    2008 Booking Advice Needed

    Book your package with your AAA agent and take your discount. A bird in the hand...........Should Disney come out with a special, call them directly, if available, book it and then cancel the one you have with AAA. Just do not add insurance to your package until final payment with AAA and you...

    anyone know if xmas spots still available?

    There are still rooms available. My suggestion would be to go ahead and put a hold on your room, you can always cancel it if you have to. Take it for all the days that you may want, you can always reduce the number of days but cannot add once they are sold out. Your deposit is the same no...

    What is up with room availability??

    Walt Disney Travel Company (WDTC) generally only takes calls from travel agents. If CRO is slammed with calls and a WDTC agent is available the call will roll over to them, but never the other way around.

    How Much money do Cast members make

    Nice admission benefits....I worked with one woman who had free admissions to the parks, but could not afford the gas to get to the parks with her children. Gas was to go to work and that was it. You cannot live on what Disney pays you, and they make it very difficult to even get a part time...

    Why is it so hard to book the Poly this fall???????

    Sometimes an upgrade can be really simple. Example: You are staying at All Star Movies...your room floods...all the resorts are sold out and the only room left on property is a room at the Beach Club. There you go..it's yours!!

    Why is it so hard to book the Poly this fall???????

    Please don't take it out on the cast memebers at DRC. I worked there for 9 1/2 years. They work on an incentive program. If they fail to say something that they are suppose to, whether it's not saying good-bye properly or leaving out something Disney want pushed, their call is "zeroed" out...

    Why is it so hard to book the Poly this fall???????

    Orbitz has their own block of room which they purchase from Disney. That is why they may still have rooms & Disney does not. Disney has already been paid for those rooms by Orbitz, so to them it makes no difference whether Orbitz sells them or they stay empty. The only difference in booking...

    AAA Discount/Room Only Reservation

    They keep a block of rooms for AAA....so if your not working with a travel agent who is on the phone with Disney everyday, you had best be calling them. Once the AAA discounted rooms sell out, you will not get it if you call too late. Expedia & Orbitz buy blocks of rooms from Disney which is...

    Can someone help me plan this?

    That's because Kingdom Konsultants pays to be on this board. But they are not an Authorized Disney Travel Planner...that is given only to the top booking agencies..look for the logo..you can't miss it....But KK was wrong to tell a AAA member to get a quote from them, they can only sell a...

    When do you pay for a vacation?

    Not true...if your package is locked in at the old rate that is what you pay. The only time your package price would go up to the new price is if you make any changes to original package, i.e., change the dates, number in the party, number of nights you are stay, then the system will...

    When do you pay for a vacation?

    Believe me you don't want to work for Disney. Get a real job & if you want to do the parks get an Annual Pass. You want to be treated like a guest.

    Can someone help me plan this?

    Dizzle...let me correct that answer...anyone can get you a AAA Room Discount but only AAA can get you a discount on the whole package...they are the largest booking agent for Disney.

    When do you pay for a vacation?

    Any travel agent can, according to Disney policy hold a reservation for 14 days, at which time a $200.00 is due. Final payment is 45 days prior to arrival. Do not put insurance on your reservation until final payment or you will lose $119.90 which is non-refundable. Again, you can add insurance...
