You'll need to come here for all your advice then as, no doubt, the UK TA knows little or nothing about DCL. We advice against it every time, but the choice is yours of course.

Fingers crossed you don't have to amend anything or you'll be paying an admin fee for each person every time (direct you wouldn't have to do that).

What did you book in the end?

I think Joa's point is regarding using a UK TA for the cruise part of your holiday. Most UK TAs are knowledgeable about the non-cruise portion but most are not about the cruise. That said as long as you are aware of this you know that you need to check things elsewhere (such as here) and can definitely deal with it. This is my 10th cruise and the first one I've done using a UK TA (Virgin Holidays) as like you the package with flight and Disney for 7 nights before the cruise worked out cheaper than doing seperately (saved around £500 I think overall). Unlike some of the nightmares I've seen on here and in other places, I haven't had any major issues as I've been able to do everything myself. The biggest issue I've seen others have is that their cruise isn't paid off until the very last minute by the TA. Mine for some reason was paid off really early on (at the point when I phoned to asked about adding DCL transfers) so I didn't have this problem. I think it really is luck of the draw with a UK TA but as long as you know what to look out for you will be fine. Just be sure to question things and not assume they know what they are talking about.
