Can I book Disney directly and still use an advisor?

If you've already booked directly with Disney, we can often transfer that reservation to our agency at no cost, so we can manage it going forward. Contact us with your confirmation number.

Do you handle Disneyland too?

Yes. We plan both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California, as well as Disney Cruise Line sailings. The planning process is similar, though Disneyland trips are typically shorter (2–3 park days).

What information do you need from my family to start?

We start with travel dates (or flexible windows), number of travelers and ages, a rough budget, must-do experiences, and any dietary or accessibility needs. From there, we build your custom plan.

How does Lightning Lane Multi Pass work?

Lightning Lane Multi Pass lets you reserve timed return windows for attractions, skipping the standby line. Resort guests can book 7 days before check-in; day guests book day-of. Your Luxe advisor helps you prioritize which rides to book first based on typical availability patterns.

Get a Free Quote

A Luxe Travel Disney advisor is completely free to use. We are paid a commission by Disney, not by you. Your vacation costs the same price (or less with promotions we monitor) whether you book through us or directly. We handle resort selection, dining reservations, Lightning Lane strategy, and itinerary building at no additional charge.

Is a Disney travel advisor free?

Yes — 100% free. Luxe Travel advisors are compensated by Disney through a commission on your booking. Your trip costs the same (or less, because we apply promotions the moment they drop) whether you book through us or directly with Disney.

We monitor Disney's promotional calendar daily. When a discount appears — such as the annual Free Dining promotion or a room-rate discount — we apply it to your existing reservation automatically. Many families save $500–$2,000 this way without lifting a finger. There is never a planning fee, consultation fee, or hidden charge.

How much does a Walt Disney World vacation cost?

A typical 5-night Walt Disney World trip for a family of four ranges from $3,500 to $12,000+, depending on resort tier, time of year, and dining choices. Value resorts like Pop Century start around $150/night, while Deluxe resorts like the Grand Floridian start around $650/night.

Budget breakdown for a family of four, 5 nights in October 2026 (shoulder season): • Value resort (Pop Century): ~$750 lodging + ~$1,800 tickets + ~$500 dining = ~$3,050 before flights • Moderate resort (Caribbean Beach): ~$1,250 lodging + ~$1,800 tickets + ~$700 dining = ~$3,750 before flights • Deluxe resort (Polynesian Village): ~$3,250 lodging + ~$1,800 tickets + ~$900 dining = ~$5,950 before flights Flights vary by origin but typically run $250–$450 per person round-trip to Orlando.

When should I book my Disney World trip?

Book your Walt Disney World resort 8–12 months in advance for the best room selection. Disney opens reservations 499 days (roughly 16 months) ahead. Dining reservations open 60 days before arrival, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass purchases open 7 days before check-in for resort guests.

Key booking windows: • 16 months out: Resort reservations open • 8–12 months out: Best room availability and time to catch early promotions • 60 days out: Dining reservations open (set your alarm — popular restaurants fill in minutes) • 7 days out (resort guests): Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections open • Day of (day guests): Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections open The cheapest times to visit are typically mid-January through mid-February, mid-September, and early December before the holiday surge.
