DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
Let's Recap!
1. Most of Them Specialize Only in Disney Vacations
Most Authorized Disney Vacation Planners deal only in Disney destinations (hence the name!). Sure, your regular travel agencies will offer some knowledge, but they won’t know everything. And it’s the finer details that can be the difference between you having a good trip and a magical one.
It’s worth noting that destinations vary, though. MickeyTravels, for starters, deals with Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort California, Disney Cruise Line Vacations, Adventures by Disney Vacations and Aulani Resort. Others, however, extend to the likes of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
2. They Have In-Depth Disney Knowledge
Authorized Disney Vacation Planners’ travel agents have a pretty high “Disney IQ”. Being a regular visitor at Walt Disney World Resort is one thing, but specializing in several Disney destinations is another. On top of that, they also keep up to date with all the latest offers, news and more.
This is no surprise, considering that the travel agents are required to graduate from the Disney College of Knowledge (what a great name!). The agents offer years of experience, so be sure to take advantage of that. Remember - the more you get out of them, the more you’ll get out of your trip!
3. They Custom-Build Your Trip
Another great thing about an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner is that they’ll custom-build your trip for you, and will try their best to accommodate all your needs. So make sure you prepare a list of everything before getting in touch.
Not sure which Disney Resort Hotel to stay at? Don’t worry – your travel agent will make the best suggestions suited to your needs. Don’t know how to put together your itinerary? They’ve got this covered, too. It’s probably easier to just think of them as your Fairy Godmother!
4. Your Experience With Them is a Personal One
An Authorized Disney Vacation Planner’s goal is simple - to book for you the most magical Disney trip possible. And if you want to know where the best place to dine is after a certain event, or if you discover a new offer that “wasn’t there before”, you're in good hands.
Your travel agent will be available throughout the entire journey to answer your questions. Whether you’re going alone or with a group, or whether you’re a first-timer or a Disney Fanatic, they’ll see your booking all the way from “once upon a time” to “happily ever after”!
5. They Look Out for the Best Deals
Where do you even begin to look for the best deals, and how do you really know you’re getting the best one? After all, the internet is such a vast place! What’s a good deal and what isn’t? And how many windows do you need to open to compare all those prices? Aaargh!
Choosing an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner is about getting more magic out of your trip. But it’s also about getting more for your dollar, too. No Disney destination is cheap, so your travel agent will keep their eyes peeled for discounts, promotions, offers and deals to help meet your budget.
6. They Strive to Eliminate Any Problems
Why make booking your trip any harder than it has to be? With an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, you don’t need to worry. That said, there might be times when problems arise. Perhaps you’ll change your mind about something, or maybe there will be unforeseen circumstances.
Whichever Authorized Disney Vacation Planner you choose, your travel agent will be with you all the way, and will liaise with Disney throughout. They’ll do all the work for you behind the scenes to make your trip as “problem-free” as possible. So there's only one thing for you to do - "Hakuna Matata"!
7. Everything is in One Place
From flights and hotel transfers to park tickets and all that’s in between, with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner you’ll find that everything is in one place. This also includes extras such as Disney Dining Plans and things like Memory Maker and PhotoPass.
So there’s no need to visit other websites or make any other phone calls. In fact, if you already have a trip in the works, you can still get in touch with them. You never know - they might be able to add some of their own pixie dust to it!
While you're always free to book through Disney Holidays, just remember that an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner has been given the “Disney seal of approval”. So “put their free service to the test” and let them design a Disney trip that’s just the best!
