As mentioned above some agents don't give you the disney giftcard of 200/100 dollars. virgin always do but i find thats nowhere near enough to get me to book with them as their price is usually 300-500pp more than thomson (for disney holidays anyway) But it is something to factor in.
We are hoping to book for may 2019 when free dining comes out in april. |

Booked my holiday last year with Kenwood Travel and had the 'free' DDP (going in May so planning is underway). Shopped around all the various usual listed ones here and then worked out the cheapest and had no problems linking MDE to the booking which can be a hassle with some users experiences on here.
Best advice is to shop around as the other have said and don't be shy to go back and say you have found cheaper elsewhere |

Nice one. Thanks guys. So that's 17 agents to get quotes from. Crickey. Do I phone all 17? Email them? Do it online? Ha

I'd phone as they get inundated with requests for quotes when it's released, so sometimes emails can take a while to get answered. Some you'll be able to get quotes online anyway, so it shouldn't be too many calls.

Price if yourself and get a TA to beat it, you can even play one TA off against another.
Keep in mind Virgin store manager can take up to 10% off and area manager can go higher (even on web prices). I booked this year through Thomas Cook (but nothing actually provided by them as staying at Disney/Fort Lauderdale and flying BA). It's all down to negotiation but don't take the pee (if they can still make a profit they'll usually give a decent discount). |

Check literally everywhere, and then once you have quotes go back to them all with those quotes - shop around.
Don't assume someone is going to be cheapest/most expensive - it really does vary depending on your needs, your negotiating skills etc. |
