Day one of our Alaskan adventure was a success! 🎉

We all stayed in various hotels throughout Vancouver and were truly taken back by the beautiful city. The port was easy to get to and very well managed. 🏙️

Our large, multigenerational group which consists of friends and family, boarded the Disney Wonder with excitement. For some in our party, they have now experienced ALL of the Disney ships! 🚢

The kids played and felt at home while the adults settled in and took in the details of the Wonder. 🧳

The sailing has been super calm and the scenery has been breathtaking- seeing land on both sides at all times! 🏔️

We have another day at sea today as we make our way to Alaska! We can’t wait to continue sharing our journey! 📸

Comment below with what you are excited to see! ⬇️

I’m beyond grateful and so proud to a part of the ET Family Travel Team, Ellen & Tori are the most supportive owners and truly love the travel industry! This article is in today’s Newsday!

Curious about who makes the magic behind ET Family Travel? Now is your chance to learn more about Ellen Volpe - owner at ET Family Travel, LLC and Tori - Owner at ET Family Travel!

"A mutual love for vacationing at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and taking trips to other locations put two Long Island mothers on the road to starting a business that now produces up to $3 million a year in revenue.

Our biggest competitor is the internet and large booking sites like hotels.com,” explained Volpe, a 44-year-old mother of four who met Tomasheski on Facebook. “But the internet suppliers don’t have firsthand experience at the resorts like we do,
and they won’t provide concierge-level service the way our agents will.”

“Travel agents are able to assist their clients if something comes up before their trip or while they are on their trip,” Tomasheski said. “We are problem- solvers and able to plan and modify as needed, taking the stress out of travel planning for our customers.”

So excited for my first AEP with ✨🏰

05/09/2022

I can not wait to take part is this amazing opportunity with this team later this week! I’m beyond grateful to have been asked and I’m excited to learn some things that will help ensure that my clients have the most amazing WDW experience possible!

Labor Day may be the unofficial end to summer, but at ET Family Travel the fun never really ends...

Follow along later this week as our team descends on Walt Disney World for our annual Agent Education Program (AEP)!

This is one of the highlights of our year, when we get to bring together a group of our talented, hard working agents to further our learning about how to bring the best WDW experience to our clients!

For three days we will:
🏨 Embark on resort tours, to showcase the various accommodations and resort types available
📖 Have a classroom training to increase our knowledge of the Disney products
👩‍🏫 Learn from each other while sharing planning tips and strategies
🎃 Celebrate our accomplishments together at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party

This may seem like fun - and of course it is, we're in Walt Disney World - but make no mistake, behind the scenes these agents are the hardest working team that we know. We are proud of what we are able to accomplish when working as a team and can't wait to see where the future will lead us!

A few updates to Walt Disney World’s park pass reservation system!!

Walt Disney World announced a few updates to their park pass reservation system going into effect August 23, 2022:

—Park pass reservations will now be pooled from one allotment for both annual passholders and standard theme park ticket holders.

—Guests will now be able to make park pass reservations for multiple ticket types in one transaction (annual passes + standard tickets) for up to 30 ticketed guests at a time.

—Guests will now be able to modify their park pass reservation date and/or park instead of having to entirely cancel and rebook a park pass.

The park pass booking process will remain similar to the current process. From the My Disney Experience Website (the app will redirect you) find the park pass reservation page, then:

1. Select your travel party’s tickets (up to 30 ticketed guests);

2. Select your park date;

3. Select your park (if you have a park hopper ticket you still only need a park pass for the first park you plan to visit);

4. Review and confirm.

As always, reach out to your ET Family Travel agent with any questions, or comment below!

As most of you know I started booking Disney vacations for family and friends a few years ago because of my love for Disney. I decided to work with an agency as a home based agent and I was lucky enough to get some clients via word of mouth.

Disney destinations are my specialty but I can help you with any of your vacation needs! Let me help you plan that magical trip at NO COST TO YOU!

I pride myself on providing personalized, concierge service to all my clients which means I can save you time and money.
