WHAT IS MY FIRST STEP TO BOOK A TRIP?
The first step is filling out the no-obligation Vacation Info Request Form.
​
DOES IT COST MORE TO BOOK WITH A TRAVEL AGENT?
Some agents and agencies DO charge a fee above the cost of your booking. There are NO ADDITIONAL COSTS to book with me as your travel planner. The travel destinations have my commission built into their consumer pricing, so you are normally paying for the services I provide without actually receiving them if you book direct.
​
DO YOU ONLY BOOK DISNEY DESTINATIONS?
Dream Trip Destinations is specialized in Disney and Universal but can book almost any destination around the world for you - Sandals, Beaches, all-inclusives, cruises. It is also possible to book just about any hotel that you want to stay at, even if it is just a quick 1 or 2-night stay.
​
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN TO THE DESTINATION I'M EXPLORING?
I stay informed on a variety of destinations through webinars, travel agent groups, forums, etc. We also network with other travel agents across the country for insider info on detinations.
​
DO YOU PROVIDE TIPS/SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR TRAVEL CLIENTS?
Yes! For travel destinations like Universal Orlando or a Disney property, you will receive access to tips/suggestions that have been compiled during personal trips to those destinations.
​
WHICH DISNEY PARK HAS THE HARRY POTTER AREA?
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is actually not at Walt Disney World - it is located at Universal Orlando. It is a completely immersive experience that crosses between the two parks of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
​
IS IT POSSIBLE TO VISIT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND WALT DISNEY WORLD IN THE SAME TRIP?
Yes - it's absolutely possible! The parks are about 20-30 minutes from each other and easy to transfer using Universal's shuttle, a rideshare, or by your own vehicle or rental car. I would recommend a minimum of 4 days at Walt Disney World and a minimum of 2 days at Universal. Three days at Universal is even better because you can dedicate one day to each of the Universal parks and have a third day to revisit favorite attractions or finish off rides that you didn't have time to complete.
​​
ARE FACEBOOK GROUPS A GOOD WAY TO GET TRAVEL INFORMATION?
You will find some good information, but you will also find a lot of inaccurate information. Rumors seem to fly faster on Facebook than a SpaceX launch out of Cape Canaveral. With me as your travel planner, I will either have the accurate info or will know where to find it.
​
CAN YOU MATCH COSTCO PRICING?
Costco pricing is often lower because of the lack of personalized service with a travel purchase. Booking with a travel planner through Dream Trip Destinations will give you access to someone for answering questions that specific to your trip and travel group dynamic. A question to ask is, "Can Costco provide the same level of personalized service as Dream Trip Destinations?" We may be able to find similar pricing to Costco, but we strongly believe they can't provide the same level of service.
​
CAN I SAVE MONEY PURCHASING MY DISNEY TICKETS THROUGH A DISCOUNT SELLER?
There are a few discount seller options available - Undercover Tourist, Get Away Today, Tickets at Work, GovX, and more. Most of the time, you can save as much money (or more) just by purchasing discounted Disney gift cards through places like Sam's Club, Target (using your RedCard), or BJ's Warehouse. Then you can purchase tickets directly through Disney (or preferably through me as your travel planner) and save the same amount of money or more. There are a few ways to save even more, but those tips are reserved for my clients after they have booked and paid their deposit.
