I live too close to WDW to be able to justify having a travel agent - and I've never gone on any big trips - but I've always wondered what it would be like to go to a travel agent and just *go somewhere!*
Maybe some day....
I hope you have a really great trip - do a trip report! They are always so much fun to read.

AAA always saves us money. It's usually enough to pay for the gas to drive down to Florida.

The $332 number really isn't that telling. It could be per night (unlikely) or could be for the duration of her trip ($332 for 3-4 days is great, but for 8-10...?).

I called my hotel a couple of days ago and ended up saving $30 per day...just by making the call and checking their "entertainment card" rate.
When I first checked, the room was going to be over $100 per night for the entertainment rate , so I got their AAA rate for $89 plus 2 b'fasts every day. Which isn't bad, but for some reason the entertainment room was down to $60 per night. A quick $150 saved by making a phone call.

The $332 was applied to my room. It saved us 55.33 a night and took our $199 a night room rate to $143 a night which was a better deal than what came with the pin number.
The reservations manager was feeling kind that day I guess. Maybe it was a YOAMD deal? At any rate I feel really blessed to have such a great travel agent, she went to bat for me. And saved me alot of money:sohappy:

I don't know if i would trust that...
If she has seperate hook ups then great but something sounds fishy to me.
I would do your research first before getting tooo excited.

I never use a travel agent I do it myself anyone can---if you make reservation than find cheaper price call and they will change I have gone twice a year week at a time for the last 11 years and always have a credit on my roomMy travel agent just saved us $332 on our room for our trip in July!!!:sohappy: I wish everyone had a travel agent just like her. She has truly gone above and beyond for me. Nothing like going to WDW and saving money doing it!:lol:

Why does that sound fishy? From the rates I gather that we're talking about a mod resort, and $144 is a pretty standard sounding rate for a moderate resort. I've NEVER paid the full $199 for a mod room...in fact last year I paid $99/night at CBR in August....and that's the normal rate for a value resort.
