Disney Travel Agent FAQ
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what I handle for your family.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost more to use a Disney travel agent?
No. When you book an eligible Disney vacation package through me, Disney pays my commission, so my planning is included at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay booking directly.
What do you actually do for me?
I help you pick the right resort, tickets and dates, book your package, make your dining reservations the moment they open, build a day-by-day park plan, and help with Lightning Lane strategy. I'm also here for questions before and during your trip.
When should I start planning a Walt Disney World trip?
Six to twelve months out is ideal, especially for holidays, school breaks and popular restaurants. Shorter timelines can work too. Reach out and I'll tell you what's still possible.
How much is the deposit?
Most Walt Disney World packages need a $200 deposit, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. I'll send you every important date in writing.
What information do you need to book?
Full names and dates of birth for every traveler, a mailing address, a phone number and an email address. I send a secure card authorization form and never ask for card numbers by text or email.
When do dining reservations and Lightning Lanes open?
Disney dining reservations open 60 days before your trip, and Disney resort guests can book for their whole stay. Lightning Lane selections open before arrival, earlier for Disney resort guests. I track every window and book for you.
Can you help if I already booked directly with Disney?
Often, yes. In many cases a recent booking can be moved to me so I can help with planning. Reach out with your dates and I'll check what's possible.
Do you only plan Walt Disney World?
Walt Disney World is my specialty, and I also plan Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland Resort, Aulani and Adventures by Disney trips.
Where are you located?
I'm based in Virginia and plan trips for families anywhere in the United States, by phone, text, email or video call.
