Answers to all your burning questions about what it's like to work with me, your friendly Travel Advisor:

Does it cost extra to use a Travel Advisor?

Nope! Most of the time, my services are like having a fairy godmother: magical and complimentary! ✨ I earn commissions from suppliers, so you get expert planning at no extra cost. (Some specialty services may have fees, but I’ll always be transparent about that!)

What if something goes wrong during my trip?

Don’t panic! Just call/text me, and I’ll play fix-it fairy while you keep enjoying your trip.

Can I still help plan the trip?

Absolutely! Think of me as your co-pilot. You steer the ship, and I’ll make sure you avoid turbulence. Want to pick the resort? Choose the cruise excursions? Plan your park days? Let’s collaborate to make it your dream vacation!

Do you only book Disney/Universal/Cruises/All-Inclusives?

While those are my specialties (and where I sprinkle the most pixie dust), I can help with other trips too. Just ask! I love a good travel challenge.

Why should I use you instead of booking online myself?

Great question! Booking online is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions: doable, but stressful. I handle the nuts and bolts (and hidden fees, and last-minute changes) while you focus on the fun stuff!

Plus - you're supporting my small business. Win-win!

How far in advance should I book?

The early bird gets the worm (or the stateroom, or the suite upgrade!). For cruises and Disney, 6-12 months is ideal. Last-minute trips? I’ve got tricks for those too!

What's your favorite type of trip to book?

Asking me to pick is like asking me to pick a favorite kid—impossible! But if I had to choose…it would be cruises. There's something relaxing about unpacking once and arriving at a different destination each day.

What’s yours? Let’s make it happen!

Can you help with group/family trips?

Absolutely! I’ll handle the herding cats (er, coordinating people) so you can actually enjoy your family reunion/bachelorette trip/school vacation.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I work with suppliers that let you pay over time, and the earlier you book, the cheaper it generally is. Let’s chat about flexible options!

How do I know you're the right advisor for me?

I’m not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ planner, so let’s hop on a quick call to see if we’re a good match. No pressure to book with me!

What's included in your service?

Everything* but packing your suitcase! (Though I can send you a checklist.) From booking to troubleshooting to finding hidden gems, I’ve got you covered. (*The one travel component I can't book is your flight.)

What if I need to cancel my trip?

I’ll help you navigate the fine print (and refunds) like a paperwork wizard. Travel insurance? Highly recommended! Let’s chat about protecting your investment!

Do you book flights?

No, and here's why: if your flight is delayed or canceled and you need to make a change, the airline will not work with you because they'll want to speak with the person who booked it. It's a headache for both of us and just not worth it.

I am happy to chat through options and give advice on what I would do, though!

Are you actually a Disney/Universal expert or just a fan?

Both! I’ve got the certifications, the experience, and the strong opinions about the best snacks.

What's your best piece of travel advice?

Voice expectations up front, wear comfy shoes, and know that something will always go wrong. Focus on what's going right and making wonderful memories with those you love.

What's the biggest mistake people make when planning a trip?

Underestimating the power of details! Dining reservations sell out, transfers get missed, and sunscreen is always forgotten. Luckily, I’ve got checklists (and reminders) for all of it.
