Top 8 Reasons to Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner In 2023

By Steve 12 Comments

 A Disney vacation is the perfect place for a military family to spend time together and think of nothing else.

It’s the ideal location for a pre-deployment getaway, for reconnecting after a deployment, or for a special treat for the kids while mom or dad is away.

Top 8 Reasons to Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can be a complex endeavor for any family. During your planning you’ll make many decisions that will affect all aspects of your vacation. Throw in the complexities of the many varied military deals and discounts which are available from multiple sources and it can become a daunting task.

That’s why Military DisneyTips recommends that you use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.

If you’ve explored Military Disney Tips a little, you are probably already aware that we recommend Ears of Experience as our preferred Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.

Here are our Top 8 Reasons for you to Use a Disney Vacation Planner

8. Less Stress

Using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner can take all of that stress out of planning a Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation. They will handle everything for you and guide you to the right decisions.

7. They Are Disney Specialists

Unlike traditional Travel Agents or online self-serve websites, Authorized Disney Vacation Planner’s are Disney specialists who have completed mandatory training by Disney in order to become “Authorized.” And very often Disney vacations are all that they do, they focus on nothing else.

6. They Love of Disney

Authorized Disney Vacation Planners get into this field because they love planning Disney vacations. Most begin this after planning multiple Disney vacations of their own.

5. They Are Knowledgeable About Disney

Because they only do Disney and love Disney they are some of the very most knowledge individuals about Disney on the planet.

4. Price Updates

Your Authorized Disney Vacation Planner watches out for you. They live and breathe Disney every day and are in constant contact with a special team of Disney Agent Only reservationists. Your Authorized Disney Vacation Planner knows when new discounts come out for the timeframe that you have already booked and will automatically re-book you at the new lower price.

3. Award Winning Service

Military Disney Tips’ recommended Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, Ears of Experience has received the Platinum Earmarked award from Disney Destinations.

There are only a small, select group in this elite classification of Authorized Disney Vacation Planners!

2. Assistance Based on Personal Experience Experience

Authorized Disney Vacation Planners are at the Disney World and Disneyland often, because the love to go and to get the latest information for you!

Ears of Experience has an agent at DIsney every week of the year. This gives them real-time current information that is shared with all the agents to help you.

1. Large Military Family Staff

Ears of Experience has a large number of military spouses on staff to assist you with your military discounted vacation. While other companies may have at the most one or two military experienced individuals (or most likely none), Ears of Experience is: 1. owned and operated by a military family and 2. has a very large number of agents with military Disney experience ready to assist you.

These agents use the same discounts that you do, so they are totally familiar with them.

Ears of Experience is Disney’s largest booker of military discounted travel.

There will be no guessing by a civilian about military discounts!

Why We Recommend Ears of Experience

We’ve outlined many reasons above. The 2 biggest reasons are that they are part of our military family and have Years of Experience (get the name now?) with Disney vacations.

In the 13 years that Military Disney Tips has recommended Ears of Experience, our readers have requested over 19 thousand Disney quotes from our trusted partner.

    Good afternoon, do you have a couple recommended agents to talk with a lot of experience/knowledge and more specifically geared towards military discounts/strategies? Just looking for the best fit.
    Thanks

    What is the difference between using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and going direct through Disney? We are planning our second trip to Disney and both last time and so far this time we are/have booked direct through Disney. We have tried to use Ears of Experience agents but have not found that special touch that booking direct through Disney offers.

      Hi Jen,

      Perhaps the biggest reason to go with a knowledgable planner is that, when booking through Disney directly you make you reservation and that is the only service provided (you get a reservation). If a discount comes out for your timeframe (military or general public) they will not advise you or change it for you. You are on your own and if you are unaware of the new lower price you will pay the higher price. Sure they are friendly on the phone and say “Have a Magical Day” but they are after as much as they can get.

      When new discounts come out the Ears team is on the phones with their Disney counterparts, lowering prices for their affected customers in bulk. This is most important on the day (and a few days after) the Disney Armed Forces Salute is announced.

      If you are confident that you won’t miss a discount that comes out and want to take the time to call back yourself (you could spend the whole day on the phone when the Salute comes out), then you can surely take that on, but you’ll pay no more to have someone else handle it for you.

      Thanks for asking.

    Why don’t you publish the phone number, so we can begin our planning immediately, instead of waiting for you to respond? Is this only a part-time venture?

      Hi there Randy,

      I see that your request for your July trip was submitted at 10:51 eastern. Ears of Experience responded to you at 2:57, 7 minutes before you posted here.

      The agents assigned to you do work full time. Perhaps they were assisting others during those 4 hours.

      Thanks for your understanding and patience.
