I’m so glad you asked! I understand it can be confusing and whether this is your first time at Disney or your a repeat magic seeker, I can help you along the way! Here’s how the process works:
Client (hey, that’s you!) reaches out saying they want a vacation
I ask my clients to fill out a brief form to let me know their travel preferences. This helps me to get to know you a little better and understand your travel style so I can create the BEST vacation package for YOU!
After I review your answers, I put together a custom quote for you, all at NO COST. Usually I include 3 - 4 options for you to consider, we discuss these over the phone or via email and I’ll either make some changes to best fit YOUR needs, and from there we find the PERFECT vacation package for you and we’re ready for magic…
From there, I’ll book the trip and process the deposit on your behalf, easy peasy and stress free for you!
For Disney clients, I make sure your My Disney Experience account is set up correctly and link your vacation package.
I remind you of important dates coming up in the pre-planning process, more important the coveted dining reservation window for Disney vacations, final payments and booking any ground transfers (if requested).
Speaking of dining… we’ll chat a few days before your dining window opens to make sure I have a good understanding of what you are looking for. The day you dining window opens up, I wake up at 6am ET and make ALL your reservations.
And ground transfers - once you have your flights booked, send those my way and I’ll send you some ground transportation options. You can ALWAYS rent a car or use Uber/Lyft at Disney and Universal.
The BEST part (I think…) is I put together a customized, detailed itinerary for each and every client. The itinerary is PACKED FULL of information and helpful tips to make your vacation the most magical vacation possible. No two trips are the same. Your cousin’s, friend’s, sister’s, uncle who went “that one time last month”…guess what?!?! The information they are giving you is already outdated. As a Disney and Universal expert, I stay up-to-date on all things happening across all the them parks, plus I take several trips throughout the year to make sure I know exactly what I’m talking about. ALL of the advice, information, and tips is based on my personal experience, and the experience of the 40+ travel experts at Middle of the Magic Travel!
OH, here’s a great one -if a special offer comes out after a client has booked, I always check their reservation to see if it qualifies for the offer. Recently Disney announced a new offer and guests who booked on their own were waiting over an hour to access their reservation, using a travel planner, we do the changes for you so less time waiting on the phone to chat with Disney.
And guess what?!?! I do all of this for no extra cost! That’s right! You see, suppliers (i.e. Disney, Universal, cruise lines, etc) all add in the cost of a travel planner to their pricing. If you book with a travel planner (me ) the supplier sends me that cost (commission) AFTER your trip is completed. If you don’t use a travel planner then the supplier just keeps that cost. So really, using a travel planner is supporting a SMALL BUSINESS!
So, why not use a service you are already paying for? I’m here for you every step of the way, and OH, there is NEVER an hour wait to chat with me on the phone. ;)
