Be Our Guest: Yes, Virginia, There is a Way to Save on Disney Theme Park Tickets

Ed.: I am thrilled to welcome a very special guest today, Lisa Battista, author of Beyond the Attractions: A Guide to Walt Disney World with Preschoolers. An expert in planning Disney vacations with little ones…and a budget…in mind, Lisa is here to offer some thoughts on saving money on tickets. Thanks so much Lisa for visiting! 🙂

Previously, my family’s Disney ticket strategy was to schedule at least two vacations a year using Annual Passes. Some years this meant a fall and spring trip while other years found us arriving 358 days after our previous vacation to complete our travel within one calendar year. Our really fortunate years combined both vacation scenarios. Throw in a long research weekend for Beyond the Attractions: A Guide to Walt Disney world with Preschoolers and my husband and I make good use of our annual passes. Read more

What Does a Disney World Travel Agent DO?

One of the most common questions that I get from people is “how can using a Disney travel agent help me?” And I think it’s a fair question, especially from the many folks who have never used a travel agent before. The thing is, there are lots of things I am able to do as a Disney vacation specialist, to help folks with their Disney vacations, whether you are a Disney veteran, or this is your very first trip. With this in mind, since this question is asked so frequently, I thought I would take today’s blog post to re-run an article that I wrote last year.  🙂

Free Planning Help

Probably the biggest myth out there, is that using a travel agent will cost the client more….and frankly, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the services of a Disney World travel agent are free to the vacationer, as travel agents are paid by the company that they book with. So when using a travel agent, the client gets tons of help, Disney expertise and planning knowledge….for free. It’s a win-win situation for the Disney vacationer! Read more
