WDW trip planning 2022
Hi,
I’m very premature but with this crap year and our WDW trip cancelled in May. My husband and I have decided to plan another trip in 2022. This may be a stupid question but can you book a WDW hotel without going through a travel agent such a TUI or virgin? Is it just the WDW website or are there other sites out there? Also, do you find booking through a travel agent or diy better for your budget? |

I always book through Disneyholidays
I cannot see any benefit in booking through a TA, I am definitely glad I booked directly this year as it was so easy to get refunded. |

We booked this year through Disney and had no problem getting a refund either.
We are looking at Oct 2022 and so far have booked discovery cove tickets on a black friday sale ,deposit only. It feels good to be sort of planning again, we will do it bit by bit as offers come up. Edited at 01:08 PM. |

We will be going 2022 and I’m not going to use a TA for anything. If we stay onsite at Disney(if everything is back to normal)then I will only book direct with Disney.

Can I ask about your Discovery Cove tickets? I can only see Black Friday deals that are up to end of 2021.

Oh that’s great. We managed to get a refund for our May holiday this year but it took TUI nearly 20 weeks to release the payment 🙈.
Also, I think it’s becoming even more expensive to book through a TA |

The TA we used for this year (also May!) got us £200 off direct and saved us a fair chunk on flights too, we didn't book a package, I shopped around and he was cheaper than direct. Refund was easy as he sorted it for us with all the suppliers, although he was a bit sneaky trying to get us to cancel which would have protected some of his commission and lost our deposit, so I wouldn't go into it with my eyes closed. He got our Virgin flights refunded to us much quicker than the direct customers though.
So I would consider a TA again but only if cheaper. |

I think booking it myself will be the best option. I’ve price the same holiday on a TA site and booking all the parts separately and we can save over £1500 . I understand that the 2021 prices will be diff to 2022 when we are looking but just wanted an idea of how much to save.
I was so sad when our holiday was cancelled it’s amazing to start planning again |

Yeah I think that’s our best option too. It seems cheaper to book ourselves rather than with a TA.
I know it’s so far away but I can’t help but get excited and want to start planning now |

Do sorry to hear you trip got cancelled too. Are you looking to go back in 2021/2022 ?
That’s really interesting, so far the comparisons I’ve done for the dates we want to go in 2022 are coming up cheaper to book ourselves rather than with a ta but I do think there is more security doing it that way . I just want to make sure we are getting the best value for our budget |
