For some the idea of booking their vacation through someone else seems like an unnecessary and outdated way to travel. Anyone can google, book, and plan their own trip with all of the resources available on the internet these days; however, before you click “Book Now” on your next Disney vacation I recommend considering the following six reasons why it might be worth booking with a Disney Travel Agent.
Knowledge and Experience:
Disney Travel Agents have most likely been the person in their friend group who is always asked for tips, tricks, and advice when it comes to planning a Disney vacation. They have been to Disney enough that navigating the resorts, parks, rides, Genie+, eateries, and other facets of a Disney vacation truly has become second nature. They have walked the parks many times and are bringing that experience to your vacation. Additionally, each Disney travel agent should be a “Disney College” graduate meaning that they have completed training that covers each park and experience offered by Disney.
Disney is Constantly Changing
The number of times that Disney will change it’s rules or policies between when you book your trip and when you go is only limited by the number of days between those two dates. A Disney travel agent is going to be your best resource to stay up-to-date on those ever changing policies. As you plan, prepare for, and even pack for your trip a Disney travel agent can help you understand the newest guidelines for the park. They know the specifics of things such as what is allowed or not allowed in the park, how Genie+ works, or when and how reservations can be made is an invaluable resource that can save you time and energy.
Disney is Overwhelming:
There is no shame in needing help with planning a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. The rules and offerings are constantly changing with Disney so it is easy to miss things with all the moving pieces. From quotes through your trip your travel agent is there to help you understand each step along the way so that your vacation can be magical.
Saving Time:
Planning a Disney trip takes time. From finding the ideal room, to booking the best dining, and planning your park days it can be a huge time commitment. Having someone who knows the parks well enough to make recommendations and make reservations for you can be a huge help. Furthermore, a Disney travel agent can help create itineraries that will guide your days in the park to be efficient so that you’re able to get the most out of your Disney Vacation.
Free:
You read that right. Disney Travel Agents are free to use. Disney pays their commission at no additional or hidden cost to you. While some agents do choose to charge a fee for additional planning services that are above and beyond the standard park visit, most do not come with an extra price tag.
Additional Savings:
On top of being free, Disney travel agents are able to save you money. The price savings that you receive when you book with a travel agent doesn’t come from special pricing they are able to access but from their knowledge. Agents are diligent about monitoring your reservations after booking so that any new discounts that need to be applied even well after you’ve booked. This can be particularly helpful for those who have planned far in advance.
