Vacation planning: The Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Absolutely Not Use A Travel Advisor

Are you contemplating using a Travel Advisor for your next best vacation? HERE ARE OUR TOP 5 REASONS WHY YOU WOULD NOT want to use a travel advisor when planning your next trip full of memories!

Are you tired of having seamless, stress-free vacations? Are you fed up with having every detail of your trip meticulously planned out for you? Well, look no further! Here are five compelling reasons why you should definitely not use a travel advisor for your next vacation...or so you might think.

1. You Enjoy Spending Hours Researching: Who needs the convenience of having someone else do all the legwork when you can spend endless hours scouring the internet for the best deals and hidden gems? Forget about saving time and energy; diving headfirst into the vast abyss of the internet for travel tips is clearly the superior option. Plus, who doesn't love the thrill of uncertainty when booking accommodations sight unseen? Or, would it be fun to just focus on the little things like packing your luggage and leave the big stuff to us?

In Florida alone, Disney World has four theme parks, two water parks, a shopping and entertainment district, about two dozen resort hotels, a sports complex, golf and mini golf courses, fishing, boat rentals, parasailing, camping, adult/executive education, convention centers, youth education programs, and so much more — not to mention a standalone beach resort on the Florida coast and two thriving cruise ports with ships sailing to distant ports of call. You can navigate that without any tips or tricks, right?

When you utilize our free planning services at Fantastical Vacations by Jen & Verlin, we'll take care of all of the BIG stuff, so you can enjoy the sweet moments of vacationing.

2. You Like Playing Russian Roulette with Your Itinerary: Why settle for a well-planned itinerary when you can leave everything up to chance? Accommodations, activities, dining plans, and missing newly advertised discounts after you've booked your trip is the epitome of excitement, right? Or, you could forget about the peace of mind that comes with having a solid plan in place; spontaneity is the spice of life, after all. *wink *

3. You Enjoy Stressful Surprises: Who needs the assurance of knowing that everything is taken care of before you even step foot out the door? Embrace the thrill of unexpected mishaps and last-minute changes or missing your dining reservation window by eschewing the expertise of a travel advisor. From ride or cruise cancellations to overbooked hotels, why not add a bit of chaos to your vacation for good measure?

Travel advisors do things like book the dining plans right at 6am when the window opens and wait on hold with Disney, Universal, or Cruise Lines for hours to change a reservation so you don't have to. They'll save you time so you can focus on the more important things in life.  Check out our FREE "Stress Less at Disney!" Guide to help you be more intentional with your time, present with your family, and fully embrace the magic!

4. You Love Overpaying: Why save money when you can throw it out the window instead? By forgoing the guidance of a travel advisor, you'll have the pleasure of paying top dollar for accommodations, activities, and transportation. Who needs discounts and insider deals when you can bask in the glory of overspending?

Travel advisors continue to watch for the discounts after you book your trip...discounts that you otherwise might miss or not even know about. Theme parks or cruise lines are always breaking out a new discount, and we’re standing by to save you money! Imagine getting a phone call with news that your vacation suddenly costs hundreds of dollars less than you expected! AND of course you wouldn't want money back in your pocket with an on-board $$$ credit that you automatically receive if you book a Disney Cruise with Fantastical Vacations by Jen & Verlin, right?

5. You Crave Disappointment: Why aim for satisfaction when you can settle for disappointment instead? By taking matters into your own hands and bypassing the assistance of a travel advisor, you're practically guaranteeing yourself a subpar vacation experience. Who needs personalized recommendations and insider tips when you can wander aimlessly and hope for the best? Plus, why would you want a FREE service from someone who LOVES booking vacations to serve others in the first place? Let's face it, there aren't many things in life that are free. And, if places like Disney or Universal are paying YOUR travel agent whom you can contact for questions and answers.... I mean, why would you want that kind of service, right?

So, there you have it: Five rock-solid reasons why you should absolutely not use a travel advisor for your next vacation. But before you click away in search of more chaos and uncertainty, consider this: maybe, just maybe, the real reason you should use a travel advisor is because you deserve a vacation that's truly unforgettable with memories to last a lifetime—for all the right reasons.
