Why You Should Book Your Disney Vacation with Me…

Erica Kocher6.4.20I am often asked “why would I pay a travel agent when I can book it on my own?” Honestly, for eight years of vacation planning for my family, I had the same thought. Until I found Wishes Family Travel, I did not know how much I was missing.This biggest perk of booking with a Wishes Family Travel concierge agent is that our services are completely free of charge. That’s right, you don’t pay any more for your trip if you booked through me or on your own. The commission we earn is paid directly from the vacation supplier. What you are missing out on, if you book on your own, is all the services we have to offer you. For no additional charge, why not have all the benefits that your vacation supplier has to offer PLUS all the services we offer?What are those services, you ask? When booking a Walt Disney World vacation with a Wishes Family Travel agent, we walk you through your vacation from start to finish. Each vacation we plan is different because it is designed to fit YOUR family’s needs and wishes. We sit down and listen to what you are looking for in a vacation and then start the magic.After your initial consultation, we will prepare a vacation quote for you. We will make suggestions in that quote that can be added to your trip to enhance your experiences. You decide if any of those suggestions are added to your trip. Once you place the deposit on your trip (for Walt Disney World, the required deposit is only $200), your price will never go up, but we watch for discounts and promotions for you. Even if a promotion is released after you book, we will call in and have the best available offer applied to your reservation. We save you the time and hassle of having to wait on hold (sometimes for hours) to get that savings.As the dates approach for making reservations for dining, shows, and FastPass selections, we are right there with you. If you are open to suggestions, we can even advise you on which restaurants would fit your families likes and dislikes or which rides to choose FastPasses for to better plan your day. Then when the early morning hours of those reservations becoming available, you get to sleep in, and we go to work making the magic happen.If you like to be more hands on in your vacation planning, then you can do that, too. I personally enjoy the planning process just as much as I do the vacation. What I didn’t realize before meeting my Wishes Family Travel agent and becoming one myself was that there is so much more to a Disney vacation that I was missing. I love sharing my travel tips and experiences with my clients, so they can get the most out of their vacation experience.Before you leave for your vacation, you are provided with an itinerary based on your vacation priorities, such as, dining reservations, FastPass times, fireworks, parades, and shows. We base that itinerary on projected crowd levels and park hours for each park, so that you have the best experience possible while on vacation. The itinerary is detailed from start to finish so that you can simply enjoy your vacation. If something arises while you are on vacation, then I am here to assist you in any way possible.I completely understand how overwhelming the planning process can be. I have been planning vacations for my family and my friends for over 10 years now. I have made all the possible mistakes that can be made and learned from them. Since then, I have done the research, gone through training, and traveled more to ensure that I give you accurate and useful information for your vacation.Even if you have been to Walt Disney World before and you enjoy the planning process, you are in control of however much of the planning you want to do on your own. If you enjoy getting up and making all of your own reservations, then when you book with me, you still have me in your corner looking for newly released promotions, sharing the tips and tricks that I’ve learned in my years of traveling to Walt Disney World, or calling in to guest services for you, if something should arise.If you are someone who believes strongly in supporting small businesses, you are also helping support my business by booking your trip though me. If you book directly with Disney, the planning fees are already included in your price, but Disney gets to keep that money. Honestly, you can get all my services and pay no more than if you booked directly through Disney on your own! It’s a win-win for both of us.What are you waiting for? Let’s get booking your family’s next Disney adventure today! I would love to opportunity to work with you in making your trip everything you dream it will be. As your agent, I’ll help you with everything from finding your perfect package to grabbing those hard-to-get dining and FastPass reservations. I work with all Disney Destinations around the globe. As you learned earlier, all my services are complimentary for clients.
