You’ve Got a Friend in Your Travel Agent

There are many reasons to use the help and support of a Disney authorized travel agent when booking your vacation. Travel agents have a wealth of knowledge and experience, can provide tailored recommendations to fit your family’s interests, needs, and budget, and can lighten your load, taking over some of your research and planning.

1. Extensive Disney Resort Knowledge

Walt Disney World Orlando is made up of four main theme parks, dozens of resort hotels, a sports complex, water parks, a shopping district, and more. California has two theme parks, 3 Disney hotels and a Downtown Disney District. It can all get a bit complicated.

On top of all of these options, things are constantly changing. With park hours shifting, restaurants opening and closing, and changes in booking policies, the best bet is to turn to someone whose job it is to keep up to date on everything Disney.

You'll especially appreciate expert advice with the addition of Disney park technology. From My Disney Experience, Lightning Lane, and MagicBands, if you're not a regular park visitor, these helpful add-ons can cause some confusion. A Disney travel agent will be familiar with everything your family needs to best navigate the parks and resorts.

2. Passion for Disney

A Disney travel agent becomes a Disney travel agent because they love Disney. Disney travel agents bring that love and passion for the parks and resorts into the planning process. Your travel agent will have first-hand experience and will be happy to walk you through all of your questions and provide recommendations. Get your agent's opinions on anything from how long to plan your visit for, age-appropriate rides and attractions, and can't-miss dining options.

3. Time Savings

While planning a family Disney vacation is a lot of fun, it also takes a lot of time and research. It can all be overwhelming, from choosing flights to deciding where to stay, figuring out TEXT HERE, learning about all the optional add-ons, picking the best places to eat, and creating an itinerary that works for everyone.

You can spend hours, days, or weeks reading articles and researching everything on your own, or you can make things much easier on yourself and ask the experts. Leaning into the expertise of a Disney travel agent can make an immense difference.

Disney travel agents will be aware of any Disney ticket deals and ensure you get the best price. If you do not have specific dates in mind, be sure to ask your agent about the best times to visit. Different promotions run throughout the year. Get Away Today agents work directly with Disney and know exactly what deals are in effect and can be applied toward your vacation.

Not only can we help you save money on ticket prices, but we often have relationships with nearby hotels and other attractions, which allow them to put together perfect Disney Parks and hotel packages.
