This means other rides will have longer lines & wait times- make sure you plan accordingly! Reach out if you need a strategy, we’re happy to help!

Here’s a throwback photo during our trip in 2019- we were riding when the fireworks started and it was awesome. This was for sure one of my favorite times riding BTM!

This is easily one of my favorite rides at Magic Kingdom.

Epcot is such a special place to experience so many cultures and restaurants. There are great rides to choose from here as well. The most popular Genie+ attractions are Remy, Test Track and Frozen. These top 3 rides tend to fill up first on Genie+ so if you can snag these first, then focus on the others, you may score 3 - 5 lightning lanes (or more) on your visit.

Why you should hire a Disney Travel Advisor in the Modern Era Part 3

Resources
Agents have an endless amount of resources and a huge network of Travel Professionals to refer to. This is something a travel website won’t offer to you. Agents tend to be the first to be notified when a supplier announces new promos and discounts as well.

No Upselling
This is our own business, so we're not pressured to make certain amounts on commission. We offer honest opinions on hotels, parks and dining. We promise to be truthful and upfront about hotels, parks and dining. We do this job because it’s my passion, not for the dough!

So, what’s included when you book with an Agent? Here are a few of the services we offer:

Dining Reservations
A Disney Vacation Planner can help make dining reservations and give recommendations for the best restaurants for your tastes. It’s become increasingly difficult to reserve tables at popular restaurants like Be our Guest or Topolino's. People tend to get up at 5:00 AM on their 60-day mark to ensure they get a reservation. Although there are never any guarantees, we are happy to get up in the wee hours to try and snag a reservation or set up systems to alert us when they become available.

Genie+ and Lightning Lanes
Offer handouts, knowledge and education about the benefits and strategy for obtaining these items. We can't do this for you but we are here for guidance!

Packages
Some packages offer discounts if you book during certain seasons. Other discounts seem great, but are not worth it once you read the fine print. we can help decipher the best discounts for you. If you find a discount before we do, we can add it to your package, no problem.

Resorts
We have plenty of recommendations here. We can also help you make special requests like arranging to have a crib for your room or asking for ADA accommodations as well.

There you have it! Your own personal assistant who will answer to all your Disney needs and it’s completely free to you.

Why you need a Disney Travel Agent in the Modern Era PART 2:

Help from an Expert
Disney Travel Agents are a passionate group and have either traveled to Disney many times or love to research Disney. All our trips help us learn more about the parks and all its offerings. We can give you honest reviews about resorts, rides, restaurants and general information and tailor your vacation to you and your family’s needs/desires. We graduated from the Disney College of Knowledge, which is a Travel Agent training program designed to prepare Agents for booking Disney vacations. Easy to say, we know our stuff!

We’re Planners!
We don’t just book your vacation; we do all of the planning for you! Unless you want to do some of the planning, then of course, you’re welcome to do so. Booking a Disney vacation may seem easy with the endless amount of information on the internet. However, this much information can be overwhelming. With our insider knowledge, we’re here to help discover what is best for you and your family. And as far as planning logistics, we’re here for that too. Think of us as your personal planner.

We do our best to accommodate your preferences and do as much of the nitty-gritty work like dining reservations as we can. This way, you can focus on the important things, like enjoying your vacation!

What’s more? We LOVE to do it. Crazy, right?

Why You Need a Disney Travel Agent in the Modern Era

The idea is the entire family should enjoy the experience and the planning should be as exciting as the vacation. To help make this possible, you can hire a Disney Vacation travel advisor to do all of the legwork! Many families don’t realize this is an option or they assume it comes with a huge sticker price. Not true!

Hiring a Disney Travel Advisor is also great because they can help you find the best deals on Disney tickets and experiences and make your Walt Disney World vacation unforgettable.

All Services are Free, Free, Free!

Sounds too good to be true, right? Let me tell you how our services are free. Suppliers like Disney and most other hotel and tour companies pay Travel Agents a commission when they book on their behalf. If they’re not paying a Travel Agent the commission, the company just absorbs said commission. They pay Agents because a) we’re doing their job for them and b) planning a Disney trip is complicated and time-consuming. Some people are deterred by the amount of work that goes into planning a Disney trip, so they’d rather not put out the effort. If Disney didn’t have Travel Agents to make the process easier, they’d lose potential vacationers (i.e. money).

Hiring a Disney Vacation Travel Advisor can take the stress out of planning your Disney World vacation helping you enjoy the magical experience more.
