which Travel agency to use?

[waymickey]

I am trying to book a cruise for Disney through a travel agency. I hear this is the only way to get some on board credit money. Which one is the best one to use. I am a bit concerned about using one that is online only with no phone number. I don't want to be scammed .

Look no further. One of the wonderful ladies at Magical Journeys (our sponsor) would be happy to help you. Many think of them as WDW only but they do Disney cruises too!

Magical Journeys!! Best people, best prices...AND they are an INTERCOT sponsor!!!!

If there are any specials, discounts, on-board offers, Magical Journeys will know about them and make sure you get the best possible deal to fit your wants and needs.

I've used Magical Journeys for my Disney World and cruise vacations and am always delighted with them!

I highly recommend them (and do so all the times to friends and colleagues).

It is good to be cautious though, there are a lot that aren't as good out there. Luckily we have some of the best working for Magical Journeys! Enjoy planning your trip.

We reached out to MJ for the first time back in 2010 and got hooked up with Kathy and have been fortunate enough to use her three times. Don't know when the 4th time will be, but if/when that time comes, that's who I'll be contacting.

I think you'll find quite a number of Magical Journeys fans here. I'm certainly one of them!!

I agree with using Magical Journeys. They are fantastic to work with and amazing at keeping up with any deals that come out that will save you maoney.

I did get an instant quote from another travel agency that stated that they specialize in disney vacations. It was 800 more than what I can do myself on the web. Is this normal practice by travel agents? Is this how they make money?

[faline]

Did the travel agency quote include something that you did not price on the Disney website (such as airfare)?

No. Disney pays travel agent commissions, not the customer. However, with cruises, any on board credit you might get will be commission money the agency is giving back to you, as a goodwill gesture.

Are you a Costco member? If so, you can book the cruise through them, and you wilk receive a Costco Cash Card worth about 8% of the total cruise fare. While it can't be used ON the cruise, it's usually several hundred dollars that you can use at Costco.

Can you book a WDW trip through Costco? Is there any advantage to doing that over Magical Journeys and such?

Costco does not book Disney hotels, only Swan/Dolphin and the hotels in the Lake Buena Vista area.

Costco does not book Disney hotels, only Swan/Dolphin and the hotels in the Lake Buena Vista area.

And Costco does not sponsor Intercot to keep the site running.
