Just use Disney.com or one of their travel agents.  I wouldn't spend the extra money on an outside travel agent.  Disney reps are super helpful and can get you the same deals travel agents can, without the added fee.

We've used Small World Vacations and been very happy with them.  There is no charge for using a travel agent.  We just like having a point of contact and they are well aware of the ongoing discounts that are available.

There's no charge to use a TA, but honestly it's so easy to book yourself directly through Disney.  A TA isn't going to get you many discounts you can't get yourself, as Disney rarely discounts tickets (Undercover Tourist can save you a few dollars especially if you subscribe to the MouseSavers newsletter, but it's not a large discount).  And doing it yourself means you have control of the booking, which I prefer unless it's a complicated trip and/or has places where the TA can save me money.  If you use a TA and want to make any changes to the reservation (other than booking dining...that you can do direct with Disney when your window opens), it has to go through the agent since as far as Disney is concerned, that's who "owns" the reservation.

I've always just called the Disney line and booked through them.  They've always been very helpful at finding us all the discount rates we qualify for.  It's always been a great experience.

Costco.com had the best deals that I found for vacation packages/ tickets (if you are a member). Super easy to book and navigate the site. It was a lot less than Disney's direct sight for the exact same thing.

It might even be worth getting a membership for a year just to book the trip. I suspect you'd make up the cost in savings. You can look at the website without a membership.

Maybe try Sams Club too? We don't have those around here, so I don't know don't for sure, but I think it's the same thing as Costco. Or, AAA Auto Clubs will book trips like that for you at a discount, but I didn't find it to be as low as Costco. Nice that they do all the work for you though.

My Dad can get really good deals on Disney through the Navy, if you have anyone in the military who could look into it might be worth a try (buy through the exchange).

Call NJTravel.com (856) 719-9370, they are the best.  Best Customer Service, for sure.  Beats out Disney.com.
