Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I book with you instead of a direct online booking site?
Booking with me means you have a dedicated travel expert by your side every step of the way. Before, during and after. Such as personalized services, honest advice, and peace of mind as I am a phone call away!
How do agents get paid and will it cost me extra?
How long do I have to book and pay after receiving a quote?
This varies by the type of quote/trip you’re looking at.
For Disney Parks, I can place your booking on a ‘hold’ for 3 days. This saves it to go back to later once you’ve reviewed it and protects it from being grabbed up and sold out. Once you’re ready to book, you will owe a deposit that again varies by the trip type. Packages (room + tickets) all have a $200 deposit. Room only bookings will typically be the first night rate plus tax. Tickets only are due in full at time of booking. For those bookings with a deposit, the full balance is due roughly 30 days out from the start of your trip.
Other destinations like Universal, cruise lines (Disney and others), and everything in between all have their own deposit and payment rules. This is also true for ‘hold’ rules – though most destinations have a similar 3-day hold policy to Disney. I’ll review all of that with you with specific dates for your custom trip.
How are payments handled if you’re booking for me?
Once you receive your quote and ready to book it, I will send you a credit card authorization form (one-page) to input your card details, billing address, etc. and this authorizes me to make the purchase on your behalf.
For bookings with multiple payments (i.e. a deposit and final balance), you will need to do a new credit card authorization form for each transaction. This is to protect you so you always know what’s coming out of your account and when.
Many destinations have payment plans available and we can always make smaller payments ahead of your final balance due date if you prefer. We can work out a timeline one on one if that’s helpful for you even if the destination doesn’t have their own payment plan system (i.e. Disney Parks).
I like making my own travel plans – can I still do that if you book for me?
Of course! I can be as involved as you want me to be, and I can let you take the reins if you prefer.
There are as many different types of travel clients as there are trips and destinations ( Endless). Again, I am here a much or as little. Reach out and let’s chat!
What happens if I need to cancel or modify my trip after booking?
The specific answer will depend on your type of trip and how far along you are in the process, and how that connects with the destination’s cancellation, modification, and refunds policy (which you are expected to be aware of and agree to follow when requesting a quote).
So, the short answer is: reach out to me and we’ll talk through what’s going on and figure out what your options are. Life happens, and so even though I’m not paid for cancelled bookings, I’m more than happy to help you figure it out.
