I want to give my TA a big rap for the effort she is putting in for us so far. I wanted to use a TA from the states for this trip as I'd never done it before, so wanted to see if it added any value. I asked Sandie for a contact as I knew she had used a TA over there in the past, so I contacted her and got things organised (thanks Sandie).
Well so far I had thought that she had done things that we normally did and could do ourselves, so for a while I was questioning whether it was worthwhile in future. But we are now doing dining bookings, and whilst I did WDW on line (how fun is that!
), she has assisted me in such a way that I would never have expected or even asked for.
Jess (that's her name) has also booked the 3 broomsticks breakfast for us and has also recorded my already booked (fun) WDW bookings. But what she has done is taken on the managing of Emily's food allergies with the parks. I know that we can contact the restaurants in advance with the information, but she has done more. She has sourced some great information for us, and she will be contacting each of the venues and making sure the information is with them. I filled out the standard Disney form, and she has committed to ensuring that it is with the right people (her words, gave me confidence for sure). She has definitely gone out of her way to make sure that we can dine and know that Em's needs will also be catered for. There are some other little things she has done as well which has grown my confidence and even relaxed me a little.
I think it's these little things, that when we make arrangements from afar, can be a little harder to control and organise, so I'm starting to come around, and think that using a TA, and a Disney specialist TA at that, may be a good thing, and add value to the process. I have a little more to go, so I'll give an update when I'm finished, but if you're tossing up whether to do it yourself, or use a TA, give it serious thought. It doesn't cost anything extra, and it could give you peace of mind.
