Here's How Working With Me Actually Works

Same package price as booking direct. Personal planning support before and after booking. No separate planning fee. Here is what that actually looks like.

✦ No Extra Cost ✦

Same Package Price. No Separate Planning Fee.

Certified travel planners are compensated by the cruise line or resort — not by adding a fee on top of your booking. When you book your Disney Cruise through me, you pay the exact same package price you would pay booking directly through Disney.

My planning help is included in that. You are not paying for my time separately. That means you can get answers to your questions, have someone track your booking windows, and have a person to call when something comes up — all without it costing you anything extra.

✦ Step One ✦

Before You Book

This is where I help most. There are a lot of decisions that are much easier to sort out before anything is locked in.

1

Tell Me About Your Family

I start by learning about your group — how many people, kids' ages, what you are looking for, and what your rough budget and timeline look like. This shapes everything else.

2

I Help You Compare Options

Ships, sailing lengths, itineraries, stateroom categories, home ports — I walk you through the decisions that matter for your family and help you get to a clear recommendation without drowning you in options.

3

I'll Tell You If It's Not the Right Fit

If a Disney Cruise does not make sense for your family this year — because of budget, ages, timing, or what you are looking for — I will say so. I would rather help you find the right trip than push one that does not fit.

4

We Book When You Are Ready

No pressure on timing. When you feel good about the choice, we lock it in. I can also advise on whether waiting or booking now makes more sense for the specific sailing you are looking at.

✦ After You Book ✦

I Stay With You Through the Whole Process

Booking the trip is not the end of my involvement. For many families, the most confusing part happens after booking — activity windows, dining reservations, check-in, and what to actually do before you get on the ship.

📅

Booking Windows & Reminders

Disney Cruise has specific dates when activities, shore excursions, and dining open up for reservation. I keep track of these and give you a heads-up so you do not miss a window that matters.

🍽️

Dining & Activity Planning

I help you decide what is worth booking in advance, what is fine to leave open, and how to pace things so the trip does not feel over-scheduled.

📋

Online Check-In & Port Prep

I walk you through the online check-in process, arrival time selection, what documents to bring, and what to expect at the port — so there are no surprises on embarkation day.

💳

Payment Dates

Disney Cruise has specific deposit and final payment dates. I make sure you know what is due and when so nothing catches you off guard.

✦ How I Work ✦

As Involved — or Hands-Off — As You Want

One of the great things about working with a travel advisor is that I can be as involved — or as hands-off — as you'd like. Some clients prefer me to handle every detail, while others like to manage most things themselves and simply have me available as a resource when needed. Every family is different. Some want to hand off every detail. Others just want a few specific questions answered and to handle the rest themselves. I follow your lead.

📱

Phone, Text & Email Support

I am reachable by phone, text, and email. You do not need to submit a support ticket or wait for a callback queue. If something comes up, you can reach me directly.

🙋

Not a Call Center

When you contact me, you are talking to me — Angel. I will know your trip, your family, and your booking. I am not reading from a script or handing you to a different agent.

🗺️

Virtual Planning, Anywhere

I am based on the East Coast and work virtually with families all over. You do not need to be local. We can connect by phone, email, or video — whatever works for you.

⚖️

Your Level of Involvement

Want me to manage everything and just check in at key moments? I can do that. Want to stay involved in every decision and use me as a sounding board? That works too.
