Top 5 Reasons NOT to use a Tink’s Travel Planner for Your Next Walt Disney World Vacation

By Tink’s Planner, Allyson
When it comes to planning a Walt Disney World vacation, there is a lot of information available to you. Books, online articles, blogs, social media posts, stories from friends, and then there’s the travel professional who specializes in Disney Destinations. The big question is: Is it really worth it to use one of these Disney experts to help plan your vacation? Or are you better off using your own judgement and research skills to book your vacation on your own? 

​Offering concierge level tips and advice, Tink’s Magical Vacations, LLC is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner agency and has a team of specialized planners who will steer you in the right direction so that your Disney vacation is ever more magical. But here are five reasons that you may NOT want to use one of their magical planners……….
You enjoy listening to hours of hold music.
Disney has great customer service, but sometimes speaking to someone that can assist you takes time. LOTS OF TIME. Like hours. Tink’s planners will wait (on your behalf) on hold, to speak with Disney cast members to apply newly released promotions to your vacation package, work on room bookings, or handle dining or technology issues. Sometimes for eight or more hours. But if you have the time to do this, and enjoy listening to hold music for long durations of time, then maybe using a travel planner is not for you. 
Getting up at 6am to make your dining reservations is something you look forward to doing. And you understand the process!
Did you know that Tink’s planners know how to prioritize which reservations to book first, because some restaurants may fill up quickly? 
Many, also, are willing to be up and ready to assist in making your dining requests on your behalf when your dining window opens! But if you prefer waking up early and know how to work through the system, then maybe using a travel planner is not for you. 
You trust everything that you read on Facebook is accurate.
Sometimes weeding through all the information posted online can seem daunting. It sounds so good; it must be true! Or is it?  Tink’s planners have a deep knowledge of Disney destinations and are able to answer questions and provide guidance, on a personal level. Not everything found on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. is accurate, so having a trusted travel advisor on your team helps save you time and sort through the facts. But if you are thinking, “I got this!” then perhaps using a Tink’s planner is not for you.
You find Disney technology easy to navigate on your own.
One thing Disney is known for is their use of technology. From Magic Bands and the My Disney Experience account to the new Genie app, the technology is ever evolving. Do you know who to call when you have an issue? Do you know where to turn in the parks when you experience a problem with your app or your items are not linked? Understand how to use Genie+ and Individual Lightening Lane, and know the difference? No? You know who does know all this and more? Tink’s travel planners! And they will be happy to guide you! But if you are confident that you have the technology end of things down pat, then maybe using a travel planner isn’t for you.
You enjoy an impersonal vacation experience.
When you call Disney directly, you will get a different cast member every time. Disney cast members do not know you or your family, or any specific details of your vacation. Tink’s planners provide you with concierge service! They not only handle your vacation booking, but they also customize the itinerary based on the needs of your family (ages, budget, interests, etc.) to maximize the time you get to enjoy your vacation and alleviate the stress of planning. You also have a direct number to your specific agent who is aware 
of all the specifics of your trip. In addition, agents enjoy sending guests special items prior to their vacations, know at Tink’s as “pixie dusting.”  If none of this sounds like something you want and you prefer an impersonal approach to planning your vacation, then using a Tink’s planner is definitely not for you.

The goal of Tink’s agents is to provide you with a stress-free booking experience in planning, so that when you actually are set to travel, it is the most enjoyable trip you can possibly have. They keep up to date on the most accurate and up-to-the minute information at Disney World so that they can provide it to their guests. If none of the points above sound beneficial to you, and you prefer an impersonal approach to planning your vacation, then using a Tink’s planner is definitely not for you. However, if after reading this you are enlightened and realize the many wonderful benefits that Tink’s has to offer guests, please contact Tink’s to book your Walt Disney World vacation today!
