[@mickeytravelsamber]

+Lisa Mooodina Hi Lisa! I take it you booked already? When did you book?

[@LISANAUHSTEN]

+MickeyTravels Amber No actually. We visit Disneyland pretty often. I want to plan a trip to either WDW or Aulani in August. Was so happy to stumble on your KZbin channel.

For the most part in Florida, particularly in Orlando, May through November tend to be hot, usually, like late 60s to late 70s in the morning by 11 AM- noon it gets to be about late 80s-90s. June through September almost every year have been hot day through night, late September this past fall was in the 90s and it was killer and HUMID. November through April (after February it becomes kinda iffy and differs year-to-year) tends to get cold at night, late 30s to mid-50s, during the day it tends to differ a bunch, 70s to early 80s, depending on the weather of other states. Just for your information, I'm loving your videos and watching them just makes me ridiculously excited, more so than I already am, to go to disney.

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Rachel Ardito Thank you so much!

[@mflynn45]

[@scrapper900]

I am a Disney Travel Planner as well and I LOVE my job. I really enjoy helping to design an awesome itinerary for my clients and then hearing about what an awesome time they had.

[@findingdisney9016]

This was extremely helpful!!! Thank you!! I’m about to have my first interview with a travel agency.

[@farristravels6965]

its hot as hello kitty during the summer in Orlando, Warm in the winter

[@sharissepadron2375]

Very helpful video. I have a couple of questions, Um I'm planning a trip to Disney around March 16th through the 20th. I'm looking into reservations at the All Stars Sports resort. But I do have a family member who is a cast member. Do I have tell him when n where I'm staying or if I'm using a travel agent? Thank you

[@starangeldragon1]

ok i have three questions, first questions if you only have two people going to disney and the one person is an adult and a child and the adult wants to go out and have fun is there a place for the child to be babysit? second questions is can u bring extra money for just in case the adult or child gets snackish while at disney without using the snack perks that came with ur disney plan? and lastly what stuff do u bring to disney if u r going during the summer time?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

***** Good questions! I actually have a packing video that I explain different items to bring for the summer especially. There are child care services available on property, just depends how old the child is. You can find those on the Disney website. You can pay out of pocket for anything even if you are on the dining plan, just don't scan your band when you are paying.

[@TashasCreativeJuice]

I wish I had made all of my DW planning YT searches before I booked our trip. There is a chance that I will be going again this summer, if so I'll be sure to use you! I do have a question though, we bought a package and went ahead and paid but didn't select park hopper. Now I'm regretting that, never been without it before, and would like to add it. Is there a way to add it before we get there?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

TashasCreativeJuice Yes, if you call Disney about your package they should be able to update that for you. Or you can go to guest services and apply the park hopper. I would do that before you use any of your days because you'll be paying the same price for the hopper whether you've used zero days or all but one day on the tickets.

[@natalieg5425]

can you please do a video on MVMCP please like tips and must see or do?!

[@kylestacy511]

i am going in may we are staying at the poly first then the beach club is there a way for them to move are bags or do we have to find a way to take them with us when we switch hotels

[@mickeytravelsamber]

+Kyle Stacy Your bags can be moved by Disney

[@kylestacy511]

thank u

[@LadyRavenEyes]

My mom brags to this day how 20 some odd years ago on my family's first trip to Disney a Disney travel agent got her upgraded from a moderate hotel to the Grand Foridian for only $100 more.

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Wow!

[@fss7685]

Amber, your videos have helped a lot!!! It's hard for me, specially for being our first time going to Disney. We'll be during one of the most crowded weeks in the year (April 6th-9th). Should I consider 2 days MK, 1 Day Epcot, 1 Animal Kingdom...leaving Hollywood Studio completely out. Should I calculate 1 day for each park (I have young kids so the idea is to go to the parks in the morning and come back to hotel in the afternoon)? Thanks!!!

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Fernanda Sanchez Do you happen to have park hopper tickets?

[@fss7685]

MickeyTravels Amber no...I guess I'll focus on main attractions in MK, so as to leave another day for Hollywood studios...advice?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Fernanda Sanchez If you've never been, it's nice to visit each park. At the same time, Magic Kingdom for 2 days is also a great idea. My advice would be to look at each parks attractions and see if Epcot, Animal or Hollywood would be worth the day.

[@fss7685]

Fernanda Sanchez if I choose one park for the fast pass today, but then I decide to go another day or change the park...will I be able to do it? or once you select the park you can not change it? thanks a lot!

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Fernanda Sanchez You can change fastpasses anytime, even while in the park!

[@stuartlaing4488]

When is the best time for school age kids.

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Stuart Laing In the Fall or Late Winder if you can get them out of school. If not, then Late May or Late August

[@pedromontoro1136]

Hi, I write from México, I discovered your videos and I became a big fan of yours and all the information you give, Thanks for that. So, I´m planning a trip to Disney World by January next year. According to my plans, I will first pay the airfare and hotel (Disney resort) through a travel site like Expedia, then I plan to pay some months after for the Disney Dinning Plan, and by the end, a few weeks before I travel, pay for the tickets to the parks. My questions are: Do I got to have already paid for the Disney Dinning Plan in order to I can make reservations at Disney´s restaurants?, and the second question is, have to be paid for the tickets to the parks before I can book the fastpass+. Thanks for your time

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Pedro Montoro Hi Pedro! Could you send me an e-mail? You have a ton of info on there and I want to be sure I can answer all your questions. Booking through a site like Expedia will not allow you to add the dining plan after booking. Based on what you're saying, booking through Disney would be a better option, it will allow you to combine all of those items besides airfare and only pay the $200 down then have till 45 days before arrival to pay off the rest. You can make any payments you need and have everything together. You can't get fastpasses without tickets and booking through Expedia will not give you tickets, they will be vouchers to get tickets when you arrive. [e-mail]

[@marcellanewsom3692]

Any tips for a Disney travel agent starting out?

