In our self-service world, planning a vacation seems like it should be easy to DIY... but with the sheer number of options - from theme parks and guided tours to cruises and all-inclusives - not to mention ever changing travel guidelines, researching it all and picking the right destination for your family can end up being quite confusing and stressful. If your future plans include a vacation (especially to Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort) you should work with me - your friendly, neighborhood travel agent!
But Nicole - why do I need a travel agent? Let's find out why!
1. Travel Agents can save you TIME
I can take guesswork out deciding where to go on vacation, and spare you hours of researching, comparing, and evaluating your options. Once you fill out a quote form and I know where you want to go or what kind of trip you're looking for, I'll do all the research to bring your vacation vision to life!
Using my knowledge of destinations, transportation options, and ever changing travel guidelines, I will put together a short list of options for you to look at in detail. Instead of glancing at a gazillion Google links about this theme park or that cruise line, you'll be able to dive into all the details on two or three options that I'm confident will meet your needs. Once you've made a final decision I'll book your trip for you too.
I can also handle changes and anything else that may pop up before or during your trip. If you've ever had to add or change a part of your trip, especially during your vacation, you know the pain of watching the minutes turn into hours while you wait on hold for help. I'm here to do all that work so you don't have to waste precious vacation time. All you'll have to focus on is having fun and making memories!
2. Travel Agents can save you MONEY
Even the savviest of travelers may only be aware of vendors with the most prolific marketing campaigns, and you may not be aware of your other options for more affordable destinations... but I am! Not only can I help you find the vacation package that meets your needs, I can be on the lookout for hidden savings.
Some destinations release deals throughout the year - often after your vacation package has already been booked. I can help you apply these deals to new or existing plans, saving you time and money.
3. Travel Agents can offer EXPERT recommendations and insights
I will make personalized recommendations and offer tips and tricks to help you make the most of your vacation! I can suggest things to see and do, the best time to travel to specific destinations, when and where to go to avoid crowds, which restaurants are worth your time, what experiences you shouldn't miss, and so much more!
I've been there, done that (especially at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort) and can share first-hand knowledge and experiences to make your trip even more memorable. This also means that I can answer specific questions about any part of your vacation - like how to see and do as much as possible if you're short on time!
4. Travel Agents can handle it ALL
A lot can happen on vacation, from weather delays or natural disasters and itinerary changes or lost luggage... and while your fellow passengers will be frantically fending for themselves to get help, I'll act as your advocate in the event something goes awry! I can talk with the transportation company or your resort on your behalf to make sure you are taken care of in the best way possible.
My goal is to keep your vacation on the right track; I can problem solve and make any changes while you focus on staying safe and calm. I can help make the best of a bad situation!
I can also help you navigate the ever changing travel guidelines we face as a result of the pandemic. Each destination has different guidelines, and I can make sure you feel prepared and that you know what to expect before and during your vacation. I can even help you rebook your vacation should you be unable to travel when you planned to.
5. Travel Agents like me come at NO ADDITIONAL COST to you
There's no need to do it all yourself when I can do it at NO ADDITIONAL COST! The only thing better than that is the vacation itself!
So... let's plan some MAGIC!
