Who has booked 2011 with Complete Orlando?

[DISWolves]

Just wondering who has booked 2011 with Complete Orlando and free DDP
I see on a previous post that Disney are now showing SSR & OKW with free dining, but with no discount applied as was this year.
With C.O offering this for a few months I would have thought Disney may have also offered it by now.
Similar dates for August 2011. Complete Orlando are over £2k cheaper that Disney for OKW with tix & free DDP
I cannot get my head around how C.O. can offer this so early, and are they taking a gamble
Anyone know when the 2010 OKW SSR Disney discount was original offered?

Hi
I have booked SSR for August 2011, via Complete Orlando, at the vastly reduced amount compared to www.disney.co.uk. I queried this with them at the time of booking and they said they negotiate their deals direct with disney/usa and disney.co.uk are a separate company and in direct competition with them.
Complete Orlando have provided impressive service so far, and will contact me when flights become available and I can either book them or organise my own - no pressure.
Good luck
CJC

We booked with co - figured that we'd give them a go as wanted to lock in the deal and couldn't justify spending quite a bit more than we paid last year at ssr on a moderate.

I really want to book with them . . . I just feel nervous about it, can't put my finger on why.

This is exactly how I feel. I got a great quote from CO about 3 weeks ago but I still keep checking everyday to see if Disney UK has the same offer on. DH just wants me to go ahead and book with CO, so I'm not going to wait too much longer for Disney!

Me too! Am waiting for Virgin to bring their full brochure out at the end of the month, to see if they have any offers - if not I'll book with CO. I would semi- happily stay at Coronado Springs instead of SSR (tragically we want a resort with a gym!!!!!) if needs be, but even Disney's price for CSR comes out as more than CO's does for SSR - its so frustrating!

I am in th same boat!

The fact that Disney have not released a similar offer puts doubt in my mind.

It was May 2010, that the SSR/OKW 42% off with free dining offer came out for 2011. I know *** I booked It was the first time I had booked next years holiday before I have even gone on this years

I too am very unsure about CO. I posted on a similar thread my concern on the senerio of what if Disney decide not to bring out this offer for next year. I know from reading posts on the US site that there is a real stink at the moment from DVC Owners whom have invested serious money in to the DVC Membership scheme, to be getting a much worse deal than us when taking advantage of this dscounted offer I agree with them to be honest, but a good deal is a good deal right

The quote I received from CO was extremely reasonable. Not a day goes past that I dont consider their quote and then double check on the disney site to see if they are offering the same yet However, I've still not booked and will kick myself if CO remove this offer and Disney never release it. Oh what to do

I bit the bullet and booked a week at SSR with free dining in Aug 2011 as it was such a good deal , have read quite a few posts about people who booked the same offer for this year and had no problems. Still feel a bit nervous but decided that for the sake of a £250 deposit it was worth the risk as I would have kicked myself if I missed out on the offer. The only prob I have now is that no insurance co wll insure you until 12 months out!

I have just had a look at CO and they have very good competative prices but I have never heard of them before and I was also one of the unlucky ones who was stuck in orlando when Travel City Direct went into administration, this makes me apprehensive about booking with them.

Over on another forum i read that over all this Airspace business Complete Orlando have been fantastic for their customers

 

[JACKIE153]

I booked with Complete Orlando a few weeks ago for October 2011 staying on-site at POR and upgraded the QSDP to DDP. Only charged me £6.50 per adult and £1.50 for my DS to upgrade dining which is cheaper than anyone else. Not booked flights yet obviously but they can add later on to make a package or I can get them on my own.

I would also like to add that on another forum I have also saw that people who have used them for this year were full of praise for how they have been dealt with by them through the volcanic ash crisis.

Just subscribing as I have started a very similar thread to see when Virgin offered the 42% off last year.

The deal CO are offering is fantastic but I feel kind of scared to take the plunge!! I would still need to book my flights with Virgin as I definately couldn't be so brave as to book accomodation with flights ... one step at a time!!!

I see they are ATOL protected though ...?

Oooh what a dilemma!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

I'm actually extremely close to booking with them now . . . I caught myself on an earlier thread saying that I didn't want to book with them, even though they come out about £400-500 cheaper than Virgin and Disney, and realised how ludicrous I sound!!!! As long as they give me a Disney booking reference number (which they swear they do, and if they don't i will badger and badger for it) then if the worst happened my booking would still be safe with Disney, as I understand it? Disney wouldn't give out the reservation number unless the deposit had been paid to them. And I wouldn't book flights with CO anyway as we want to fly in to New Orleans, so feel I would be covered flight-wise from any disasters. Paying on credit card and getting insurance asap should also be a good back up . . . I'm feeling braver!!!

 

[Sweet Pea UK]

I am really tempted - just need to wait and see if the in-laws want to come with us!!

I think that the next step nearer to booking with CO is to see what Virgin offer in their new brochure, due out anytime now
I also saw on another thread here, that Virgin in their current brochure are not quotinng dessert as part of DDP. Hope this is a typo on their behalf !!!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Virgins brochure came out this week!

 

[crabbie1]

I really dont see how virgin holidays will be cheaper.Booked ours all seperate this year with SSR, offsite, and AKLV tickets and even paying for the DDP at the dvc resort we have paid £2000 less than VA quoted for the same accom (appart from aklv was the room, ).I have not booked or looked at CO but will be interested to see what they are offering. I presume as everyone seems so worried about booking with them that they are a new company. After booking seperate for the last 3 holidays I would not book a package again unless it was a steal as it is much cheaper doing a DIY. I do understand though for piece of mind and also people doing it for the first time it is a worrying thought doin it for yourselves. With lots of help and good advice off people on here I have saved a lot of money. Flights are getting ridiculous though even if people have miles and FVC discount. Hope you all get sorted and find a good price that is right for you

If I was to book this offer could anybody recommend which is best between OKW & SS. Would be nice to be able to walk to DD, not sure if you can from both! Debs x

 

[diberry]

You can walk to DTD from OKW and SSR. I think it's about a mile from OKW (not advisable at night).
