8 Reasons Why You Should Book With A Travel Agent

Planning a Disney vacation at this time of the year can be stressful. With limited park capacity, you’re least likely to get the dates you need. Not to mention you need tickets AND a park reservation to enter the parks.

People are wanting to travel now more than ever. That means hopping on the train and planning your next Disney vacation ASAP! The best way to do this, is to book with a travel agent. A Disney travel agent.

Why should you book with a travel agent? Well, let me tell you why

  1. Services Are 100% FREE!

This one should get you hooked from the start. All services are completely free. From finding resort deals to dinning reservations, everything I provide to your vacation will not cost you a cent. So why not try it out?

2. Save Time

There’s a lot of planning that goes into each Disney vacation. Making sure every little detail is perfect can take some time. Travel agents are here to do all the work for you so you have more time for other things. We can book dinning reservations, tickets, resort packages and anything else you’d like us to do.

3. Save Stress And Headaches

Not only do we save you time, but we also save you the stress of making every detail perfect. We know the ins and outs of all things Disney and strive to give you the BEST vacation possible. We wake up at 6am for you to make dinning and fast past reservations when you need them.

4. Save Money!

What else can we save you? MONEY! This is a big one. Not only are our services free, but we can find hidden deals to save you money on tickets, rooms, dinning reservations and more!

Some people believe booking with a travel agent is more expensive than booking directly with Disney. This is far from the truth! No matter where you book your vacation, the price you pay is the same all around. Unless you book with a travel agent. That’s where I come in!

Finding new deals from Disney is what I do, and Disney is always coming out with ways to save money. So why not get in on these deals and save that money for your next Disney trip?!

5. One Point Of Contact

If you book a vacation through Disney, each time you call you’ll get a different cast member. You’ll have to explain any necessary issues multiple times and not to mention waiting on hold forever.

When you book with a travel agent, your agent will be your main contact throughout the entire process. Every question you have will go directly to your agent. You develop a personal relationship with your travel agent and it makes the process go smoothly.

6. Travel Emergencies!

I know no one likes to think about this, but things happen. An emergency might happen on vacation and it’s nice to have someone to back you up when things go south.

Travel agents are always there when you need them. Even while you are on vacation. Just pick up the phone and we’ll get to work on what ever situation pops up. If you booked tickets through Sam’s Club or Costco, I can assure you they won’t be there to help you out.

7. Excellent Recommendations

We authorized Disney travel agents have a “Disney” degree. Meaning Disney approves of us to book magical vacations. Because of our Disney enthusiasm, we’ve been to Disney more times than we can count. Meaning we’ve rode every ride, eaten at almost every restaurant, stayed at almost every resort, and so on!

We know what to skip and what are must do’s for your vacation, and if this is your first Disney vacation, we give excellent recommendations on what are good fits for you and your family.

8. FastPass and Dining Reservation Assistance

Worried about not getting a reservation to your favorite restaurant? Let us take care of that. We wake up early for you to snag those perfect reservations. Enjoy the luxury of sleeping in on a Saturday, while we book all your FassPass and Dining reservation needs.
