For the 4/3 Deal, should I book directly with WDW or go through a TA?

Can TA's book the 4/3 promotion at the same (or even less) price that WDW quotes on their site? Does WDW pay the TA for the booking? I'd like to book through a TA for their assistance and experience, but I was just wondering if the prices are the same, how does the TA get paid?

Yes, the price of the package should be the same that you can book online with Walt Disney Travel Company. Some TA's do have some special offers, it can depend on any special promo's they may be running. Most TA's do not charge clients for their services, they receive a commission from WDTC.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that's what I was expecting. This 4/3 deal really has me thinking! I may put a deposit down now just to hold a spot before they fill up!

Depending on your dates, there are some stretches with limited availability. Keep in mind that the number of rooms available with the promotion is limited and varies from resort to resort.

As others have said, not only will the price be the same as you pointed out you gain help and experience. Many TAs often have gifts or other extras. I am sure it would be appreciated by any of the TAs that frequent the board for your support!
