Disney Q&A
What is one guilty pleasure that you have to indulge in each time you visit Walt Disney World?
When I’m at Disney World, I just have to shop. I’m usually looking for a new Disney Vera Bradley bag or something to remind me of my trip once I’m back home, going through post Disney trip depression. Who is your favorite Disney character? My favorite character is Stitch, because he’s absolutely adorable and a little mischievous. How old were you when you first visited Walt Disney World? My first trip to Walt Disney World was when I was 21. If you had to choose one Disney destination to visit this year, which would it be – Disneyland, Disney World, or a Disney Cruise? This question is an easy choice; Disney Cruise Lines all the way! It is the vacation of a lifetime. If you could visit an empty Disney park, all alone, which would it be and what would you do? This would be so much fun to do! If I could be all alone in a Disney park, it would be the Magic Kingdom. I would be in my best pair of comfy jammies and having the time of my life! What do you do first when you board a Disney Cruise – pool or lunch? Lunch outside on the top deck, and then adult only time in the pool.

FAQs about my services:
|
Why are your services free?
Pixie and Pirate Destinations, nor myself, ever charges our clients anything for our services. I am paid commission from the companies I book vacations with - Disney, Universal Vacations, Norwegian Cruise Lines, etc. You will pay the same amount of money booking a trip with me as you would if you booked it directly through the company itself. And sometimes I am able to find a better deal because of the special promotions that are available. A reservation transfer may be an option if you have already booked a vacation. As a Dream Vacation Planner (DVP) I work strictly off of commission and I hope that if you decide to book a vacation you will choose to book your vacation with me. Please keep this in mind if I do a lot of research on a vacation for you. Regardless of the number of hours I put toward helping a client plan, I am not paid hourly, Why should I book my vacation with you and Pixie and Pirate Destinations? I have an honest passion for Disney and the Disney destinations. And my Disney knowledge is up to date since this is my career. I have guidelines to follow that are put in place by Pixie and Pirate Destinations. I have been trained to provide you with the best customer service in the industry. And I am willing to work "with" you in planning your vacation. At Pixie and Pirate Destinations our motto is "go above and beyond for each client's individual needs."

Once your vacation is booked I will continue to help with dining reservations, a personalized daily itinerary, an updated personal web page where you can track your reservation and more. I am here to see you through to the end of your vacation to make sure you have a magical time. What is the first step? The first step in the vacation planning process is to request a quote for your desired Disney destination. When you request a quote you have the option of choosing me as you DVP - so please be sure to click on my name or add it into the comments. Once I have your quote request I will listen to your needs and expectations, and guide you through the best options for your family. How do I pay for my vacation? To process deposits and payments for your vacation I will need your address, phone number and credit card information. I can either schedule a phone call for you to give this information over the phone, or you can use our secure website to submit for a payment. Pixie and Pirate Destinations, nor myself, will EVER personally make a charge to your credit card. You will see a charge from the Walt Disney Travel Company (or another travel vendor such as Universal Travel, Norwegian Cruise Lines, etc.). I use your card information to process your deposit or payment directly through the travel vendor (Disney, etc.). And your CC information will always be kept private. If you ever see a charge that you think is fraudulent contact your credit card company immediately. |
