Transfer Your Reservation to My Friends and Get a Cute Gift!



By Dave Shute

Destinations in Florida has been a sponsor and partner of this site for years–I’ll never forget the day that boss Allison emailed me out of the blue in the early days with something along the lines of “yourfirstvisit.net site is incredibly helpful!  Can we sponsor it?”

Over the years they’d trained their staff in it, dedicated staff to its readers, and even added a toll-free line just for the readers of yourfirstvisit.net.

Our relationship means that if you book your Disney World vacation through them, they spread a little pixie dust back to me–which helps in defraying the time and costs of researching and writing this site.

Every now and then they offer a special deal.  Now through August 15th, it’s transfer week–if you transfer your reservation to them, you get a cute little gift delivered to your room!

Disney Florist Gift from Destinations in FloridaJennifer at Destinations in Florida provided the following details (and the photo of the gift!):

Did you just spend hours on hold with Disney last week to get the new free dining or room discount?  How would like to get a free in room gift from Disney Florist and free services from our agency?   

All you have to do is transfer your existing reservation over to Destinations in Florida.

When you transfer your reservation, your reservation stays exactly the same.  The only change is our agency will be added to your reservation.  We can then help you plan the rest of your trip including itinerary planning, dining suggestions and reservations, and local experts (at your beck and call).  You also get lots of freebies including:

  • MousePerks – Hundreds of crafts, activities sheets, tips, and more created just for our guests.  Receive magic in your email box!
  • Orlando Magicards – Save hundreds to thousands of dollars on other activities in Orlando including dining, shopping, and recreation
  • Disney Theme Park Guide Maps – Learn your way around the parks, before you get there with Disney Theme Park Guide Maps
  • Pictures of Mickey Mouse – Your kids will love the pictures of Mickey Mouse!
  • Itinerary Planning – Learn how to save hours in lines at the parks and beat the crowds with personalized itinerary planning for your family.  This one free service is valued at $149.
  • Dining Suggestions/Reservations – Do you know the best restaurants for your family?  Our team has dined at every restaurant at Disney World.  We are considered restaurant experts at Disney World.  We know which restaurants are best for your visit and make suggestions based on your family.  Plus, we will book all of these reservations for you.  This free service is valued at $69 and is free for our guests!
  • Disney Florist In Room Gift – which includes the Mickey Treat Cooler with Mickey Mouse plush, Mickey clock, snacks, and Mickey Cooler (valued at $75).

It’s simple procedure to let Destinations in Florida Travel take over your reservation.   Just  click on this link and request a transfer.  We will email you a form to fill out.  You will sign the bottom of the transfer form and fax to Disney.  It then takes Disney about a week to add them to your reservation.  Everything else stays the same on your reservation.  Then let the fun begin!  Hurry – this promotion ends on August 15.

To book your Disney World vacation, contact Jennifer Johnson at Destinations in Florida Travel. Call her at 601-500-2492 or email her at jenniferjohnson@destinationsinflorida.com.  Be sure you mention yourfirstvisit.net for this special transfer promotion!

Can you transfer a reservation if you have already went through a travel agent to get the free benefits from Destination Florida? It would be fun to have free gift in our room.

Lisa, no–this is just for stuff you booked yourself…

…forgive me Dave, but I’m paranoid by nature. The extra goodies and itinerary help sound GREAT but what’s the catch here? There must be a payoff in the fine print somewhere. I’ve waited a long time for this trip and your advice has been AWESOME so far. I’m seriously considering adding “Destinations” to my reservation, but almost feel like the deal is too good to be true. ????

Liz: here’s what happens: if you transfer your reservation to them, they get a commission from Disney (this does not change your price at all). So the fine print is just that they get a benefit–whihc they then share with me…
