Frequently Asked Questions

What types of vacations do you specialize in?

Stay Well Travel Planning specializes in family vacations, including Disney vacations, Universal Studios trips, cruises, and resort getaways. I help travelers plan personalized vacations that fit their interests, budget, and travel style while making the process as simple as possible.

Do you help first-time Disney or Universal Studios travelers?

Yes! I love helping first-time (& returning!) Disney and Universal travelers feel confident and prepared before their trip. I can help with resort recommendations, park planning, dining options, itineraries, and tips to make your vacation smoother and more enjoyable.

Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking myself?

Planning a vacation can quickly become overwhelming with so many choices, changing policies, and online information. As your travel advisor, I help simplify the process, save you time & money, and provide personalized recommendations based on you family's needs, goals, and vision. You'll also have support before, during, and after your trip.

Do your travel planning and booking services cost extra?

My travel planning services and resources are complimentary to my clients, because I earn commission through the travel suppliers. On occasion, people who have booked a trip on their own reach out looking for assistance and resources. In that instance, I may charge a small fee, which would be discussed prior to working with them. 

What destinations do you book?

I primarily help my clients plan:

  • Disney vacations

  • Universal Studios & Epic Universe vacations

  • Cruises (ocean & river)

  • Caribbean all-inclusive resorts

  • European tours & travel

​

If you have another destination in mind, feel free to reach out and I'll let you know how I can help!

Can you help with cruises?

Yes! I help clients plan cruise vacations by assisting with cruise line selection, itineraries, cabin selections, travel protection, and excursion options prior to departure.

Do you only work with families?

Families are my primary focus, but I also have extensive experience helping couples, multigenerational groups, and solo travelers who are looking for personalized support and expert guidance with their vacation planning needs.

Do you help families with autism or sensory-related travel needs?

Yes. As an IBCCES Certified Autism Travel Professional, I provide personalized support for families looking for thoughtful vacation planning tailored to their unique travel needs, comfort levels, and routines.

 

I understand that travel can feel overwhelming for some families, and my goal is to help create a more comfortable and well-prepared travel experience. 

What is included when working with Stay Well Travel Planning?

When you work with Stay Well Travel Planning, you receive personalized vacation planning support that may include:

  • Destination recommendations

  • Resort or hotel guidance

  • Cruise planning assistance

  • Vacation package and excursion booking

  • Dining & itinerary guidance

  • Travel tips and preparation support

  • Ongoing communication before travel

  • Payment management

  • Reminders about entry & exit requirements (if traveling internationally)

​

My goal is to make your planning experience easier and more enjoyable.

How far in advance should I plan my trip?

For Disney and Universal vacations, cruises, and popular family travel seasons (think spring break, summer & Christmas break), planning 6-12 months in advance is recommended for the best pricing and availability.

​

However, I do also help with shorter-notice trips depending on availability!

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Click on the link in the "Book Your Trip" page for the type of travel you're interested in and complete the initial form sharing all of your ideas, goals, preferences, and budget with me. From there, I'll begin working on an initial quote as a starting point for your vacation planning. We'll work together to make changes until the quote that we have matches your vision for the trip.

Do you help with travel protection or insurance?

Yes, I can provide information about available travel protection options to help protect your vacation investment and give you additional peace of mind before & during your trip. Travel protection is optional and completely up to you.

What makes Stay Well Travel Planning different?

Stay Well Travel Planning focuses on personalized, reduced stress vacation planning with communication and  genuine support throughout the process.

​

I believe travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My goal is to help families, couples, groups, or solo travelers spend less time worrying about details and more time enjoying meaningful time together.
