Best 3rd party site for WDW resort reservations/lowest price

[dansdad]

If you book a room through a 3rd party site, can you still add the dining plan, once you link your reservation and tickets on MDE?

No.

You will find that Orbitz and PriceLine have some last minute deals on rooms. There are specific ways to search for a Disney Resort. This involves searching for free parking, free wifi and most most important, no convenience or resort fees. But this is subject to availability. and kind of semi last minute. You don't know which resort you actually get. With these, you pay in advance for the whole stay. Never done it, so no idea about refunds/cancellations. Note also that if you add kids, you may be charged the extra adult fee. They treat children just like adults. You can sometimes book two and then add the children by calling Disney.

As others mentioned, there are some travel agencies that have special group rates. From what I know, they will require payment in full 30 days prior to arrival, but refunds are similar to room only (I think it was up to 5 days prior to arrival) You can add tickets but no dining plan.

All these are room only offers BTW. With some of the TAs you can add tickets, but you would be better off getting them from UT in any case.

The TA rates do allow you to add the dining plan on all dates except labor day.

Hmm. Interesting. I know it wasn't the case last fall.

We just booked a TA exclusive for Memorial week with dining. Staying at value beat the room only discount by quite a bit.
