Curious about what people say about us & our services?
Ronna is amazing! Our recent trip to Disney was fantastic primarily because of her. She has many inside scoops, secrets and suggestions She was able to get us into every restaurant that we want to get into despite booking a little late and a busy travel time. She is right "on the ball" with everything Disney. I highly recommend her and cannot imagine planning a Disney vacation without her.
Therese H. 
Thank you so much for planning our vacation. Your vast knowledge of the parks, resorts and dining venues made our vacation really special. As you know, we started planning our vacation rather late in Disney terms, and without your help we would not have experienced most of our favorite dining spots. Your help in picking the resort was also invaluable. Thanks to you, it was a truly magical experience the whole family will remember forever.
Dan G.
We had a great trip and everything went so smoothly. You planned our dinner reservations perfectly so our schedule was just the way we wanted it to be. Thanks again for helping us plan the perfect trip. You are really good at what you do!
Anami K.
Ronna was absolutely wonderful to work with. She knows all the ins and outs of Disney, and was extremely helpful to our family as it was our first time going there! She was so prompt, grabbing us reservations as soon as they became available and hitting every deadline leading up to our trip. She is an excellent communicator, and we are really so grateful for her help on our vacation.
Stacey L
Ronna was incredible to work with. She is very knowledgeable on all things, Disney and Universal, always answers emails in a timely matter, and planned the most amazing trip for our family. We have used Ronna services in the past, and we were equally as happy this time around as well.
Lauren S.
Ronna is a wealth of knowledge of many different types of vacations. She helped us make the decision to try an all inclusive resort instead of our usual theme park vacation, and it was the perfect solution for our family. She puts up with my constant changing of plans and never complains, and she answers the phone right away when we have had issues during our trip. She takes all of the stress out of travel.
Randa C.
Ronna has helped us book multiple trips. The most recent one involved multiple reservations including the Galactic Starcruiser. She was extremely helpful in organizing our complex itinerary and helping us deal with situations that came up during our stay. She is always available to help in anyway she can. A delight to work with.
Mary R.
Ronna is a Disney rockstar! She is so knowledgeable about the whole trip planning process from initial resort booking to dining reservations to tips and tricks when in the parks. We have used her for many trips to Disney over the years and it saves me so much time and stress! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone planning a trip to WDW or Disneyland or a cruise.
David A.
Ronna is amazing! She comes through with requests I think are impossible. She is highly knowledgeable and patient when I ask the same questions over! She takes care of everything so I don't have to. She makes planning totally enjoyable.
Joan N.
When we were planning a trip to Disney, we had no clue what we were doing. Ronna worked within out budget to give us the perfect trip. She was up at the crack of dawn to arrange our fast passes, and character meals. We didn't have to do a thing but enjoy the trip. She was amazing. She also helped us book a trip to Honduras on very little notice, and was was patient with all our requests and priorities. She found the perfect resort. It was exactly what we asked for.
Cathy K.
Ronna is very thorough when planning our vacations!! Changes we make or saving money are never a problem for her. She is a very good travel advisor!
Brenda O.
Ronna is an incredible agent and willing to go above and beyond to make your trip enjoyable.
Carol H.
Ronna was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and essential to planning our trip. We traveled with a large group and her helpful tips helped to ease the stress of planning. She booked the rooms, secured our tickets, sent reminders for payments, and set up everything in our Disney app. The pre-trip newsletter was immensely helpful with packing lists, information about virtual queue lines, Genie+ lightning lanes, transportation suggestions and events we might be interested in during our stay. We are forever grateful we found Ronna - our trip would not have been the same without her and I can't recommend her enough.
Katrina H.
Ronna was instrumental in booking our trip. She even pointed out our connecting flight which, which we initially wanted, only had a 20 minute layover. . When we arrived at ORD, we checked that initial flight was delayed 4 hours. She was awesome took care of everything.
Doris E.
Cannot recommend Ronna highly enough. We had a family of 12 ranging in ages from 3-68. She listened to all our individual needs and wants and made recommendations to accommodate us. She kept us on task with important deadlines, made our reservations for experiences and dining reservations and printed out a thorough itinerary for each day. She gave us hints on tips for everything. You can never do it all at Disney but thanks to Ronna we covered all our highlights. We also had 1 handicapped family member and she reserved a scooter for us delivered to the resort. Plus, she made our transportation reservation from the airport to the resort. Honestly, we couldn’t have done it without her! We have so many amazing memories!
Diane S.
Ronna is very knowledgeable of the resorts we were looking into. She was in contact with us every step of the way. Even when we were at the resort she stayed in contact with us. Very professional. We will definitely use her services on the next trip.
Mike G.

