Seriously, call Pam. I used to like to plan my vacations on my own, but I used her services for a quick trip, and I plan on using her services from now on! It's nice to have the human contact, and to just have one central person to talk to!
Totally used to agree with you, until I tried calling central reservations myself to get a hotel room two weeks ago, only to have them tell me that passholder discounts were unavailable for POR that weekend. In the end, I emailed Pam in desperation, and she found me a room with my AP discount.Mystic said:Personally I prefer calling Disney Central Reservations myself and dealing directly with Disney that way. I've never dealt with Pam and rather hesitant to do so after I had a local travel agent tell me he could get me the same room I already had booked plus tickets for about $1,800 CAN (about $1,500) US. This was for a Woods view room at WL plus ultimate tickets. I called Disney Central Reservations and spent well over half and hour on the phone with them as they tried to find me this 'special package' this travel agent said he could get me. No such deal existed. This is why I'm a little hesitant to use a travel agent of any kind other than Disney Central Reservations. Also by doing it myself I know for a fact that I have the restaurants I want on the day and at the time I want
wannabeBelle said:Hi Mystic, The advantage to booking with Pam so far ahead of time is that if a discount comes out that you are eligible for, she will re-book you at the lower rate without you having to keep track of it and make any phone calls yourself. It is just a convienience thing. But by all means book your vacation in whichever way makes you feel happy & secure!!! Belle
Mystic said:Like I said early, my hesitancy comes from the fact that we're very picky about our trips. We always stay at WL in a woods view (upgraded to courtyard one year and hated it. Too noisy for us). And we even plan out our entire itinerary as to where we eat etc.
lawyergirl77 said:ITA being picky about your ressie - I'm notoriously picky about where to eat and what to do and where I want to stay! While I don't have everything planned to the minute, I do have all of our dining reservations (and consequently what park to do, when) in a spreadsheet on my computer.
*sigh* My friends all say I need help... I think I'm just fine!
