Who to book with?

I last went the year it opened so it's been a while.
I'm "thinking" of booking a short 1 or 2 night get away for June/July time, any advice please on where I should start looking?

I have always booked direct with DLP but booked my transport separately for the best deals.

Didn't realise it was so pricey!

Doesn't need to be! Avoid weekends, book early, use an offer (there is always an offer, and don't forget to check other countries' websites as well as UK).

Our last trip was 2 adults for 3 nights with free halt board for �540 at the Santa Fe. Eurostar was �72 each return (booked 10 months in advance).

Yeah I've just booked for 2 adults, 3 night with free half board for �570 at Sequoia Lodge

Not booked Eurostar yet

I always book my Disney trips with the Walt Disney Travel Company. On my last visit in 2014 I caught the direct Eurostar from London and the Eurostar was cheaper with WDTC than with Eurostar direct.

It may be cheaper if you've missed the cheap Eurostar fares, yes. You have to book 10 months out to get the �72 return fare, and even then it's not always offered now, and sells out in hours when they do offer it.

I paid about �90 which I thought was a good price. I booked 9 months out. For my trip for this September 25th to 29th I booked the hotel and tickets with WDTC last June and booked the Eurostar late November - 10 months out. Again it was cheaper with WDTC than with Eurostar direct. We're not allowed to make personal phone calls at work unless it's urgent so I have to ring in the evenings, by which time all the �72 tickets have gone. (I'm not work this week so no worries about the internet!)
