5 Reasons You Need a Travel Advisor

I get it. You're smart, you have Google, and you've booked plenty of trips yourself. So why would you need a travel advisor in 2025? Here's the honest truth about what we actually do and why it matters more than ever.

1. We Save You Hours of Research (And Prevent Expensive Mistakes)

Sure, you can spend 20 hours researching Disney restaurants, comparing hotel locations, and trying to figure out Genie+ strategy. Or you can tell me what you want and let me handle it in a fraction of the time.

I've already made the mistakes so you don't have to. I know which Disney restaurants are overhyped, which Universal hotels actually give you the perks they promise, and which Caribbean resorts have been renovated recently versus which ones are falling apart.

2. We Have Access You Don't

This isn't just about "secret deals" (though those exist). It's about relationships and insider knowledge. I know which Disney cast members can help with special requests, which Universal team members handle VIP experiences, and which resort managers can solve problems quickly.

When something goes wrong on your trip, you're calling a 1-800 number. I'm texting my contact who can actually fix things.

3. We're Your Advocate When Things Go Sideways

Flight cancelled? Hotel overbooked? Restaurant lost your reservation? When you book yourself, you're dealing with customer service reps who see you as ticket number 47,293.

When you book with me, I'm the one making calls, getting rebooking fees waived, and finding solutions. I have skin in the game because your vacation experience is my reputation.

4. We Know What Questions You Don't Know to Ask

"Do I need park hoppers?" "Is the dining plan worth it?" "Should I stay on property?" These seem like simple questions, but the answers depend on dozens of factors you might not consider.

I know to ask about mobility concerns, dietary restrictions, travel style preferences, and budget priorities that completely change my recommendations. You don't know what you don't know, and that's where experience matters.

(And the answers are maybe, usually not, and definitely)

5. We Actually Save You Money (Most of the Time)

Good travel advisors don't cost you extra. We save you money through better planning. I know when to book, what promotions are coming, and which upgrades are worth paying for versus which ones are marketing fluff.

I also prevent you from wasting money on things that don't match your travel style. That character breakfast might sound magical until you realize you hate getting up early and don't care about meeting Mickey.

Here's the Reality

Travel advisors aren't about luxury anymore - we're about expertise and efficiency. In a world where travel has gotten more complicated, not easier, having someone who knows the ins and outs can make the difference between a good trip and an amazing one.

Yes, you can plan your own vacation. But do you really want to spend your free time becoming an expert on something I already know inside and out? Let me handle the logistics so you can focus on the fun parts.
