How you get yours

There’s nothing to sign up for. It comes with the trip.

Ask for a quote

Two minutes on the planning form, or just call or text. Rough dates and a rough budget are fine.

Book with me

Same price as booking direct. I watch for new offers after you book and apply them when I can.

Your guide arrives

I email you the guide for your destination. Read it on your phone or print it. Every line of the contents is tappable.

We plan it together

The guide covers the basics. Then I build your day-by-day itinerary and handle the bookings with you.

What you’ll find inside

The same things my happiest clients wanted to know before they left home.

A planning timeline. What to do when, from booking day to day one of your trip.
The app, set up right. Accounts, tickets and mobile ordering, step by step.
Skip-the-line passes, explained. What they cost, what they cover and whether they’re worth it for you.
Height charts. Every ride at every park, so nobody gets a surprise at the entrance.
Where to eat. Sit-down favorites, quick bites and the snacks worth the line.
Park by park, ship by ship. The headliners, the hidden gems and a sample day.
When things go wrong. Rain, closures, lost items and what to do.
What’s new. New rides, refurbishments and seasonal events for 2026–27.
A packing list. Everything for your park or beach bag, and what to leave at home.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The guide comes with any Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Universal (Orlando or Hollywood) or SeaWorld Orlando vacation you book through me, and booking with me costs the same as booking direct.

Can I buy the guide on its own?

No. It’s written for my clients and goes with the planning I do for them, so it isn’t sold separately.

When do I get it?

Right after your trip is booked, so you have the most time to use it.

How up to date is it?

Every guide was written or rebuilt in October 2026 and checked against the parks’ and cruise lines’ own websites. Prices and rules change, so I always confirm the details for your exact dates before you go.

Is it printed or digital?

It’s a PDF. Read it on your phone, tablet or computer, or print it at home. The contents page links to every section.
