Doesn't Expedia do more business in 5 minutes than that travel agency does in an entire year???
I know the 'agency that shall not be named' isn't as big as Expedia but they don't seem like a small agency to me. They have quite a few agents and I have used the same gal for 3 or 4 trips now and she seems quite busy (though very responsive!).
My understanding is they book up the rooms like a convention would...and they offer some of the same park tickets like a convention...My dh had a convention at WDW two years ago and the CR pricing through the convention was almost identical to the pricing at CR for Labor Day through the agency (his conference was in April). That is what my aunt, who is a TA, says they are doing. Why other agencies don't do the same?? I really don't know. Seems like there are other big agencies who would want in on this but maybe it's really not making 'unmentionable' that much money...it's more of a gaining customers move??
I know in our case, we've only used them for Labor Day deals cause that is when we typically go but I have referred a couple of people to them and they ended up using them even at non-LD times.
