I got my email today too. Then this popped up in my inbox from Attraction Tickets Direct...
Looks good. We booked park tickets with ATD last year and couldn’t fault them.

Had my Disney email and an ATD advert today.

Also called ATD for a quote, not the usual bump year on year :/ its jumped a good £700 from what we paid for this Octobers trip.

Yes not only do atd have great service they also have good prices, free amendments and now more Disney dollars! They also are great at securing hotels as they did it for me last time for this year too! I decided to book with them yesterday!

Everyone makes their own choice, but personally I will not be booking with anyone whatever the incentives until the offer goes live from Disney. After the ridiculous chaos that ensued last year with TAs jumping the gun, particularly Virgin I just don't want to take that risk and quite happy to wait till next week. Also as far as I am concerned not one of my trips did a TA actually come out cheaper than Disney (Must add that I am a solo traveller and I have always found that TA's really don't or can't help me with a decent offer wherever I go)

We actually can't really decide if we want to go next year but will try to book to get locked into the DDP and if we did decide to cancel we only lose £100 - so I'm going to try for the BC (there's a shock!) with WDTC on the 25th. If we don't get the room type we want with the free DDP then we might wait and book a Disney Springs resort so that we still get the 60 day FP.

I looked at this and to be honest it seems to be cheaper to stay at a moderate and upgrade from the QSDP.

Children are aged 3-9 and adults are aged 10+. Prices are per person, per night.

Free breakfast to QSDP - Adult £25 Child £10
Free breakfast to DDP - Adult £42 Child £13
Free breakfast to DxDDP - Adult £71 Child £23
Free QSDP to DDP - Adult £17 Child £3
Free QSDP to DxDDP - Adult £46 Child £13
Free DDP to DxDDP - Adult £29 Child £10

So, if you do want the deluxe plan (3TS meals per day) then even if you move to a deluxe resort, you'd still have to pay to upgrade from DDP to DxDDP. The DDP gives you 1TS and 1QS meal a day, so you can still do character meals etc with that.

We got a free upgrade last year to the Deluxe plan while staying at the Beach Club - I have no idea why (I suspect it was down to the small pool being out of action and there being some refurbishment work going on).

All I am saying is once you have gone Deluxe there is no going back

Mine too! This is nail biting stuff lol! Bad enough getting DH to agree to a trip to Disney, never mind the rollercoaster cost predictions!
