Booking with an Agent saves you SO MUCH TIME, and our services are FREE! We can also save you money!

You can spend time on hold if you want OR you could email/call your Pirates & Princesses Travel, Travel Agent!‼️

There is so much value that a Travel Agent can bring to your vacation including personalized itinerary planning, time and cost savings, professional preparation for your vacation, plus so much more!

When booking a vacation through Pirates & Princesses Travel, we don’t JUST book your vacation, we provide premium, concierge(complimentary) services. We are with you every step of the way AND let you be in control of your vacation as much or as little as you want. It’s YOUR vacation after all.

You are truly missing out on complimentary services that’s already included in your vacation cost when you book directly through the vendor, by not using a Travel Advisor.

There’s no hidden fees. It’s that simple!‼️

Do you still have questions on how the booking and planning process works through Pirates & Princesses Travel? Send us a message or comment below. We’d love to tell you more.

“We’ve decided to stay off-Disney property….”

Guess what?⁉️ We can STILL help with your stand alone ticket purchase AND you still receive our complimentary, concierge services! It’s a common myth that travel agents can only assist with packages but it’s just that - a myth! We can assist in booking your tickets, packages(room + tickets) or hotel only!

Send this to family or friends who maybe looking to visit WDW and wanting to stay off-site!

Ever wonder what we won’t do as your travel agent??? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Know what your travel agent will NOT do when booking a Disney Cruise!‼️

While there are thousands of travel agencies to choose from not all travel agencies work the same way! Each agency has different services that they provide to their clients.

Below are some things that we will not do when working with our Disney Cruise Line clients:
✨ We will not charge you more than what Disney Cruise Line would charge if you booked directly through them! When booking through Pirates & Princesses Travel, ALL payments are processed directly through DCL.

✨ We will not ask you to call Disney Cruise Line directly and handle something yourself that relates directly to your cruise reservation! We take care of ALL of those behind the scene details. This includes details such as dining request, payments, dietary or special request, changes to the reservation, etc.

✨ We will not ask you to book onboard bookings and/or excursions at midnight, unless you tell us that you want to! One of our complimentary, premium concierge services is to book your onboard activities and excursions when your booking window opens! Yes, we WILL stay up til midnight to secure these bookings for our clients and send them an email once we have secured the bookings.

✨ We will not pressure you into booking something that doesn’t make sense for your family. Most people think working with a travel agent means they will try to sell you on the highest sailing/stateroom possible but that’s not us! We will NEVER recommend something that doesn’t match your family’s vacation goals and budget. We may make recommendations but you are ultimately the one in control of your vacation and can always say yes or no.

When booking your Disney Cruise through Pirates & Princesses Travel, your best interest is our top priority! We are here to make the booking and planning process a little easier, as stress free as possible, and truly want your family to have a wonderful sailing with lifelong memories made! 🫶🏻

Tell me in the comments! Which character would you choose and why?

08/01/2024

🏰🚠 I ADORE the Disney Skyliner… SO many incredible memories made while riding! 🏰🚠

One of the most controversial topics of a Walt Disney World vacation….the Skyliner! That’s right!‼️Guests have very strong stances on the skyliner!

The Skyliner is one mode of transportation around the Walt Disney World property that conveniently connects Disney's Hollywood Studios and International Gateway at EPCOT to Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s POP Century Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Why is it so controversial?⁉️ Guests either love it or hate it, mainly due to fear of heights! We personally love it and find it so convenient. Plus, it’s just a fun way to travel around the WDW property!

How do you feel about the skyliner? Tell us in the comments 👇🏻

❤️ Love it
🤢 Terrified of it
🙃 Would consider it!

07/26/2024

🎡 I have personally researched DOZENS of resorts at Disneyland for my clients! We only recommend the best!!! This is a HUGE reason to use a Travel Agent! 🏰

How do you choose between 61 hotel options?‼️

With SO many choices to choose from with a Disneyland vacation package, it’s impossible to narrow the choices down without knowing the details of each of the hotel options. That’s where we come in!

