Why You Need An Expert Travel Advisor…

Picture this…you told your neighbor that you’re thinking of planning a vacation to the Caribbean and they tell you all about their best friend’s sister’s cousin who went to the most amazing resort in Cancun. You don’t have the time or energy to spend hours upon hours researching and you figure if they loved it you will too. So you book the resort recommended to you only to show up and realize it wasn’t what you dreamed of at all. The kids club won’t watch your 3-year-old because the minimum age requirement is 4, you can only eat at one a la carte restaurant during your stay (yes that is a thing at some resorts) and the beach is not swimmable. 

Or maybe you made the decision to take your kids to Walt Disney World Resort and didn’t know park pass reservations were required to enter the parks but by the time you find out all reservations for Hollywood Studios are booked up and all your kid wanted was to ride the Millennium Falcon. Or you get to Disney World and were so excited to eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table so you head to EPCOT in the morning and then arrive to the gates of Magic Kingdom for your reservation only to be told you can’t enter because you don’t have park hopper tickets. Or maybe you promised your kids a visit to see Harry Potter only to show up to Hollywood Studios and be told Harry Potter is at Universal which is a completely different park from Disney. I can assure you these are all real stories but I can also assure you this won’t happen to you when working with me! 

You would be surprised how many times I hear the same travel mishap stories and while crowdsourcing isn’t always awful you also aren’t getting expert advice custom to your family! So while you can always get recommendations for what worked well for other families when you work with an expert you will be getting recommendations for what will work for your family!

Working With Me

As a Travel Advisor specializing in family travel I’ve helped hundreds of families plan their memorable vacations to Theme Parks, Mexico & the Caribbean, on Cruises, as well as on guided and self guided vacations through Europe and South America just to name a few. I get to know YOU and provide PERSONALIZED packages to fit YOUR needs because at the end of the day a vacation is not one size fits all! 

How it Works- The Concierge
Planning Difference

Step 1–  Start by scheduling your complimentary consultation phone call. During our 15-minute discovery call, I will get to know you and what your vacations needs and wants are. We will discuss your budget, your likes, and dislikes and I will work on narrowing down the best options for you. If you still aren’t sure of an exact destination we will narrow that down during our call. I will ask ALL of the questions I need in order to provide you with the perfect vacation options for you and your family!

If you are unable to schedule a call you can start by emailing me at megank@livingwiththemagic.com and I will send you a list of questions to complete so I can get to know you better. 

Step 2–  I will invoice you my concierge planning fee and get right to work on your custom quote.

Step 3– You’ll receive & review your custom quote with vacation options picked personally for you including detailed descriptions of each of your options. As you go through your options I will be available to you to answer any questions to help you pick the perfect package! 

Step 4– Once you have picked your perfect vacation I will take care of booking it for you! Not only will I book your package but I will also book all the things to make your vacation as seamless and stress-free as possible, from transfers, tours, dining, special experiences, and more!  All you have to do is show up and create memories! 

Step 5– No need to sit on hold only to talk to someone at a call center. I’m always just a phone call or text away to answer all of your questions or make any changes necessary. 

Step 6– Put up that out of the office, pack your bags and create memories with your loved ones!

*Your initial phone consultation is complimentary. After completing our consultation there will be a non-refundable $250 Concierge Planning and research fee for all Caribbean, theme park and FIT vacation packages or a $100 Concierge Planning and research fee for all Cruise vacations. Group Concierge Planning and research fees vary based on the request and a quote will be provided for those services after our complimentary consultation. I do not currently book Domestic vacations outside of Theme Park vacation packages

TROPICAL VACATION PLANNING

I’m your resident, go-to, all-inclusive resort pro! I’m your margarita tester…your Bali bed by the pool tester, your let’s try ALL the restaurants, all the pool-side bars, and food trucks tester…I try ALL the most important things to gain real-life experiences at the best all-inclusive resorts. Want the best beach? The best kids’ clubs? The best water parks? The comfiest beds? The best mojito? I have you covered!! I’ve been there, and done that! Between all the different islands, resort brands, resorts within those brands, and different types of room types the whole process can easily send you down a google rabbit hole. My relationships with GMs at resorts ensure that you are treated like VIPs on vacation. And I will plan all the extra experiences to make your Caribbean vacation one of a kind- from booking your transfers to excursions, spa reservations, romantic beach dinners, and more I take care of it all.

THEME PARK VACATION PLANNING

Theme park vacations are a different sort of beast! Many families avoid them for years because the thought of figuring out the ins and outs is just too overwhelming. Let’s be real, you may feel like you need a degree in Disney to understand the difference between Genie+ and Lightning Lane and what a park pass reservation is. Or maybe you don’t know the best resort and ticket package to purchase for your Universal vacation, did you know that some resorts offer free Express Passes which can save you hundreds of dollars? I help you navigate through all the confusing terms, choose the best resort and ticket packages, and then plan all of the details of your vacation. My planning service includes itineraries based on the best park to visit each day, booking dining reservations, transfers, special experiences, and much more! Plus you will receive Tips & Hints as well as a guide to help you navigate your way through the theme parks so you are getting the most out of your vacation!

CRUISE VACATION PLANNING

Whether you want to cruise the Caribbean, explore the beauty of Alaska by sea, or sail around the Med I will use my first-hand knowledge and partnerships with various cruise lines to help you find the perfect itinerary, ship and sailing experience. Once you are booked I will ensure you are aware of the sailing requirements as well as book your excursions and any special dining and/or drink packages.

FIT AND GUIDDED TOURS VACATION PLANNING

So you want to travel around Europe or perhaps you want a custom package to tour Costa Rica? Figuring out how you get from one city to another, which tours are worth it and which aren’t, and which hotels will be centrally located to everything you want to see can be extremely overwhelming. Plus you may be dealing with a language barrier in some countries so having a tour guide who can help you is extremely important! If you’re planning on taking kids it could be even more difficult to determine how you will find transfers with car seats or decide which tour companies are the best for traveling with children. Maybe a group tour like an Adventure by Disney is the best for you or maybe piecing it together would be your better option. I’m here to help you navigate through it all!
