We got a better price right before free dining went off, it was far cheaper than the website was showing instore and about 30% cheaper than virgin had been right throughout the free dining. no trouble at all booking mde stuff, we did it the day after booking the holiday, again a couple of people having trouble and posting it online and everyone thinks it's the norm.
The trouble we had booking for next year is availability if wanting a standard room, these disapeared within days from some resorts so the price went up, the previous year standard rooms were available everywhere even the day before free dining went off so i think they may be reducing the room numbers for free dining. On another note even though we got a good price after free dining went off we could have booked a royal room at POR, added the qsdp and it would have been cheaper per person than we paid for a standard room but thats luck of the draw (we ended up with a royal room free and asked to be moved, it wasn't for us) personally i have never been able to make it work diy booking a room through disney but this depends on your dates/how many in the party etc. if we booked tickets and room with disney this year it was £150 cheaper than booking a full pakcage including flights with thomson. |

We've booked with Thomson for next April, We had seen the package online but went into a store to see if they could get any further discount and they wouldn't even match the online price! From memory they were quoting us around £250 more which really surprised me as i know most TA's work on commission.
Anyway, we booked it online and were able to link everything through MDE a few days later. ADR'S booked today as at 180 days and everything is showing up fine. |

I would see what Disney quote for AKL for the dates you want to go and then compare the price to Thomson. Sometimes it works out cheaper to just book your flight with Thomson and the hotel separately...I found a great package deal going to AKL with Thomsons next May but it was in SATs week so no good for us. I don't believe you get the $200 gift card with Thomson but others on here will know better.

Thanks everyone. Think I might book Thompson’s flight then Disney hotel direct, then I can book 10 nights Disney hotel and 4 nights Universal hotel.

you can still do a duel stay with thomson you just have to ask in store, they definitely do match the online price but they charge a £35 fee for this, I've done it numerous times.

We booked with Thomsons in April just after Easter staying at the Beach club (our DVC resort) for 10 nights with flights and the DDP and tickets really pleased with the price. There was a price differential of only £60 between AKL and BC. But discover that they do not offer the Disney giftcard.

We tried to do a dual stay but couldn't with Thomson Flights. They could do it with Virgin flights. The TA was surprised that they have stop doing this. They also wouldn't match the online price. This was our experience in May 2017.
