I get it, there's a booking site. You can go online and book a vacation to any destination these days, so why book with a human? A better question would be, "Why utilize a human instead of technology when planning my family's once-in-a-lifetime trip to Disney?" I feel the answer is within the question itself—don't let this investment become just a number that is washed away in a sea of bookings with no careful attention. The difference here, when choosing to book with a human over a website, is that you are the TOP priority when trusting a Travel Agent, and it is written in their job description that clients' happiness and satisfaction is their responsibility. To be so transparent with you, the website doesn't care.


Now don't get me wrong, the Disney Cast Members are amazing, and every employee I have worked with when booking Disney Destinations has been nothing but a dream—we aren't talking about this. We are comparing the process of booking Disney Vacations with a website vs. booking Disney Vacations with a Travel Agent (more specifically, booking with me, I hope hehe). Let's Unpack It!


The Cheapest Resort doesn't mean it's the Best Resort ( & it surely doesn't mean that Resort is going to feel like "home" to your family )


The website does an amazing job of making every single resort on property look like a dream. Let's be so real, staying anywhere on Disney Property is typically magical, but that doesn't mean that every resort is going to be a fit for you and your family. As a travel agent, I have gone through extensive Disney training to understand every Disney Resort. From the sq. footage of the rooms to the latest hour you can order pizza to the room, I've learned all the details. I also have stayed at or visited every property, so I have a great understanding of the general vibe each resort gives.


Let me be so clear—your Disney Resort is going to determine the vibe and feel of your vacation. A stay at All-Star Sports is going to be a different vacation than a cabin at Fort Wilderness Resort—you're looking at two COMPLETELY different trips here. The resort carries tremendous weight when it comes to how much (or how little) you enjoy your Disney vacation. Booking through the website will create a much larger chance that you potentially end up staying somewhere that leaves you uncomfortable and not able to unwind.


Booking through a Travel Agent allows you to gain more valuable knowledge on each resort before making the plunge. I will give you the nitty-gritty and the honest truth. Every traveler has different priorities when traveling to Disney; you want to select a home base that will meet each of those priorities and leave you feeling fulfilled and wanting more. Carefully selecting a Disney Resort with your Travel Agent prevents you from ending up somewhere you actually don't want to be. Clicking the first option that comes up on a booking site is a gamble you don't want to take—trust me!


Say BUH-BYE to HOLD and call Wait Times. Simplify your Trip Contact List.


As a Travel Agent specializing in Disney, I have quite the impressive amount of experience with hold times. You don't need to sit on hold for hours trying to get a new promotion applied to the trip (that is, if you realize you could save hundreds to thousands, because full transparency, Disney doesn't notify you when new savings could be applied to your trip)—that's my job.


It can be a bit tricky getting hold of a Disney representative via phone, which is all you have when you choose to book through the website. On the contrary, when utilizing travel planning services, you have ONE contact that you can send ONE text to, and your requests are taken care of. Simplify your planning process and make life easier for yourself; you don't need to be sitting on hold and writing down three different phone numbers just to check one detail of your trip.


My clients have my number, and I focus on fast, efficient communication that leads to clients feeling supported and relaxed knowing they have an agent who is monitoring their family's trip.


Don't Purchase that $200 Planning Resource or Guide - It's $0 when using a Travel Agent's FREE Service.


My services are 100% FREE. I actually end up SAVING you and your family money in the long run due to strategic planning and the knowledge that I share with you. Furthermore, I am not going to charge you for sharing this information, unlike other products you can find online. I fully prepare my clients with over 90 Pages of Exclusive Planning Resources. (Did I mention it was FREE? (; )


Strategic planning and sharing valuable knowledge prior to arriving at the resort leads to a stress-free Disney vacation. Disney has evolved and become a totally different animal when it comes to vacation planning - let a travel

help (aka let's plan the dreamiest trip ever together) and experience the difference of traveling to the Disney destinations with consistent, careful support.
