I've been called many things in my life, but one that ranks near the top in the excitement factor, sans the obvious mother and wife, is a Disney Destination Specialist. I would have to agree that I have more Disney knowledge than most, and as we all know -- this is okay with me! I know I am a dork when it comes to WDW and perhaps it is for this reason that I am most excited about my next venture.
My husband pokes fun at me for my Disney vacation planning. Now, I'm not talking about the trips that we will actually take, those are just in alternating summers. Specifically, I am referring to the WDW vacations that are planned whenever I get "The Fever." At any given moment, I may have 2-5 Disney vacation offers saved. In fact, at this moment, I even have dining reservations for hard-to-reserve restaurants at WDW for a future dream vacation that we likely will not take! Deep in my heart, I know that these trips will never come to fruition. But planning Disney Vacations is a great pastime! Perhaps I've even helped you plan one of yours!
It is for this reason that I have applied to be a "Magic Maker" with Off to Neverland Travel. This position would basically pay me commission for doing what I do already - plan Disney vacations. So...how does this help the general WDW-seeking traveller?
Using a Disney Specialist, or any travel agent for that matter, is a sweet deal for any traveller. This is especially true of the traveller with limited knowledge of the destination. By partnering with a Disney Specialist, or "Magic Maker", many of the questions that seem to have you stuck in your travel preparations are answered for you.
When is the cheapest time to travel to WDW?
Should I opt for the dining plan, and if so, which one do I choose?
Are my children to young to fully experience Disney?
Do I need to rent a car?
What are the differences between the types of resorts? Are Value Resorts really a value?
What is all the hype about Character Dining?
These are usually some of the most time-consuming questions that Disney travelers, new and experienced alike, find them selves researching. Let's be honest - the Internet is a phenomenal tool when planning any vacation, but can sometimes be a bit coy when trying to find Disney answers.
Another great perk is that a Disney Destination Specialist will also have access to discounted rates and other money and time-saving information to help you! And for even more money and time-saving help - using a travel agent is absolutely FREE to the traveler! Disney pays a commission to certified travel agents (in my case, Off to Neverland Travel), and therefore there is no cost to the traveler.
So...what are you waiting for?! Book that Disney Dream vacation! I will be thrilled to help you plan a magical vacation and answer those questions that are nagging at you!
Note: (1/28/2012) I was actually informed last night that my application with Off to Neverland Travel was declined. Declined!? No worries though, I have applied with two other companies, and have already gotten a call back. The dream is still alive!
Hello! I absolutely LOVE your job! We are possibly planning a trip for this summer to WDW and a Disney cruise in Jan 2014. Do you have an email address where I can ask you some questions? My email address is andi.carrel@alstribology.com