With our knowledge, hands on experience and continuous training on all things Disney vacations, we know what to look at on each resort according to your budget, family dynamic and vacation goals. We can narrow down options and present the best choices for your family! When booking a Disney vacation through Pirates & Princesses Travel, you can trust that we have your best interest at heart and will do our best to create a seamless, stress-free planning process.✨

We say it all the time, but things at Walt Disney World literally change on a daily basis! Today, Disney’s fast pass system changed to Lightning Lane Single & Multi Pass from Genie+, which originally debuted Oct 2021. Disney’s fast pass system continues to be one of the most complicated areas for guests to understand and master while visiting Walt Disney World…which just so happens to be one of our specialities! ‼️

These daily changes at Walt Disney World don’t have to leave you feeling overwhelmed. When booking a WDW vacation package, room, or tickets through Pirates & Princesses Travel, we will be with you every step of the way. That includes alerting you of new changes, educating you on what those changes mean for your vacation, touring strategies for using Lightning Lane, etc.

Don’t book and plan a Disney vacation alone! Our concierge services are complimentary AND the price is identical as if booking directly through Disney. The difference is you have us every step of the way! ✨

Rank your favorite rides for Disney’s Animal Kingdom!!! See mine in the comments 👇

07/19/2024

Live like a Rock Star AND skip the line on most attractions by staying at Hard Rock Hotel at the Universal Orlando Resort! It truly doesn’t get better than a palm-lined swimming pool, rock memorabilia, recreation featuring live music AND less than a 5 minute walk to the theme parks! PLUS guests staying at Hard Rock Hotel will get FREE Universal Express Pass Unlimited included with their stay to skip the line on most attractions while visiting Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios(separate theme park admission required).

What’s better than feeling like a celebrity, relaxation and theme park fun! Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando has it ALL! 🎸

07/17/2024

A vacation to Universal Orlando just makes sense!

🎟️ It’s an easy vacation…All 3 theme parks are close together and within a 10-15 minute bus or boat ride from the resorts.

💸 You can go without breaking the bank! Universal is very affordable and has a lot of great onsite resort options that fits every budget, including all inclusive options! There’s also SEVERAL promotions that are currently available!

🎢 Early Park Entry for vacation packages and stand alone tickets(2 days or more) when booked through Pirates & Princesses Travel. Something that you won’t get when purchasing tickets through Universal directly. An hour early into the theme parks can make a HUGE difference in your day!

What are you waiting for? Let’s get started on your 2024 / 2025 Universal Orlando vacation. 🧳🎢🦖🪄🌋🌎

07/10/2024

Universal is definitely NOT just for teens and adults! Kids of ALL ages love it. I know my girls do! 🌎🎢

07/10/2024

3 WDW resort options we recommend for families with stroller-aged kids!

🚝 The Contemporary: There’s nothing like being able to walk right to the Magic Kingdom. Another bonus is guests will go through security on the short walk to Magic Kingdom instead of having to wait in the security lines for all other theme park guests. This alone can save a lot of time.

🎨 Art of Animation: This resort is kid approved due to the amazing theming and ammenities. The Skyliner station is located at Art of Animation making it very easy to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

🐎 Saratoga Springs: This resort has some amazing studios and 1-2-3 bedroom villas to give guests more space for all the things kids require such as extra space, bottles, diapers, lots of snacks, etc…PLUS, the villas have a full kitchen which is key for some families who want to save money on food.

Which resort would you choose to stay at? Tell us in the comments!

Wanting to book a Walt Disney World vacation but scared you will lose your $200 deposit if you can't go?⁉️

Disney is flexible with their change/cancellation policy. With any vacation package, a $200 deposit is required for booking with the final balance due 30 days prior to travel.

We live in unpredictable times, so let's run through some situations and outcomes, shall we?

🔎 Scenario: You need to move dates before your final payment date(30 days in advance from check in)
👉🏻 Outcome: The funds paid to the booking will be moved to the new dates. If there is a change in cost to the vacation package, you would have to pay the difference in price.

🔍 Scenario: You need to cancel.
👉🏻 Outcome 1: 31 days or more, you get a full refund
👉🏻 Outcome 2: Within 30 days there are penalties, which we can discuss with you in the quoting process.

And since we do live in unpredictable times, we always advise clients to purchase travel insurance.

While we never want to think we'd have to cancel, life happens and we understand. That’s why when you book through Pirates & Princesses Travel, all terms are provided for your review.

Let's get started with a quote request and go from there!‼️

A Walt Disney World vacation doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. Don’t settle with the mentality that you will be standing in lines all day long. You can do so much MORE! ✨

With a Travel Advisor on your side who knows all the ins and outs of Walt Disney World, the stress of planning will melt away.

Just imagine how incredible your Walt Disney World vacation will be when you aren’t spending all your time in lines.
