Re: Booking a trip to disney...where do i start?
Decide when you want to go. I always like early fall because it's never crowded and it's not ridiculously hot out but you still have pool weather. Also this is when the do the International Food and Wine festival at Epcot!!
Then, try to figure out what park you think you'll be spending the most time in and look at the resorts closest. Although they all offer transportation I'm always a fan of spending less time going to and from. And then just what you're looking for out of the resort....
If you're traveling with kids you may want to try something like the All Star Resorts.
If you want something a lmore high end with kids I would suggest the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Something middle of the road that is a great value are the moderate resorts. I've stayed at both the Caribbean Beach and Port Orleans. Both are family friendly but also good for just couples.
If you're looking for something high end I would try the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian.
Some of my favorite places to stay are the Swan and Dolphin or the Boardwalk. From both you can walk to Epcot or Hollywood Studios (The Beach Club is over there too). It's so convenient and then if you want to get to the Magic Kingdom you can walk through Epcot and take the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom. The nice thing about the Swan and Dolphin is that it is also a Sheraton so we've used points and gotten upgrades since DH used to stay at Sheratons when he was traveling for work.
I would also suggest getting a park hopper pass and looking into the meal plan option. Both are well worth it!
I have gone to Disney every year for the past 10 years and a bunch of times as a kid so if you have any questions I would be more than happy to help!

I have never used a TA, just don't see the need. The WDW website is very user friendly when booking a vacation. Click the special offers tab to see if there are any deals that apply to your dates of travel.

I always book myself. I don't think you really need a TA for Disney.