Our trip went through without any hiccups. The app really makes everything easy.Really minimizes the stress of traveling. I look forward to working with you again. Thank you for all your help.

What makes our Disney Cruise Planning Different
CABIN SELECTION STRATEGY
Your stateroom category determines everything; view, location, accessibility, and value. We analyze deck plans, understand which cabins offer best positioning for families with kids, and identify overlooked categories that deliver premium experiences at mid-range prices. Most travelers book standard inside cabins without realizing how cabin placement impacts their entire cruise.
PORT DAY OPTIMIZATION
Port stops aren't just about excursions. We strategize which ports deserve a full day experience, which warrant a quick adventure, and which allow ship exploration time. We guide families through shore excursion selection, provide port timing insights that beat crowds, and recommend experiences that align with your family's interests; not just typical tourist routes
DINING & ONBOARD STRATEGY
Dining packages, specialty restaurants, and beverage plans confuse most cruisers. We break down the math; which packages deliver true savings, when à la carte makes sense, and how to structure reservations so your family experiences dining variety without logistics headaches. We also reveal onboard timing strategies that eliminate long waits and maximize entertainment options.
Personalized Services
Your Disney Cruise Doesn't Look Like Anyone Else's: Your Planning Shouldn't Either
Families often assume there’s one ‘right way’ to cruise; follow the guidebooks, book standard cabins, hit the main shows. We reject that formula. A family with toddlers needs different strategies than multigenerational travelers or couples celebrating anniversaries. Your budget influences choices differently than others. Your dietary restrictions create unique dining needs. Your comfort level with port exploration matters.
This is why we never use templates. Every Disney Cruise consultation starts fresh; we ask questions, listen carefully, and build an itinerary that reflects your family’s actual priorities, not generic cruise conventions. Whether you’re looking for maximum entertainment, relaxation-focused sailing, adventure-heavy port days, or a blend of everything, we design the cruise experience your family truly wants.
The result? Families feel confident their cruise aligns with their vision. They board excited, not anxious. They enjoy their vacation rather than worrying if they ‘did it right.’ That’s the difference expert Disney Cruise planning makes.

From pre-cruise planning to port day strategies, we handle the complete Disney Cruise Line experience.
Our Disney cruise planning expertise covers every aspect of your sailing. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or Disney veteran, we bring knowledge that transforms how you experience Disney Cruise Line.

