Who would you go with??

I'm not sure where to post this so I'll try here! Last year when we went to Disney we used an outside travel agent and got an awesome price because SIL worked for the airlines. We are looking to use either mouseketrips or small world but not sure if one is better than other. They were both within 50 cents of each other with their quotes but mouseketrips felt less formal to me( not a very formal person).So..... I need opinions please!!!!! Also, we got a quote od 3132.00 for 2 adults, 7 yo and 5 yo for Aug. 5, 2008 for 7 nights with a 10 day park hopper with waterpark and more and dining plan at POR. Does this seem like a good price and are there usually ever any discounts for that time of year? Thank you very much!!
P.S.- I know people have asked this before but I do not remember the answer- how do I get my countdown at the bottom? Thanks!!

I don't know about the price but it's easy to check. Look at disney.com or AllEars and price the parts of your trip to see waht it would cost you to book it. We always book our own trip and usually book room only and add park passes later.

Mouseketrips is the site sponsor here, Mickey owns/runs this board and Mouseketrips so a lot of people here book through him.

We booked this trip with Mouseketrips and have been very happy with the service so far. All questions have been answered and I feel there always available if I need them

Since you don't have a compelling reason to choose one over the other, why not go with Mickey, our MB site administrator at Mouseketrips?

At least you'll always know how to reach them!

Re: Who would you go with??

We used Small World on our last trip. They were good. Even gave us home phone number on one occasion. Always responded within 24 hours, usually much less than that. Better than what I've been reading lately about others. We'd use them again.

Re: Who would you go with??

I actually enjoy booking my own trips. It just makes the whole pixi dust feeling last longer that way

Re: Who would you go with??

we used mouseketrips this time and were very pleased. I liked that they applied discounts for us (I didn't have to be on the phone at the exact time to be sure i got it), and Mickey did a great job when i had to change things (several times)!
