land/sea vacation is booked through mouseears.com.
So far, so good. My family, DH47, DW38(me!!), DD 17, and DD12 have a catagory 6 on the ship and staying at the Beach Club and the total price is $3991.40. Now this doesn't include air(come on SW). Our agent is Vicki and has been WONDERFUL with helping us plan our trip. She is very prompt with any e-mails that she says that she will send us. Any questions, just let me know!

Just gave our deposit for our trip in aug! Talked to Tim and he was very nice and helpful. Upgraded to a cat 5 trip to get the adjoining rooms and only cost 400 more...so far very helpful, feeling a little nervous about spending so much money and never experienced a cruise before! Any info that would be helpful from exp cruisers would be appreciated!

We are using mouse ears vacation with Tim Larison. Where do you get the countdown thing?

I have dealt with a local TA once and booked two cruises through All Seasons and have found them great to deal with.
The owner, Chuck Maida takes time to address any concerns and they are open most weekends to phone a 1-800 number and to top it off Dreams and DCL don't come close in their prices, even after credits and discounts.
My 2 cents worth.
Cheers,
Grumbo

For the countdowns, go to the Technical Support forum. One thread says "get your countdowns here". Hope that this helps!!
