I have only booked rooms. They offer flights and even some slightly discounted tickets on occasion. Right now I think they offer 5 days for the price of 3 but it might be good only until 12/31. You can save even more if you go through Ebates .New to Orbitz in general - do you book disney packages (like Stay Play & Dine) or Just rooms on orbitz?
dang, I just booked a hotel and didn't know about ebates.oh, and earned $18.00 future Orbucks, plus 2% cash back through Ebates
So happy!!!

I always forget about ebates
I am curious why there is so much love for Orbitz? I always read these threads and look to book with them however their prices are astronomical. I am talking like $60 more a night vs booking with Disney. It is with other hotel lines like Embassy suites etc. as well. I am always confused how people say it is so much cheaper. How much coupon stacking does it take to make it a good deal?
Example POR rate with Disney, Expedia etc. is $253 and Orbitz is $311? what gives?
ETA: I just looked at Swan and Dolphin- Expedia $208 vs Orbitz $325! crazy

Yes, you can link your reservation on MDE. You'll get the 60 day FP window, Magic Bands, Magical Express just the same as if you booked with Disney. Biggest difference (other than paying in full at booking) is that you can't add the dining plan.Thanks so much for posting about this! I've never booked using Orbitz but it seems to be the cheapest way to get a Family Suite. Can you link this on MDE to get the 60 day FP booking window?
I actually had to cancel so I could add another person. So next time I will use, thanks!Go ahead and rebook using Ebates if you want to Eastern. I applied for an Orbitz credit card and as soon as it arrives I am rebooking again for the extra 5%!
