    Can we use a Disney planner if we prefer not to stay on site?

    Hi there, Pat. Welcome to planDisney!

    Thanks for taking the time to stop by with a great question for us. It looks like you’re planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. As we inch closer towards the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to plan a February 2026 visit!

    Besides Disneyland Resort hotels, there are many alternative lodgings in the surrounding Anaheim area. There are great Disney-approved quality Good Neighbor hotels nearby, many within walking distance. Although it’s not essential, it’s often a good idea to utilize a travel agent to help you plan and coordinate your upcoming trip. A travel agent can save you time, reduce stress, and they can provide you their expertise and ongoing support. When selecting someone, be sure they are with an agency that’s an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. This is a special designation awarded by Disney to travel agents who have completed extensive training and demonstrated knowledge in planning Disney vacations. 

    My friends and I at planDisney enjoy planning vacations for our families and friends, and we love helping Guests like you. Although we’re not travel agents, we’d be more than happy to provide you our recommendations from first-hand experience. As you continue to plan your upcoming trip, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again if you have more questions.

    Sending you pixie dust,
    Kiki

Meet the Panelist: Kiki, California

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
