Working with a Travel Agent 101

Since I've started working with Mouse World Travel, I've had a few questions such as "Why have a travel agent plan your Disney trip?  What does that cost?  Couldn't I just do it myself?"  So since inquiring minds want to know, here are my thoughts on why you should consider working with a travel agent (like me!) when you plan your Disney vacation.

* It's a time savings.
Working with a travel agent saves you time.  While you're at work, juggling the kids, home responsibilities and going a million directions at once, I take care of the details.  I'll listen to the kind of vacation you're looking for, and spend the time researching the best options to fit your budget, the time of year you want to visit, etc.  If you've looked into planning a trip to a Disney park, on the Disney Cruise Line or with Adventures by Disney, you've probably noticed how many options and choices you have and that can get pretty overwhelming.  I'll help you sort through those so you can have the vacation that best fits you and/or your family.

* I pay attention to released discounts, new offers, etc.
From time to time, Disney will release discounts such as the Free Dining promotion, or special rates on rooms such as Annual Passholder discounts.  I will watch for those promotions to be released, and will let you know about them via this blog and my social media accounts so you can take advantage of those offers.  Also - if you've already booked your trip but you could take advantage of one of the promotions, I will take care of contacting Disney and getting those discounts applied to your reservation, saving you money! (And saving you time - no need for you to wait on hold with Disney to get those promotions applied, I take care of that for you.)

* I will make your dining reservations, help with your online check-in and other various tasks, freeing up your time.
There are many moving parts to planning a Disney trip, and I will help you coordinate all of those.  On the day you can make your Disney dining reservations, I will wake up early so we can try and reserve as many of your choices as are available.  When it comes time to do your online resort or cruise line check in, I am happy to do that for you or help guide you through the process.  If there is any new information released about the parks or cruise line, I will pass that along to you so you the information you need going into your vacation.

* You're working with someone who has extensive Disney travel experience and knows the ropes.
In addition to being a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge, I have traveled to Disney World and on Disney Cruise Line since 1998.  I am also adding trips to Disneyland and on Adventures by Disney in the near future.  I also read many Disney fan sites, blogs and news releases so I am up-to-date on new information and changes to the parks and cruise line.  As you can probably tell, I LOVE Disney and I love helping people plan their vacations to some of the most magical places on Earth.  If you don't have a lot of travel experience with Disney, or haven't been in a while, it's great to have someone as a resource who can guide you on resorts, attractions, touring strategies, etc.

* All of this does not cost you anything.  My trip planning services are free!
Yes, you read that right - FREE.  As in costs nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  Disney pays our service fees, so it doesn't cost you a penny extra to have someone help with the details and planning.
