Why Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner?

MAIN STREET TRAVEL, LLC is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.  We have been honored to received this highly sought-after designation every year since 2012.   Currently Earmarked GOLD, Main Street Travel, LLC strives to provide the BEST service & planning tools to our valued guests!

So what exactly does that mean and why should you book with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner?

 Being a part of the Authorized Disney Vacation Planner program is not only an honor, but its also something that agencies work HARD for.  It takes time and an incredibly amount of Disney Destination knowledge to reach this designation.  It is not just something an agency gets to call itself.  Disney sets forth strict criteria that an agency has to meet in order to be able to use this designation.  Once an agency earns the designation, then even more strict criteria is placed up on them.

 Any agency that has earned the designation of Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, is an agency you can trust with your Disney Destination Vacation.

 The expertise and knowledge of our amazing travel planners at Main Street Travel, LLC continues to earn the agency this designation year after year.  Going on 12 years in travel planning as a whole, and 9 of those years of being a part of the Earmarked program, our knowledge and commitment to our guests vacations are unmatched.  

 Now, don’t be fooled!  Disney also sets forth strict rules in regards as to how one refers to themselves regarding Disney Destinations.   If you see an AGENT referring to themselves … such as one may say “I am an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner”….or “I am a Disney Specialist”…or “I am a Disney Planner”……  this person has NO CLUE what they are talking about.  If they were truly Earmarked, they would know that you are not allowed to use these terms.    

 Who can use the terms?   AN AGENCY.  Not an individual travel planner.  Only AGENCIES are given the designation and are allowed to use the terminology.  So the “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner” should always be used in reference to the agency as a whole, and NEVER an individual travel agent. 

 What can one say that is ok & not a red flag to you?  “I Specialize in Disney Destinations” is one thing one can say.   The terminology one uses must not imply that the person works FOR Disney.  But instead, simply that they have a specialty and that specialty is Disney Destinations.

 Disney wants to make sure that YOU, the consumer, understands that we ARE NOT Disney employees.  We are Main Street Travel Planners, we just happen to specialize in Disney Destinations.   So be careful & pay attention to how an agent may represent themselves, this will be your first clue in making sure you are choosing an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.
