Why use a Travel Agent

So you are planning a trip to Disney and you want to know why you should use a Travel Agent?

Simply put, the travel agent works hard to make your vacation as magical as possible!  They help you with suggestions and ideas as to the best time of the year to go. They help you decide the best resort to stay in based on what you find the most important as well as the size of your pocket book.  They make the reservations for you and keep on top of the ever changing discounts and promotions may be added to your trip.  Most importantly they are there in the event that something goes wrong.

So you already know when you want to go and know where you want to stay, and have found a pretty good deal.  Why should you use a Travel Agent?

There are several reasons.  The first one being, IF a new discount comes along, THEY will do the math and see if it really will save you any money.  THEY get on the phone and wait on hold with Disney.  They send you an email letting you know what the actual discount would be and let you know their advice on taking the new discount or staying with the current one.  Hours in your day are saved by them  doing the calling for you.

And, have you tried to seriously keep up with all the changes lately to Disney?  Magic Bands; Fast Pass Plus; DAS card; RFID mugs….the list goes on and on.  You can get Legacy Fast Passes – You can’t get Legacy Fast Passes… So many changes in such a short year!  That is your Travel Agent’s job.  Keep up with the changes and give you the scoop. 

Speaking of changes… Do you like the planning of a trip to Disney?  I DO!  I think it is at least half the fun of going to Disney!  But what if you don’t like dealing with the crowd calendars, trying to figure out the best day for each park…trying to figure out how to make all the magical things fit in your vacation without spending your children’s inheritance for it… Then simple, you leave the planning to me! 

But if you like the planning aspect of it (welcome to the world of Disney obsession!) then, even if you have a travel agent, you can do all the planning yourself!  Just know that I am here if you hit a snag, or have a question.

But the big reason is this.  While Disney is a magical place, things can go wrong.  Most of the time when something goes wrong, it is easily fixed…but it takes time:  Time standing in a line or time waiting on the phone.  Time you could spend enjoying your trip and making more magic while someone else works out the details. 

This is when your Travel Agent earns their commission. (Which Disney pays by the way!) I get on the phone and work my magic to get things back on track.  My clients are my top priority.
