It's decided. You and your family are going to Disney.
The lure of walking down Main Street USA and getting your first (or more) glimpse of the regal castle fresh in your brain. You're excited to experience all of the characters and attractions with the ones who mean the most to you. Now, in order for the magic to begin, you have to get your hands a little bit dirty. You need to plan this amazing adventure. But how? Where do you begin? What does it mean to be a Value, Moderate, or Deluxe Resort? What do you mean there's a dining plan, let alone different options? Do I need a hopper pass? How will I get to and from the airport? Well, this is where your fairy godmother steps in, also known as your Disney Travel Agent.
My husband Matthew has been an agent with Magical Vacation Planner since 2019. He's the guy you see running on the UPMC ads (those big billboards- that's him). Not only is he an amazing Chemistry professor, marathon runner, and dad but he's one of the best travel agents around. Why would you want him to plan a trip for you? He's smart (the man has a doctorate from Carnegie Mellon University in Chemistry- he can crunch numbers like a pro), he's organized, sensible, patient, kind and more than likely, he's experienced every possible situation that can happen while on a Disney trip. He is a father of five after all.
Let's talk about why using a travel agent is a smart move. First, they can automatically apply deals to your reservation should one pop up during your stay. Are you going to want to keep checking for deals yourself? I know I don't have time for that, but I do love to save money. That's a huge plus in my book. Next, a travel agent is there to help with all of the other logistics of your trip. By understanding what works for your budget, the goals you want to accomplish, and the accommodations of your family, your travel agent can tailor your trip to meet your specific needs. Are you traveling with little ones? Your travel agent can direct you to the attractions that are age appropriate instead of having you wander aimlessly looking for what you want. Traveling with teens or older? Your travel agent will recommend resorts that are better suited for more mature individuals. Finally, your travel agent will give you all of their tips, tricks and advice when it comes to having a successful experience at Disney World. Should something unexpected arise, your travel agent can help you figure out a solution. To have that stress and worry lifted off of your shoulders is a blessing itself.
We have been traveling to Disney World since 2010 and annually since 2013. We are passholders, participants of the runDisney events, and we have traveled with our children at various ages from infant to teens. We have had trips where we all came down with illnesses and trips where we needed to rent scooters. We have lost items; we have been through the gamut and know the ins and outs of navigating what can potentially be a stressful situation and make it seamless. Why not trust your travel agent to make your experience as easy as possible?
So, I've convinced you that maybe using a travel agent is probably a good idea, right? Now you might be wondering how much is this service going to cost? Well, brace yourself... the answer is NOTHING. This service is absolutely FREE. What does your travel agent get out of this deal? Don't worry, they do receive compensation, however, they also receive the satisfaction of using their knowledge and skills to help others.
With Christmas just around the corner, why not gift an experience? One that can be a memory to last a lifetime. If Disney is not your jam, we also book for Universal, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts as well. Why not shoot Matthew a message today and get the ball rolling on your next adventure?
