🐝Buyer Beware! Don’t get me wrong I love Costco and other big box stores it isn’t the place to buy everything. 🏪Booking directly or with a travel agent at times can be slightly more expensive but often it is cheaper. How the big stores beat the direct with Disney price is by pre-booking X amount of rooms at a resort for each week. Disney gives them a discount for the large purchase and they pass it on to you. Seems simple. But when they do this they become the vendor, not Disney so the terms and conditions of your vacation are different. 🥹When you book directly with Disney or a TA you only have to put down $200 on a package and can pay whatever you want each month until the total is due 30 days beforehand. If you think you need to cancel before the 30 days you get back 100% of whatever you paid. If you are closer to the date of your vacation you can often change the dates to what works better for you. If you buy from Costco, you better get travel insurance(which you should get anyway) because you have to put down 41% of the cost and there is no refund for that amount. 😡This doesn’t even take into consideration that if something goes wrong, you don’t get the room you book or anything else there is no one to help you. Ask anyone who had booked a vacation through a box store in March of 2020. That is what a travel advisor does, we take the stress of planning away and the worry of something going wrong. Follow along to see other ways of making your vacation less stressful.😁

🎅Up here in the NE is pays to decorate outside early. So I will start pulling out all the outdoor lights and decor today and put it up over the weekend. I won't plug it in until Thanksgiving night, but I will be putting it out in 50 degree weather and not the 30's we will have at the end of the month. Always gotta be planning ahead. 🎀
🎒Don’t lose your bag! I love the quick release latches on my bag most days. But on a busy travel day through busy airports ✈️or in a big tourist destination I find myself always checking to see if it is there. 🗼So since we always have wire ties around the house I started to use them to make sure my bag was going to stay where it is. They are also great as makeshift luggage locks.🧳 Share this tip with the friend you love to travel with.

🤯Unpopular Opinion - 🏰Magic Kingdom isn’t my favorite park during the holidays. I would rather go to Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom. Hollywood Studios🎥 just takes me back to a different time and I really enjoyed Jollywood Nights last year. Animal Kingdom 🐯seems to turn more into a winter wonderland in the middle of Florida. You can sit in Nomad Lounge and watch Santa🧑🎄 as he floats by or go visit him in Dinoland. On top of this, they both have lower crowds than Magic Kingdom. So if you are there during the holidays don’t forget about these two great gems. 🎋Follow along for all the good tips about Disney. #disneyholiday #wdwchristmas #animalkingdom #hollywoodstudios #makememories #worryfreevacation
👻Who You Gonna Call? A good travel advisor. When my clients travel, I monitor whatever the transportation is for delays or early arrivals. That way I can give them a heads-up and adjust the pickup or transfer that needs to happen on the other end. 🚂On to the train between LA and Chicago. When my client first had problems with her engine, she wasn’t too worried about it because the porter thought they would get to Chicago in time with the new engine. I sent her a text letting her know that it looked like only a 4ish hour delay. But I keep an eye on it. 👀It turned into a 7-hour delay. This would cause her to miss her connection. Before she knew something was wrong, I called Amtrak to see what the next step was📱 They automatically booked her on the next train, leaving the next day at 9 pm, and when she arrived at the station she needed to speak to the station agents and they would arrange a hotel room for her. 🏨A few hours later after seeing the delay keep getting longer it became apparent that they would not arrive in Chicago while the station agents were still there. I called Amtrak again and was told that I should arrange a hotel and that Amtrak would reimburse her. I set her up at a nice hotel near Union Station and arranged for a car to pick her up. Since it would be at 1 am. I can cancel the car up to an hour before pickup and I continue to monitor the progress of the train. 🙁 ended up moving the pickup time twice, then canceling it and the hotel, when at 3 am it became apparent that they wouldn’t get in until 630am, 16 hours late.🤯Once at Union Station, the station agents take care of my client, giving her a place to rest for the day and vouchers for food. I called Amtrak again and got her a voucher for the cost of that leg of the trip, $980. Was this all something someone could do on their own? Yes, but while my client slept, I took care of her so she didn’t have to worry. If you are looking for worry-free travel, follow along.⛓

🏪Don’t Book with the big box stores just because they are cheaper! Why? You get what you pay for and sometimes the deals aren’t as good as they look. The big stores bulk buy vacations so you can get a lower price. The problem is that by doing so they have eliminated any personal touch that vacation might need.😭 The 800# they give you to call with problems doesn’t really care and the resorts or cruise lines consider these bookings as not a high priority. On top of this, the store will change the cancellation or change policies from the original resort and most times after 48 hours you can no longer get all of your money back. Booking with a travel advisor puts a real caring person in your corner to help you get on a different flight when yours is canceled, iron out the issue with a room, and most importantly, be there during your vacation to help if needed. ☝️So tap and follow to see how a travel advisor can help you and all the awesome places I can send you.