[@daynabatiste24]

Without the park hopper tickets, can you leave and come back to the same park?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

daynabatiste24 That's correct!

[@daynabatiste24]

so i'd be able to come back to the same park i had left from?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

daynabatiste24 Yep, as many times as you'd like!

[@cindygonzalez7368]

Where do I look to find the travel agent positions with Disney?

[@chrisquinlan9209]

abby i have a question is how can you become a mickeys trravel }the disney way?

[@nitinjain8837]

Do you book whole trip ( like if we want to visit universal with Disney in Orlando ) or you book only Disney trip . I want to go in march 2020

[@mickeytravelsamber]

I can help with the non-Disney parts but can't book them

[@joevotto6512]

Do you recommend the dining plan

[@mickeytravelsamber]

joseph votto Always! I'm a big fan

[@deniekawilliams2745]

how do you go about traveling with strollers are we able to rent strollers from the airport or doe's that work???

[@mickeytravelsamber]

+Denieka Williams You can put strollers on the airplane as your carry-on and they can put them underneath for you.

[@TheLilyinc]

I may have missed this but how far in advance can you book a trip? We are interested in going June 2016.

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Lilysmom You can book room-only trip 499 days out but for packages, you have to wait until Disney releases those new rates. Normally it's in the summer months. I will post on here and FB when I know that date for sure. If you're interested in working with me though, we can do some preplanning via e-mail and I can add you to my 2016 list!

[@brenflamingstar]

Hi, What does it take to become a Disney travel agent?

[@cdubb8185]

Awesome....I want to plan my trip in September....Pleasseeee help me lol

[@mickeytravelsamber]

cdubb Send me an email!

[@annaskalbe2284]

[@hardcorebaptist2127]

How can I contact you directly when I plan on booking and doing my families trip? Mind if I email some questions first to get to know you beforehand? thanks ;)

[@mickeytravelsamber]

+USMC KOONTZ You can contact me via e-mail at [e-mail] or via Facebook!

[@ShaneriaD]

Who much would it be for a family of five to go to Disney in flordia or disney Cruise?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Hi Shaneria! Send me a message or e-mail and we can take a look!

[@joevotto6512]

Which on Dining plan should I do

[@joevotto6512]

To get the most bang for our buck we are planing to do mostly sit down meals and rarely do quick service

[@joevotto6512]

???

[@joevotto6512]

??

[@zarimew]

Hi Joseph, for sit down meals choose the dining+ or deluxe dining plan. Go to Disneyworld.com and look up restaurants you want to eat at. Their web page will state dining plans accepted & credit cost per meal, either 1 or 2. Adding up the credits for each days meal beforehand makes it easier to see which plan will allow you to enjoy the meals you want, and prevents you from accidentally depleting your credits before your vacation is over.

[@missantre5704]

Thanks Amber for the vlogs..I would love you to help me plan my first WDW trip with my family all the way from Melbourne, Australia ...I have emailed you :)

[@AlexAlfieri02]

Do you still get all the disney perks like magic bands extra magic hours and all the others when you get a disney hotel from Priceline or any other travel site

[@mickeytravelsamber]

alex alfieri Good question, I'm actually working with someone that has done something similar with Expedia. What I've found is they do get all the perks but the park tickets will not be sent ahead of time so you won't be able to get fastpasses 60 days before. They'll more than likely give you a voucher to get your tickets when you arrive. Because many attractions sell out of fastpasses quickly, this is a priority for some folks.

[@AlexAlfieri02]

What if would just want to get a hotel on disney property on a travel website and get the tickets off the disney world website

[@mickeytravelsamber]

alex alfieri You should be able to link those as long as you have the tickets in hand.

[@notbased6720]

Hello, my family and I are planning to go to Disney World in 2017, is September a good month for when it's not packed?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

September has the better discounts but can be crowded near Labor Day

[@iiAngelic]

Is it stressful working as a Disney Agent? Is it a part-time job?

[@mickeytravelsamber]

+Vivi33 This is a part time job for me and can be slightly stressful. I enjoy my job though!

[@joevotto6512]

Is this a full time part time job

[@mickeytravelsamber]

joseph votto I would say it's a full time part time job 😀

[@joevotto6512]

We are a family of 5

[@aimeegamble5963]

hi, what are your social medias

[@mickeytravelsamber]

I have a FB, twitter and Instagram. Those should be linked in the comments of some other videos if you can't find them!

[@dreamsbydesigntravel256]

Please be careful using the term Disney travel planner...agent, etc. This is strictly against the contract we have with Disney and is not allowed and can get your agency in trouble!

[@BernadetteMarieTV]

Are you still a Mickey Travels travel agent?!

[@mickeytravelsamber]

Sure am!

[@nitinjain8837]

Reserve a job there for me when I become adult I will come.
