If you are making Disney reservations, look no further than the Disney website, www.disneyworld.com. I know that you can get Disney deals all over the place, however buyer beware! Those deals are less expensive for a reason. First of all, no matter what you are told staying on site is a MUST. If you do not stay on the grounds at a Disney hotel, you are not able to take advantage of the perks for Disney resort guests. They offer Extra magic hours, where one of the parks is open early and one late for resort guests only. Also, if a park is crowded on a particular day, they may restrict entrance to that park. If you are a resort guest, there is no restrictions for entering. I acutally saw this my last trip. I was entering the Magic Kingdom, and there was a line to get in. The people being held up were non-resort guests. Another perk is the use of the Disney transportation system. The other hotels all have shuttles, but in many cases either it costs extra or you have to stay on their schedule. With the Disney resorts there is no more than a 10 minute wait for a bus back to your resort, no matter which one you are in.
I always book the reservations myself, as I have a hard time paying someone else to do it for me. By doing it yourself you save money, and the site is easy to use. You can go on and do a resort comparison, check flights, and get park passes all in one. If you are like me and really paranoid, you can get all the info you need, then call them and the cast members who do the booking are very helpful.
When getting your park passes, make sure to get the Park Hopper option for your passes. It costs a little bit more, but you basically can then come and go as you please to whichever park you want. Like I stated before, if the Magic Kingdom is crowded on a particular day, you can shift gears, jump on the Monorail and go to Epcot. Without the Park hopper option you can't do this. My family and I like to go to different parks each day, like Epcot in the am, and MGM for the light show in the evening. Without the park hopper option, it is not possible.
Have a great trip and fun time planning. If you need any more info, I would recommend picking up the Birnbaum's guide to WDW from the local bookstore. There are plenty of guide books out there, but that one has always worked the best for us. Also, if you have more questions, please feel free to ask. I don't work for any travel agency or get paid for answering questions, I just love talking about Disney and all it has to offer. In fact, I am taking the family in three weeks, and we can't wait!!
Have a great trip!

A full package with Disney, including air will cost you a small fortune. Save some money and book through Last Minute Travel http://www.lastminutetravel.com
or through AAA. AAA offers the best overall discounts for rental car, hotel and park tickets. Membership is required to take advantage of these discounts. If you are planning a trip to Disneyland in CA, Costco is currently offering some pretty great deals! http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.aspx?ec=&pos=3&whse=BC&topnav=&cat=28824&eCat=BC|1133|28824

You can purchase a Disney package at www.disney.com however I will tell you this. Their packages are NOT set up for cheap prices they are set up for convenience. You normally do save money purchasing each thing seperately.

If you're a AAA member, they have something going on Disney, as I saw the other day on their website.

Try the Knott's Berry Farm site, or the Universal Studios site, or any non-Disney site, that should help. Don't try the Disney site, they don't know what they are talking about with your questions of their park.
