Insider Information:

Oh, and here’s a little insider info – Disney doesn’t exactly have a squad of special “Disney Travel Agents” in their ranks. Nope, what you have are individual Travel Agents who are absolute maestros when it comes to all things Disney destinations. It’s like having a backstage pass to the magic kingdom of vacation planning. But here’s the catch – Disney isn’t all that jazzed about the term “Disney Travel Agents.” 

The Disney company prefers the subtler vibe of “Travel Agent Specializing in Disney” or “Disney Specialist.” It’s like Disney’s secret code for those agents who have aced the Disney knowledge game.

Disney awards full agencies with a high sales volume and the designation of “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.”  However, this title applies to the agency as a whole and not individual agents. So, while there might not be a cape-wearing hero labeled “Disney Travel Agent” within the Disney castle, rest assured, these specialized wizards of vacation planning are out there, ready to sprinkle a bit of that Disney magic on your next adventure.

A Magical Vacation

Allison, with Practically Perfect Travel, made our trip to Disneyland incredible! We had so much fun, and it was truly a magical experience from start to finish. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about following a strict schedule, but it turned out to be the best decision we made. The itinerary provided by Allison was a lifesaver. We were able to make the most of our time and experience all the amazing rides and attractions without feeling overwhelmed.

One word to describe working with Practically Perfect Travel would be “fabulous.” Allison had everything planned out for us, and we just had to follow along. We stuck to the schedule the first two days and had a blast. On the last day, we decided to switch things up and deviate from the schedule to revisit our favorite ride. Trying to navigate Lightning Lane and plan our next moves was a bit stressful, but Allison had prepared us well, and we managed to make the most of it.

The most helpful information we received was the reminder that “this is not Bible.” Allison encouraged us to let the Disney magic take over and go with the flow. It was liberating to embrace unexpected moments like stumbling upon the Dapper Dans or discovering hidden gems like the Tiki Room. She also advised us not to blindly follow the crowd and stand in long lines just because everyone else was doing it. This simple advice saved us so much time and allowed us to enjoy more of the park.

The meticulously planned itinerary was the best part of working with Practically Perfect Travel. It provided a clear roadmap for our days at Disneyland. Even though we deviated slightly from it at times, we always knew what our next move should be. It made decision-making so much easier, especially with the overwhelming number of restaurants, rides, and attractions available. The maps provided were also incredibly useful, and I constantly referred to them. A physical plan and paper maps made navigation a breeze, and I didn’t have to rely solely on my phone.

Despite missing out on some attractions due to unforeseen circumstances like ride breakdowns, our trip was still absolutely perfect. Allison helped us navigate the park like pros, making our Disneyland experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with her and create more magical memories. Thank you, Practically Perfect Travel, for making our dream vacation come true!
