    We've used Magical Journeys for our last few trips. They do a great job and I've never seen anything but good reports. I highly recommend using them to take care of making your reservation.

    They're the best. I wouldn't book my trip any other way. Use the search function and you'll see tons of threads about how awesome they are.

    I used to always book our Disney trips ourselves, but I'm another MJ convert.

    They are brillant, answer any questions you have and make sure you're getting the best deal possible.

    I won't ever book another Disney trip without them.

    Majical Journeys ROCKS!

    I've used them for my last 2 trips and they have not onlytaken care of all my needs, but have saved me over $1000 in in discounts provided by Disney when they have announced them. Trust me, they are the "Go To" people for trip planning.

    One note since you are planning a long weekend: After hearing all the raves I tried to use MJ but the website indicated that there is a 3-night minimum stay. Fortunately I ended up catching the AP discount the morning it was released and got a great rate for our 2-night January visit.

    I've used AAA for my first three trips, and MJ for my most recent. Comparing the two, I'd say MJ is far more comprehensive, thorough, and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of WDW. I won't ever go back to AAA.

    I have used AAA on last two trips and was trying to decide if I should go with MJ for the next. I have heard that MJ is more in depth and will automatically apply any discounts that come out. Is it true that they do not book dining reservations for you? That is one thing that I do like about AAA. All I needed to do was tell them where and when and they did all the dirty work. Is it possible that MJ will ever do this as well? I think that would seal the deal for me.

    Thumbs up Magical Journeys - AWESOME!

    Magical Journeys convert myself! Have used them for both WDW & DL trips!

    Used AAA prior - but AAA doesn't monitor any offers that are released after booking. MJ does and lets you as soon they hear about them and will make the necessary changes within a day, with your permission of course.

    Will never go back to AAA again for any Disney trip.

    Default Thanks!!!

    Thanks everyone. We decided to go with MJ and Denise has been wonderful. Because we have gone so many times, booking thru AAA and doing it on our own, I was very cautious...hands down, this was the easies! She did book the Candlelight Procession Dinner Pkg for us...don't know if they do regular meal reservations or not, but she did this for us.

    I love using Wendy! I recommend her to others as well. She will monitor your ressie and make sure that if a better deal comes along, she'll apply it automatically. And any of the agents you use will do the same. You can't go wrong using them.

    I echo many of the others in this thread. I always did my own planning. for my last few trips I have used MJ (Denise) and have been extremely happy with the level of service.

    I think I drive Wendy sometimes. I change plans a lot, but she is always there for me when I need a quote or to answer a question. Im about to email her now to get rates for Spring Break 12' hope she is ready for me...

    Default The best

    Highest possible marks.

    I think I know a lot about booking Walt Disney World and I'm sure I know more than any AAA rep I've talked to (and I'm a happy AAA member) but the people at Magical Journeys are WDW specialists.

    And I've spent many hours on hold booking a WDW vacation "all by myself".

    My gal Wendy (or as I call her, Wendy Angela Moira Darling) always manages to find me the best price possible taking everything, including AAA discounts, into consideration.

    In fact, a few times after I've booked, paid and all done Wendy has found a new discount that didn't exist when I booked and applied it to to my reservation!

    And Lord knows, I've thrown her some curves like last week I moved a whole trip, 2 families from March to next month.

    And Magical Journeys doesn't cost extra.

    Heck, give 'em a try! Fill out their no obligation quote request and marvel and the answer you get back.

    Be happy, save money, contact Magical Journeys.

    Amen.
