Free Disney Dining - best place to book

[orlandoamber]

Is there a website which is generally cheapest to book a moderate resort with free dining (potentially Sept/Oct 2019)?

Have so far just looked at Disney themselves and ATD, coming out at approx. £850 for two adults at Coronado Springs or Caribbean Beach.

Thanks!

I would use ATD. You only need to pay a deposit of 100 pounds and they will allow you to move your dates round a bit if you need to. They were the best price for my holiday.

I’m a fan of using Disney direct personally. Any changes you need to make, any issues you encounter (MDE, ME, dining plan, magic bands etc)-are fixed super quick through Disney direct. They don’t just sell Disney-they ARE Disney 😊

Thanks guys!

I should have probably also said the £850 is for 5 nights.

See more...

Just be careful with ATD/TAs if you are thinking of any dining plan upgrades as they are generally a little bit more expensive than Disney direct I’ve found

If the base price is the same for your trip, I’d always book direct with Disney

I always book direct unless a TA is significantly cheaper, which has never been the case IME.

ATD did have some decent prices for next year on my dates, but once I factored in cash back (which I got a bonus on over bank holiday weekend) and deposit (£50 per person with WDTC, rather than a flat fee - so more expensive at ATD for me) there wasn't enough in it for me. Always had excellent CS from WDTC (reasons mentioned by above poster) so happy to continue using them.

Other than when we booked our very first WDW holiday as a package with Virgin Holidays, I have always booked directly with WDTC. I do tend to prefer to book directly (I do the same with flights).

This year however upon release of free dining, ATD had some very enticing prices so I booked with them because the same 2019 dates for Beach Club were £700 cheaper than Disney direct.

Disney direct for me, they where so good at changing my dates around etc at no cost.
