I book directly because I prefer to be in control and not have a middle man, I had never thought there were such large savings to be had.
I have just priced up two weeks in Disney resort with tickets and BA flights for September 2021. Priced it with a TA and booking the parts separately, same hotel, flights and dates. The saving was £11 per person by doing it direct! |

It really differs, I don't think there is a general rule as to which is cheaper, depends on the time of year, suppliers, deals etc etc, our TA doesn't have a website (to get a quote on I mean), lots of TAs will only do quotes directly so if you are trying to make a saving I do recommend contacting some direct for quotes (he was the only one that was cheaper, others I contacted weren't and were significantly more than direct)
I agree with Claudette generally speaking I prefer to be in control and hate middle men, although it worked out well for us this year as we only needed to chase one person rather than 3 suppliers, but there are other potential risks with that too. I'd happily book separately, usually do for other US trips, but booking this way saved us about £400 in total which was a big chunk of spending money for us, so I will always shop around and book whichever gives us the same/best holiday cheaper. We are hoping to go 2022, but waiting until we get the lie of the land next year before booking, I'm really hoping free dining will return but I think that's wishful thinking really! |

We used Orlando Attractions last time - booked Disney hotel, tickets and dining plan with them and booked flights separately at 11 months out.
