Planning a Disney vacation (Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani, or an Adventures by Disney) is like putting a big puzzle together. Planning and doing it right can take HOURS upon HOURS of research, preparation, and know-how, even for the most savvy of Disney travelers. Many times, it is hard to find real answers to certain questions, and let’s face it, who wants to take the time? A travel professional, especially one specializing in Disney vacations, is the best bet for having a truly magical vacation at the happiest places on earth, because they really do all the preparation and leg work for you.

We specialize in taking care of all the little details to make your vacation the best that it can be! Below is just a small sampling of some services that can help with on your next Disney vacation:

Dining Reservations:
We pride ourselves on getting the most popular and fun restaurants that are at Walt Disney World, and Disneyland (if given enough advance notice). We work with clients to recommend the best restaurant matches for their families, and times that are most convenient to them. Even if your dining reservation is not available at first our agents are diligent at working to get you the reservations.

“Mousesitting” reservations for further discounts:

Many times, Disney releases discounts as the dates get closer, but if there is still availability, they will adjust the package price. Once you book your vacation with 101 Dream Vacations we are always checking any new offers that are released to make sure you are getting the best deal. We are always monitoring discounts on your vacation, or as we call it “Mousesitting”. We have saved clients hundreds of dollars by automatically applying the new discounts and adjusting the vacation package or cruise.

Itinerary planning assistance:

One of the trickiest parts of planning a vacation at Disney is planning the itineraries! We help plan your days to be the least crowded days, and to minimize waiting in line as little as possible, but yet still leaving in plenty of time to be spontaneous and take it easy!

Knowledge and Experience:
No one knows Disney like we do! We have experienced every ride and show, have stayed at all of the resorts and eaten at all of the restaurants at both Disneyland and Disney World! At 101 Dream Vacations we love researching and planning, so we are always up to date with the most current shows, refurbishments and new attractions that Disney is constantly coming out with. Did you know that Disney changes park hours up to the date of your vacation? We stay on top of that.

We have also been to all of the major surrounding attractions in both California and Orlando, and are experienced in all Disney Cruise Line’s itineraries and all of their Ports of Call!

We really KNOW Disney! All of our agents are graduates from Disney’s College of Disney Knowledge, and more than that, have experienced the destinations multiple times, first hand. We pride ourselves in being equally proficient on ALL of the Disney destinations. We love keeping up to date with all of the details and deals that Disney releases… from new rides and shows, to refurbishments and new policies. Disney is constantly changing!

Most of our agents have been experts on Disney destinations and vacations by their families and friends long before becoming a travel professional with 101 Dream Vacations. There isn’t any question about any Disney park, resort hotel, or restaurant that we cannot answer. We understand people want their concerns listened to, their questions answered and someone to look out for them, and that is what 101 Dream Vacations provides. We are on your side.

Traveling at a peak travel time?
Wondering which restaurants are the most popular and book up months in advance?

Which resort hotels are the best bang for the buck?
When is the best time to go to Disney? No problem, we can help!

None, any payments made will go directly to the travel supplier and not to us. Any credit card payments will be charged directly with the supplier (Walt Disney Travel Company, Southwest Vacations, Alaskan Air Vacations) and not 101 Dream Vacations.

If purchasing a vacation package with hotel and tickets, or a cruise, we will be happy to help find the best deals for airfare. We always check both with a package and separately to see which one is cheaper. We do recommend to our clients to keep their eye out for airfare themselves as well, due to specials that may be running in different parts of the country that we may not be aware of.

We do not do air only reservations.

Yes, you can access your reservation by registering to their site, and entering in your confirmation/reservation number, and a birthdate of anyone on that same reservation. You can pre-book Palo reservations, spa treatments, register kids for the kids’ programs, and make shore excursions, as well as check in online to save time at the cruise terminal.

Absolutely! It is one of our specialties! This service is included at no additional charge when you book your vacation with us. We will work with you and your itinerary to get a list of restaurants and when you would like them booked. (We can help with the choices and give opinions on any of them as well.) The dining experience can totally add another layer of magic to any Disney vacation (especially those with a dining plan), so we do our best to get all of the prime locations!

**Some restaurants book up months in advance at Walt Disney World, so depending on the advance notice, availability could be very limited.

Once we book your vacation, we get the billing information and the charge goes directly through Disney or the travel supplier, not 101 Dream Vacations. There are never any charges from 101 Dream Vacations, or an agent of 101 Dream Vacations.

101 Dream Vacations does not have cancellation or change fees other than those charged directly by Disney or the travel supplier. Magic Your Way Vacation Packages will never have a cancellation fee imposed by 101 Dream Vacations. The only fees that will apply are those assessed by the Walt Disney Travel Company. Other travel suppliers have different cancellation and change policies, but the client will be made aware of them before applying deposit.

Yes, there are plenty of options that are available off-property as well and can be combined into packages with tickets and airfare if needed. We will treat your reservation with the same care and attention as our on-site clients. Depending on the supplier, different terms, conditions and cancellation fees may apply.

We try to respond to all quote requests within 24 hours. But if it is over a holiday, and depending on the complexity of the request and the volume received, it may take a little longer.
