rkoldSo I want to go to Disney but the general public special on my dates expired on 12/20 before I even really had thought about things and the new general public discount starts on 2/17 I know when I want to go is off season. Most people have to work and school is in session. In fact I'm hoping to arrive for a Sunday night and stay through Wednesday night. But I'll be damned if I am going to pay rack rate.
I contacted Small World Vacations because they are recommended all over the place but they got me the exact same rate I could get booking directly through Disney not saving me a penny. Why in the heck would I rather book through them vs. Disney?!?! I think this is why I stopped using travel agents and just started to do all the legwork myself. ~.~
I really resent the way they are trying to pressure me to book now because otherwise the rates could go up or the rooms could vanish. This is not some hot time of year to travel. Considering we're in a depression/economic low/whatever you want to call our current recession and Disney is extending their special rates into most months except the middle of the summer I find this pressure ridiculous. It's a bit like cord banking. In the end I decided against it because it seemed like the companies could offer few concrete benefits, just a lot of potential promises and pressure and playing on a parent's love for their baby. It just makes me so GRRRRRR So now I am going to call Disney after a nice relaxing shower and see if I can get somewhere with them.
