USING A TRAVEL AGENT FOR YOUR WALT DISNEY WORLD VACATION
Building on my recent material on using travel agents for your Walt Disney World trip, I asked Allison at Destinations in Florida Travel to help further explain what travel agents can do for visitors to Walt Disney World.
In response, she sent a testimonial one of her customers had drafted. I provide it (lightly edited) below.
THE TRAVEL AGENT DIFFERENCE: A FREE PERSONAL DISNEY WORLD ASSISTANT
Just this weekend, I purchased for $15 an organizer called Mickey’s Personal Disney Assistant. As I was looking over this item, I realized that is exactly what the agents do at Destinations in Florida Travel. They are personal Disney World Assistants. Instead of $15, they are FREE!
They help you book your trip and then that is where their services really tart. They watch for future discounts, help with restaurant suggestions, book dining reservations, schedule spa treatments, make fun suggestions for your days at the Parks, and so much more.
Just recently, one my friends visited Disney World. It was a last minute trip for her family and they really wanted a dinner at Chef Mickey’s. Unfortunately, at the time of booking her package, this restaurant was booked up.
Her agent (from Destinations in Florida Travel) told her that she would watch for any cancellations while they were at Disney World. The 2nd night of her vacation a cancellation came available for Chef Mickeys. My friend received a text message with the confirmation details. Her family was thrilled that they got to eat at this special restaurant with Mickey Mouse.
For myself personally, I booked a package for September. My package was completely paid in full. My agent at Destinations in Florida Travel called me a few weeks ago to let me know that a new discount came available and I was going to save $580 on my package with this new discount.
A refund for the difference was on the way to my credit card account. I was shocked! They already sold me the package and I was paid in full. However, they still helped me save more money. I have never received service like this anywhere.
These are the little extra services that agents and more specifically agents at Destinations in Florida Travel can do for you. It can be something as small as texting a dining reservation to a guest at Disney World to helping a guest coordinate the perfect location to propose. These agents get excited to help with all of the extra details for a Disney World vacation.
When you really think about all of the help you get to save you money and time on your trip to Disney, it is amazing that the services all of their agents provide are actually FREE. Get your free personal Disney World Assistant TODAY!
Thanks Allison!

Hi Dave,
Me again! Thank you for the time and wealth of information you put into this site. Quick question about travel agents and in particular, the people you like to work with. Most of the agents won’t help you unless you stay on Disney grounds. I’m not against that, but I’m trying to find the best deal for my pockets. Do they help you compare on site vs. off site? Thanks!
Thanks Allison! Some of your specifics I can’t comment on, but in general the benefit of a travel agent is saving you time, and the cost is losing control. For first-time visitors I think they can help a lot…
