FAQs
What is the fee for your planning services?
My services are still complimentary for most vacation packages. However, if you have already booked your trip or are planning an offsite Walt Disney World vacation, I do offer my planning services for a fee based on your specific needs. When you contact me, we’ll discuss how I can help, and I’ll give you a planning fee quote before we move forward. Pricing starts at $150/trip.
You can’t work for free; how do you get paid? Is there a catch?
There’s no catch! Suppliers (like Disney, Universal, Sandals, etc.) pay travel advisors a commission while your vacation cost stays the same, whether you book directly through them or you book through a travel advisor. I am only paid for trips that I book and only after the vacation is complete, so please keep that in mind if you request quotes and then take my recommendations to book on your own.
How do I make payments on my vacation package?
Paying for your vacation can be extremely flexible! After you make your initial deposit, you can apply incremental payments at any time until the balance is due simply by filling out the Dream Big Destinations payment form, and I will apply it directly to your reservation.
How do I contact you?
If you have a quick question that can be answered in a sentence or two, feel free to text or call me during working hours. If it is after hours or you have a more detailed question or need me to make a change or add something to your vacation, please send me an email so your request doesn’t get buried in my personal message inbox.
What are your work hours?
While I try to be flexible and work as needed, I also have to set some boundaries for the sake of my family time. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 until 2:30, and I set aside an hour on weeknights to catch up on emails I may have missed in the afternoon or evening. My weekend hours vary based on my family’s schedule. However, when you are traveling, I am available at any time (within reason).
Why should I book my vacation through you?
Not only am I your single point of contact for your vacation (instead of talking to a different agent every time you have a question), I make vacation planning fun again! The sheer amount of information available on the Internet can be overwhelming; I listen to your vacation needs and goals and help you narrow down the options to what would be a great fit for your family. If you’re a seasoned traveler, I’m a great sounding board for any ideas that pop up, and it’s always a bonus to have an extra set of eyes on your reservation. I have the personal experience and knowledge to ensure that your vacation is everything you want it to be!