Common Questions About Our Disney cruise travel agent Services
We possess detailed knowledge of Disney Cruise Line stateroom layouts, port strategies, onboard dining, timing, and insider tips that transform a good cruise into an exceptional one. We work to ensure you secure the best value, avoid common mistakes, and feel confident about every decision before you sail. Disney doesn’t provide this personalized guidance—we do
Absolutely. Many families book independently, then realize they need Disney cruise planning expertise for dining reservations, port strategies, or onboard experience optimization. We can step in at any point and enhance your upcoming voyage.
While Disney Cruise planning is our specialty and deepest expertise, we also plan other cruise lines and vacation destinations. Our primary focus ensures we bring world-class knowledge to every Disney Cruise Line booking.
Disney Cruise Line evolves constantly—new ships, itineraries, pricing, and policies change regularly. We invest time staying updated through direct Disney relationships, industry networks, and personal cruise experiences. Your Disney cruise planning benefits from knowledge that’s current and accurate.
While you can book a Disney Cruise directly through Disney’s website or phone line, using a Disney cruise travel agent offers significant advantages at no extra cost to you. Disney pays agents a commission, so you don’t pay additional fees for booking through an agent versus booking independently.
The main benefit is expert guidance. A specialized Disney cruise travel agent provides personalized recommendations on stateroom selection, cabin positioning, itinerary choices, dining packages, and port strategies based on your family’s preferences and budget. They monitor price changes after you book and alert you to better deals or promotions. If issues arise during your cruise or planning process, you have a dedicated advocate who can resolve problems quickly; unlike booking directly where you navigate Disney’s automated systems yourself.
For first-time cruisers or families planning complex multi-cabin bookings, working with a Disney cruise travel agent removes stress and saves considerable time. Many agents also offer exclusive perks like onboard credit or gift baskets not available to direct bookers.
Using a Disney cruise travel agent costs you absolutely nothing extra. This is one of the most common misconceptions about travel agents. Disney Cruise Line pays agents a commission (typically between 10% and 16% depending on the agency’s booking volume) directly from their revenue. This commission does not come from your vacation budget; the price you pay for your cruise remains identical whether you book through a travel agent or directly with Disney.
In fact, many families save money by working with a Disney cruise travel agent because they negotiate better pricing, monitor reservations for price drops, and offer incentives like onboard credit ($50-$200+) that reduce your actual out-of-pocket costs. Some agents charge optional planning fees for additional concierge services (like booking specialty dining or arranging port excursions), but standard vacation planning services through qualified agents are completely free.
The commission structure works because Disney recognizes that travel agents drive significant booking volume for the cruise line. From your perspective, you receive expert planning services (normally valued at hundreds of dollars) with zero cost to you.
A quality Disney cruise travel agent demonstrates several key characteristics that set them apart from general travel bookers:
- Specialization: They focus primarily on Disney cruises (not just occasional cruise bookings). This means they’ve sailed on Disney ships multiple times, understand deck plans intimately, and stay current with Disney Cruise Line updates and new itineraries.
- Training & Credentials: Look for agents who’ve completed Disney’s “College of Disney Knowledge” program—a comprehensive training initiative requiring agents to pass knowledge tests on Disney products. Ideally, seek “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner” designation, which means Disney officially recognizes their expertise.
- Accessibility: Top agents respond promptly to emails, texts, calls, and messages. They build relationships and remember details about your family from cruise to cruise—not treating you as a transaction.
- Proactive Service: Expert agents monitor your reservation after booking, notify you of price adjustments or new promotions, handle changes without hassle, and provide insider tips about ports, dining packages, and onboard experiences.
- Onboard Credits & Incentives: Many established Disney cruise travel agents offer perks like onboard credits, gift baskets, or special guides—adding real value beyond standard booking.
- Knowledge Depth: They answer detailed questions about stateroom categories, cabin positioning, dining timing strategies, port-specific advice, and family-specific planning that generic travel sites cannot provide.
Yes, absolutely. Many families book independently, then realize they need expert help with their upcoming voyage and contact a Disney cruise travel agent for assistance.
If you’ve already booked directly with Disney, a travel agent can still help optimize your experience. They can advise on dining package selections, assist with specialty restaurant reservations, recommend port activities based on your interests, provide insider tips about your specific ship and itinerary, and help troubleshoot any booking questions or changes you need.
However, there’s a limitation: once Disney has your reservation in their system, most changes and communications must flow through your original booking method. If you booked directly, Disney won’t transfer your reservation to a travel agent mid-planning. Some agents can work around this by placing a new “placeholder” reservation that you can potentially transfer your original booking into within 30 days, depending on Disney’s current policies.
The best scenario is booking with an agent from the start. But if you already have a confirmed reservation, a Disney cruise travel agent can still provide valuable planning support, guidance, and tips to enhance your upcoming cruise—even if they can’t modify the core booking.
Onboard credit (OBC) is complimentary money you can spend on your Disney Cruise for dining, beverages, excursions, spa services, and other onboard purchases. When travel agents book Disney cruises, many receive commissions from Disney that they can partially redirect to clients as onboard credit—effectively giving you free vacation money.
The amount of onboard credit varies significantly based on several factors:
Agent volume: High-volume Disney cruise travel agents (who book many cruises annually) receive higher commission rates from Disney, allowing them to offer more generous OBC to clients. Established, elite-tier agencies often provide $50-$200+ in OBC per booking.
Agency policy: Not all agents offer OBC. Some redirect all commission to their own business expenses. Reputable, client-focused agencies build OBC offerings into their value proposition.
Booking type: New cruise bookings typically receive more OBC than transferring an existing reservation. Placeholder bookings (temporary reservations you later convert) usually offer reduced OBC.
Incentive offers: Disney periodically runs special promotions where high-performing agencies receive temporary increases in commission rates, allowing them to boost OBC offerings during those periods.
Major travel agencies specializing in Disney cruises advertise their OBC amounts upfront—for example, “Receive $150 onboard credit with your booking.” This transparency helps you compare agencies and maximize the value of choosing a Disney cruise travel agent.

Finding a qualified Disney cruise travel agent requires looking beyond generic travel websites. Here’s where to find legitimate specialists:

Credentials to verify:

- Years of experience specifically with Disney cruises (not just general travel)

- Personal recommendations from friends or family who’ve used them
Red flags to avoid:
- Agents who aren’t responsive to emails or calls
- Those with no Disney cruise specialization
- Agencies charging excessive planning fees without transparency
- Agents with poor reviews on multiple platforms
