In a heartbeat. Unless I was married to my current agent. In that case, I might think it over for 30 seconds or so...if you could save over $3000.00 for two weeks would you change travel agencies.
Totally wrong.There is NO WAY a travel agent will make you save $3000, unless the original TA was ripping you off, specially if it is for a WDW vacation.
TAs cannot discount room, tickets nor flights. All the discounts are publicly available. A TA is good for helping you book your trip.
Cruises is different as they can give different amounts of credits. For DCL this is only onboard credits as the price is fixed and cannot be discounted.
The savings came about because of Agency Exclusives and the fact that we were doing a two week split stay. One week at the Grand Floridian and one week at the Beach Club during peak season of March and April 2018. This also included 8 day park tickets and one free day for a water park. We saved over $3000.00 by booking with this new TA because of agency exclusives.
That is incorrect. Some agencies book blocks of WDW rooms at convention rates, then in turn rent those rooms to their clients, passing along the savings. I have used such an agency and the savings were big. I am not allowed to name my agency on these boards, but you could find it online with some searching. It is absolutely legit and customer-friendly. I wish I'd known about it before this year. The discounts are quite a bit steeper than WDW's room-only discounts. Saving $3,000 over rack rate for a 2-week stay at a deluxe would certainly be possible, using this agency.There is NO WAY a travel agent will make you save $3000, unless the original TA was ripping you off, specially if it is for a WDW vacation...TAs cannot discount room, tickets nor flights.

I can't believe that poster with 4330 post under their belt does not know better. Sounds very odd.That is incorrect.

Well, I didn't know about agency exclusives until this year, so I can believe it. I was just never the type to book trips via travel agents (before I learned of the big savings), and that poster probably never uses agents, either.I can't believe that poster with 4330 post under their belt does not know better.

If someone could please message me the name of the agency, I would appreciate it.
Are there restrictions? I thought I heard you cannot add the dining plan.

Wow that is some incredible savings. I've never used a TA. This particular one seems to have some great deals. I'm sure there are pros and cons of using a TA. I would be nervous to use one but with a bigger savings it's hard to resist. Anyone have thoughts on using one?
When using a TA, when you want to book FP and dining, is that something you can do or does your TA have to do it?
