Amy, thanks for the insight. I do have a question for you, can I book our hotel and buy our tickets separately through like Un.dercoverTo.urist? How does that affect our FPs? Do we still get the Magic Bands? Do the people with the DP get an earlier time to book reservations than others? How does DVC points work with staying on property and with FPs and dining? That last one may be good for @starry too.
Also, you may have someone you are planning to work with if you do use a TA but if not and you want me to just get you different quotes for different dates/resorts/packages I can. It's a no obligation deal and I'm already prepared if you just use me for that
I have never used a TA but that's because I love this stuff. I listen to podcasts, follow blogs, post on the dis etc.
If I didn't enjoy this or HAD to have free dining OR was going on a Disney Cruise I would totally use a Disney TA.
Staying up until 12am & researching ever CS restaurant change & reading up on new package add one & restrictions & promotions for hours isn't for everyone.

We rented points and they gave us reservation #. I just input that into my Disney and then was able to make ADRs. We bought tickets from another site and then I just linked them into my Disney and did our FP. Everyone got magic bands, even E.
