“When you buy from a small business you’re not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy his team jersey, a mom put food on the table, a dad pay a mortgage or a student pay for college.”
I think it's fair to say that most people rely on travel planners for a Disney trip due to the overwhelming amount of stress it can take to plan. Sometimes it can feel like you need a PHD is Disney Resort Knowledge to make the most out of a Disney vacation or you will miss out on everything from dining, rides, buses, and so much more it becomes a chore of knowledge to the average person who simply wants to go on vacation to relax! This is where having a travel planner, like myself, who specializes in Disney travel makes your life infinitely easier because we handle all of the minute details for you at no extra cost. Let me restate that last bit for those that missed it at NO extra cost and that is true for all travel booked with an agent.
I bet you are wondering how that works and I am going to let you in on a major travel secret. As long as you are working with an agent who does not charge you for the initial meeting or their own booking fees you will not be paying anything extra for their services and knowledge. That is the secret: the commission is a fixed amount set by vacation suppliers whether you benefit from the use of a travel agent or not. When you use an agent the percentage a supplier has allocated goes to the agent out of your already fixed price you are paying for a vacation. When not using an agent you will still be paying the supplier (i.e. Disney, Universal, cruise line, airline, etc.) the exact same amount but piecing a DIY vacation together.
You would not want to go about a major home renovation without the proper team with the best knowledge and skill available to help you, and you should not settle for your vacation time to be spent that way either. You can start relaxing even before your trip by relying on me to do the hours of training and calling around to get you the best deals available for an amazing experience. That is what makes using a vacation planner valuable because they are building your vacation for you using their experience and expertise from suppliers about their locations. We receive training from all the vendors so that you do not have to feel like you need to pass a college course to enjoy your trip.
I try to explain supporting your local travel agent as being as valuable as supporting any other local or small business. You are allowing them to take stress off of you while providing you with a service that is invaluable at no extra cost to you. So, instead of further lining the pockets of a large corporation next time you travel please consider using me as your travel agent and I will close with a quote that best describes why I feel supporting small business is valuable!
