Hiya Barbara,
Welcome to
planDisney! My Prince Charming jokes that I start planning our next vacation when I get on the airplane from the last one. I have a blast researching resort hotels and dining locations and carefully planning my itineraries and must-dos. Planning your first trip can be so much fun, but it is always nice to have a little assistance.
As a planDisney panelist, I can provide suggestions, recommendations (like adding a
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to your itinerary), and all the tips and tricks to create a vacation of your dreams. You would just need to provide me or my fellow panelists with more details on your family, how long you plan to visit, and your must-dos for a magical vacation. I can help advise you every step of the way if you need it, starting with resort hotel recommendations! If you are looking for more than advice and want someone who can do most of the planning for you, I recommend working with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. They are able to help you find the best available deals, make reservations, and plan out your itinerary. The best part is that they offer their services free of charge!
If you want to go the Authorized Vacation Planner route, your next step is to locate one that works best for you by using your favorite search engine and typing in “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.” Make sure that whomever you select has the official Authorized Disney Vacation Planner logo (it has a Mickey hat on it) and their EAR-Marked status (diamond, platinum, gold, silver, or bronze) on their website. If you prefer to work with one of us panelists, you only need to send in another question. We would be happy to walk you through each step of your planning all the way until you are walking down Main Street, U.S.A., with your family. You’ve always got a friend in me!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
