Let us plan the summer vacation of a lifetime for your family today!

Help me plan my Disney vacation!

You’ve decided that the Walt Disney World® Resort is where you’re going for your next vacation.  First let me say that’s a great choice!  You do a little research to pick your hotel and look at ticket pricing.  Quickly you become overwhelmed with the myriad of options that you have to choose from.  Value or Deluxe?  One park per day or hopping?  Dining plan or pay out of pocket?  Summer or fall?  YIKES!

Let me help.  I will listen to what you want out of your upcoming vacation.  I’ll work with you to find out your family’s likes and dislikes.  Then I’ll guide you toward the best choices for each piece of your vacation.  Sometimes a dining plan is best but sometimes it isn’t.  Maybe you have the misconception that Epcot® is only for adults.  Do you need help understanding how to travel to the Theme Parks from your hotel?  What restaurants are a must?  Do you need dining reservations?  Maybe you’ve got a special tour in mind.  Visiting for a honeymoon, birthday or anniversary?  Let me make it extra special!

I want to help you have the magical vacation that you deserve and are paying for.  I don’t charge any extra fees for my service and I won’t push you toward anything that you don’t need.  What do you have to lose?  I love all things Disney and want to share the happiness that I feel when vacationing there with others.  Please don’t be the person arriving at the restaurant with no reservations, upset that you can’t get in to dine there anytime during your vacation.  Don’t be the one complaining during your trip because you didn’t know about this or that.  I can help you get the most out of your experience and have the ‘never want to leave’ feeling when it is time to go back home.

Visit my ‘contact us’ page or just send me an email to amber@gotothemouse.com.  No need to be overly formal.  You’ll be working with a live person who loves helping others plan trips to the most magical place on Earth.
