You won't be able to do the Dining Plan as that is only available with packages booked direct through Disney. Other than DDP, there aren't any real differences. We had some issues linking our hotel reservation to MDE when we booked through Expedia. 6 phone calls to Expedia and Disney later, we had everything sorted out. Hopefully Orbitz is better at coughing up the Disney confirmation number than Expedia.
I had the same problem with Expedia. No Disney 12 digit confirmation number in sight to link to my MDE account. Like, you, took several calls to Expedia and Disney to get it linked. Ended up calling the resort directly to make special room requests since that wasn't working properly.

Thanks! This really has made my first trip onsite with my daughter a dream come true! I checked and saved more than 300 dollars enjoy your trip!I missed that coupon!! Actually, I was checking prices with that coupon, but hadn't made up my mind yet. Then it expired and the new one is only 15%.
Good job getting the better one!
With Expedia owning Orbitz now, I think that extra discount is gone. Or at least none is popping up when I do any search's for any state and any time frame.
I don't know if I am doing something different, but I just went in to Orbitz to look at hotels for Orlando May 7 thru May 15 and no promo code came up. Same as July, end of February. My screen look's like Expedia's screen only say's Orbitz at the top. Do I have to be a member to see a promo code? Never did before.I was able to get a promo code added onto a Disney hotel booking on Orbitz over the weekend when I was helping a friend price out a short trip.
