I am your personal Castle Coach for all things Disney and Universal. You can think of me as your very best magical pal! My services if booking a vacation package with Disney or Universal are complimentary and at no cost to you. However, many often ask what my service entails.  *From Start to Finish Planning: * - An initial phone call or instant message chat to go over your booking needs.  - Booking your resort vacation and tickets to your favorite theme park destinations. - Booking your dining reservations for some of Disney's most sought dining destinations. - Booking extra magic for your trip such as scooters, special events, strollers, transportation to and from the airport, and even looking into grocery deliveries and so much more. - Custom itineraries are sent prior to your departure date.  - Reserving your theme park reservations and manage your My Disney Experience Account leading up to your trip. - A phone call or instant message chat to go over any questions prior to your departure date.  Unfortunately, I am unable to book your airfare needs. This must be handled directly through your own choice of airline. Additionally, many factors can go wrong with handling third-party air travel booking. I highly recommend you book directly. ✈️ ## My Promise To You I'm passionate about making your dream vacation just that, a dream! Once you sign the contract, the following services are included complimentary when you book with me for a complete Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation - Theme Park Reservation management - Booking your Disney Dining reservations  - Booking your hotel - Clear communication (even after business hours, if I don't respond right away, you can rest assured I am looking into your request and will get back to you as soon as possible!) - Personalized Itinerary prior to your departure date - Booking magical extras and rentals - I will happily create complimentary holds for your potential reservations, but keep in mind they can expire if not confirmed and prices will no longer be locked in.  ## Your Promise To Me I can't book your vacation without YOU! I'm here to alleviate the stress of planning, but I still need your input to make sure it's a magical time. You make all of this possible and without you, I can't do what I do to bring the magic to you!  - Agree and sign the contract in a timely manner.  - Clear communication on dates, people traveling, and their ages (this is required to hold the reservation) - Clear budget and booking expectations - Trust that I can do my job to the best of my ability to ensure that you have the best vacation ever! - Communication during business hours is highly encouraged.    ## A la carte services available! Already have a hotel booked but need help with dining? Found park tickets cheaper from a third-party but need help with planning your stay? No problem! I'm here to help.  - A la carte planning costs $50 per day for dining. A la carte planning fee examples are detailed on the [Castle Coaches Travel page.](https://www.castlecoachestravel.com/a-la-carte-planning) - Complimentary services are only available for full vacation packages which are not limited but include: - Hotel stay -  Park tickets - Dining reservations \*Per day, the maximum party of five. For parties of six or more, please contact us for custom pricing \*\* Planning fees are non-refundable and are clearly stated in the Travel Services Agreement a client signs prior to working together. ## Change of plans? I got you covered!  Change happens, and that's ok! Sometimes your dates have to shift. You let me know and I'll handle everything with Disney. However, if I've already booked you a hotel and dining and you have to change your vacation dates, a planning fee will be applied to plan for the new dates. As always, there are no guarantees that a restaurant or resort will be available in your new timeframe. - Dining planning is complimentary during the initial booking. But a $25 per day may be applied for future booking changes and date changes.  - Keep in mind many of your favorite booked activities or dining may not be available the second time around. It is always subject to availability! - Should you need to cancel the full planning and vacation package cancelation fees will be applied and are outlined in the contract at the time of booking.
