How do you book your WDW vaction?
I was wondering how everyone books their WDW vacations? I can't decide how to book ours. I've done many different ways but just curious about which way other people prefer. Do you use an online booking company? If so which one? Or do you book directly from the Disney website?
One other question. We've got the Disney credit card, do we receive a discount if we use it for booking our vacation? I've had it for awhile just never booked with it.

Magical Journeys (an INTERCOT sponsor) has been my agency of choice for the past 8 years.
I have booked through AAA and on my own previously, and have found that Magical Journeys has provided the best service, and best experience, in making my WDW vacations even more magical!!! They will get you the best deal for your vacation $$$$!!!

Booked with Magical Journeys since 2004. Would never want to do it any other way. It's great having the same agent year after year who knows my family so well now.

Another vote for Magical Journeys. I used to book directly through Disney, but decided to give MJ a try, and haven't looked back.

Hmmm...
I have always booked them myself. I am intrigued by all the comments on Magical Journeys.
I have to ask the question(s):
Do you all use MJ for only staying onsite?
I mostly stay offsite at a timeshare involved in Interval.
Do you use a specific airline?
I typically use Southwest.
If there is another way I am all ears {excuse the pun}.
Thanks!!

On our first family trip, I booked it myself since I didn't know any better. Every trip since we have used Magical Journeys. There is none better, they are the tops, guaranteed to get you the best discounts even if prices change after you are booked. It's just too easy. MJ is great.

Yes, for onsite for me. I don't think MJ books offsite but they can help with a lot of things. You might see if staying onsite might be cheaper for you.

We typically do our Disney Vacation Club reservation ourselves, but use Magical Journeys for our "add on" time.
We have found that Magical Journeys is a full operation travel agent who specializes in Disney, but has helped us with many things. We have had help from Terrisue at MJ for Disneyland, DisneyWorld, Disney Cruise Lines and she will be helping us with the Universal portion of our summer holiday to Orlando. We alway refer people to Magical Journeys when they are planning a Disney holiday of any kind.

I always do them myself. We haven't been staying onsite lately and I have corporate discounts at some hotels so I just handle it.

I book my own travel. I just can't relinquish that control to someone else.
