    I dunno...Tom and I exchanged *several* emails in just a few days (and that was just for the process of me handing over an already booked (with a giftcard!) reservation to his agency) and he only ever seemed amused (even when I was typing while giddy from heat exhaustion and making NO sense) and happy to help, not annoyed.

    I can't even tell you how many times I've asked Tom what he did today and said, "I changed so and so's reservation to this..." It just comes with the territory - people who love Disney can never decide what they want, cause they know it's all awesome! Luckily with DVC we are pretty locked in to a few options, because otherwise we'd be flipping and flopping all the time

    Default sorry to hijack the thread, but...

    Seriously? I thought we could only apply gift cards towards our reservation if we booked directly through Disney. So we could use gift cards towards our reservation AND book through Mouse Unlimited? If that's the case, we'll be contacting you all in a few months to plan for 2011!

    Happymom, I was wondering about the E-gift cards, too. Good question!

    You can definitely use gift cards and still work with a travel agent!

    Yup, travel agents can accept any form of payment that Disney accepts, including gift cards, Disney Visa rewards, and credit cards.

    I don't know anything about e-gift cards, but if they have all the numbers like regular gift cards, you can probably apply them to a trip as well. Just keep the numbers stored somewhere in case you do cancel, like has been previously mentioned.

    Tom sounds like a great guy. Thanks dwkay8, mollyeilis and SunshineGirl for sharing your experiences with Mouse Unlimited. As I mentioned before, it is my indecisiveness until about 30 days before I leave for vacation that causes me to shy away from TA's. I have too much respect for their time. So long as they don't mind working with someone like me, it could make for a great trip.

    I agree 100%! You really should give Tom and Mouse Unlimited a try. I am one of the crazy Disney planners also and Tom has received plenty of emails from me asking to change things on my reservation. He has always been happy to help and always seems in good spirits about it. You can't beat that type of customer service and cash back from SR!!!

    You could always be indecisive and then transfer the reservation to him at the end.

    Our reservation that was transferred to them is just for 2 nights and I'd already done everything (ME, dining, etc). To me, it's a win-win-win, because we get the same price through them as we could get ourselves (and maybe better), plus we get a little bit back, sunshine gets a little, and MU gets a little!

    And despite so many emails for a paltry two night reservation, he then sent me the list of all the things the agency can do for their clients! WOW! They'll do it all, even down to putting your itinerary on 3x5 cards for you.

    Yup Most SR members probably never talk to me for their trips since I do the dining and itinerary planning. SR members tend to do the planning themselves, or maybe plan everything and we just put it on the 3x5 cards.
