is there any cheaper way to book a vacation?

[kasey1988]

Sorry for all the questions guys, but were just trying to figure out costs and stuff for a vacation next may! just wondering if one way of booking a vacation would be cheaper? Do you get a better deal booking through kingdom kinsultunts, through disney directially, or through a travel agent? We were hoping also to get somesort of payment plan with little or no intrest. We know disney only charges 200 up front then the rest is due 45 days before arrival, what about kingdom konsultants how do they work?

We are using KK and they have been the same price as WDW.com. I know that if you have a Disney Visa, I believe you have 6 months with no interest to pay your Disney vacation package. They also give perks like rewards points and discounts on certain things Disney.

Marie at KK has been great to work with. She's been very patient with my emails and questions and has worked very hard to acheive what we we're looking for.

I'd say it's really up to you. I usually make our own ressies but wanted to try something different and haven't been disappointed. If you like to have your fingers in the dough and know exactely what's going on, I'd say go through WDW yourself. If you want to sit back, let someone else do the work for you, then I'd give Marie a shout!

Hope this helps!

Hope this helps.

Ditto!

I've been trying my hardest to drive Marie crazy for months now. She's very patient with me regardless and seems to be doing what I want [thus far :lol:].

Certainly mention anything and everything you belong to to look for the best price when calling the DRC. They cannot specifically ask you if you have AAA or AARP, ect, so mention anything you have to see if you get a discount. Look into renting DVC points, check your local AAA for ticket specials (sometimes they run specials for 10% off, 1 day free, ect depending on your AAA region). If money is a BIG deal, there's always a timeshare presentation for free tickets, however I do NOT recommend it. Active/retired military get great rates at Shades of Green. Any CM Friends? They can help too! Keep your eyes and ears wide open and keep asking, the worst they can say is "sorry, no discounts at this time".

Yes. Marie from Kingdom Konsultants is (apparently) very popular...

She helped me out so much, and because Disney pays for their services, it doesn't cost you any booking fees to have them book your vacation for you.

Please also keep in mind that we do offer free itinerary planning and if there is a discounted pkg released we will automatically call to try to have it applied to your already existing package.
