Why we book directly with Disney! (Walt Disney Travel Company)

Question: Why do you only book directly with Disney? Why not a package?...isn't it cheaper?


Answer: There are so many travel suppliers out there offering package deals with car, air and other "extras". In over 10 years of booking Disney with my trusted high school calculator in hand it is CHEAPER to book a Disney Vacation a la carte (even if there is an unbalanced exchange rate in the Canadian dollar). Each element purchased separately can lead to hundreds of dollars in savings. This also gives you options on flight gateways (US or Canada) , car rental offers, other add-ons. 

If you want a complete package booked, no hassle, all the elements done for you and you feel like you just want to pay and not be bothered, then I suggest using a travel specialist in Disney Destinations who can put all of the elements together for you and save you money. 

PLUS, there are a list of magical extras that you can only get with a Walt Disney Travel Company booking at Walt Disney World:
