How do you know when it‘s the right time to call in reinforcements to help with your travel planning?

Let me share with you the straw that broke the camel’s back for many of my current clients.

👉They were overwhelmed with the sheer number of travel options for where to stay and what to do and ended up with decision paralysis.

👉They were frustrated that reading online reviews, articles, and blogs did not actually clarify things for them but added to the noise and confusion.

👉They started trying to book things but realized halfway through that they just didn’t have the time for travel planning to become another full-time job.

If you‘re reading this and thinking, "This all sounds too familiar," then get in touch with us and let us take the overwhelm and drama off your shoulders.

This is what travel nightmares are made of 😬

You or your partner forgot to confirm the rental car.

The hotel is overbooked, and you get bumped.

Your resort room is up to par.

You don’t work in the travel industry without seeing a thing or two.

Take a deep breath. This too shall pass.

And if you want to avoid any of these travel nightmares in the future, our team can help!

"Isn‘t it too early to be thinking about spring trips?"

Some advice from your travel advisor:

It‘s NEVER too early.

If you’re planning your Spring Break trip now, you’re way ahead of the curve:

➡️ You get first pick and can lock in the best rooms at those high-demand resorts and hotels before they fill up.

➡️ You have a little more time to make decisions. Your advisor will send you a personalized proposal with the options they think will best fit your travel goals and help you weigh out the choices!

➡️ One less thing to stress about. Get it locked into your calendar so you have something to look forward to.

Let’s get you ahead of the Spring travel game. Reach out so we can start planning!

Fall travel reminders if you’re taking a trip this cozy season.
📌 Bookmark so you don’t lose track of this!

🍁 Double-check for seasonal closures: Some attractions and businesses may close or reduce hours after summer, so make sure you check ahead of time to avoid any disappointments.

🍁 Be ready for the weather: Depending on where you’re going, don’t forget to pack for chilly evenings and rain.

🍁 Don’t forget about harvest season: It may not be the reason you’re traveling specifically, but don’t forget to add those local farms, orchards, or vineyards to your itinerary!

🍁 Beware of the foliage crowds: Popular leaf-peeping spots can get really crowded, so plan ahead, arrive early, or hunt for those lesser-known spots.

🍁 Take advantage of shoulder season perks: As tourism slows after the summer rush, make sure you’re taking advantage of lower prices, special deals, and more personalized service at hotels, resorts, and tours.

🍁 Remember that days are shorter: Daylight saving time is around the corner, and daylight hours are shorter. This may impact how you put together your itinerary.

➡️ And the ultimate fall travel hack?

Here’s the thing about booking your family getaway on a website like Expedia or Truvago versus working with us to plan your trip.

We’re both the bridge or connection point of sorts between you and the various elements of your trip.

Things like your hotel or resort, your transportation, and the tours and experiences you book.

But here’s where things are different:

➡️ When you book online, you get passive support that leaves you mostly responsible for your booking.

When you plan with one of our advisors, they're a very active and involved partner in your trip. You’re not left to figure it out on your own.

➡️ When you book online, you’re directed to the hotel or tour company to sit on hold when things don’t go according to plan.

When you plan with us, you always have someone who can step in to assist. We know who to call for support, so you don’t have to sit on hold.

➡️ When you book online, you’re getting hotel, resort and tour suggestions based on what a search algorithm thinks you should see. And in some cases, you’re seeing the options that have paid to be more visible.

When you plan with Willow + Wand, you’re getting unbiased personalized recommendations based on your unique travel preferences and what truly makes the most sense for the type of trip you want to take.

Just a few of the ways we're different than booking online, and if you’re curious whether working with us makes sense for your next trip, don’t hesitate to send us an email at [email protected]

Handcrafted Vacations FAQ

Why should I use a travel agent for my Disney vacation when I can do it myself for free?

Using a travel agent IS free! You get the benefit of a stress-free planning process and a wealth of Disney knowledge at your fingertips at absolutely NO COST to you. Disney wants their guests to have a magical experience at their destinations, so they offer training and pay agents to provide personalized service to make your vacation as memorable as possible. Utilizing Handcrafted Vacations ensures that you won’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to book your FastPass selections, spend hours refreshing the page in the hopes of getting the coveted Be Our Guest dining reservation, or researching what in the world a MagicBand even does.

Are you affiliated with Disney?

No. I’m an independent travel agent working through The Vacationeer. Our agency specializes in Disney vacations, whether it be to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Adventures by Disney, Aulani or Disney Cruise Line.
