Good questions
Questions families ask us
Why do you call yourselves travel advisors specializing in Disney rather than Disney travel agents?
That's a wonderful question, and there's a very important reason behind the distinction! At Wind Waves and Wands Vacations, we're proud to be an independent travel agency specializing in Disney vacations, but we don't work for Disney, and we're not owned or operated by Disney.
Our travel advisors work for our agency, and most importantly, we work for you, our guests! Being independent means we can take the time to get to know your family, understand your vacation dreams and offer personalized recommendations based on what matters most to you.
While Disney destinations are a very special part of what we do, our expertise doesn't stop at the magic of Disney. We also help families, couples and groups explore incredible destinations around the world, from ocean cruises and all-inclusive resorts to European adventures and beyond.
So while Disney is one of our specialties, creating travel experiences that become favourite memories is our purpose. And wherever your dreams take you, you'll always have our Ohana by your side.
Does using a Wind Waves and Wands travel advisor cost anything?
One of the nicest surprises about planning your vacation with Wind Waves and Wands Vacations is that our personalized Disney vacation planning services come at no additional cost to you! When you book a Disney vacation with one of our experienced travel advisors, Disney pays our agency a commission. That means you can enjoy our knowledge, guidance and thoughtful planning support without paying an additional planning fee.
From helping you choose the right resort or cruise to sharing our favourite tips and answering those little questions that pop up along the way, we're here to make planning feel exciting rather than overwhelming.
And the best part? You're not just making a booking. You're becoming part of our Ohana, where you'll have someone who genuinely cares about your vacation experience. For travel arrangements or services that do not pay commission, any applicable service fees will always be discussed with you in advance.
Will booking with you cost more than booking directly with Disney?
Absolutely not for the same Disney vacation booking! Our Disney vacation planning services are complimentary, so you don't pay extra simply because you've chosen to work with one of our advisors. We can help you explore Disney's available offers, compare vacation options and find the experience that offers the best value for your family.
And because we're Canadian too, we understand the additional considerations that come with planning a Disney vacation from Canada, including exchange rates, travel documents, flights and budgeting.
But here's what we think makes the biggest difference: you have a real person in your corner. Someone who gets to know your family, understands what's important to you and is there to help before, during and after your vacation.
Prices and promotions are subject to availability and Disney's terms. Equivalent bookings must be compared using the same dates, inclusions and conditions. Canadian pricing is provided as a comparison only and may fluctuate with the exchange rate. Booking a Disney or Universal vacation is always completed in USD.
What is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and a Disney EarMarked Gold agency?
We're so glad you asked, because these designations are something we're incredibly proud of!
An Authorized Disney Vacation Planner is an independent travel agency recognized by Disney for its knowledge and experience in planning Disney vacations. Disney's EarMarked program recognizes qualifying agencies that demonstrate a commitment to Disney vacation planning, and Gold is one of the recognition levels within this program.
For our guests, these designations reflect our dedication to helping families experience the magic of Disney with knowledgeable, caring guidance. But while recognition is wonderful, what matters most to us is how we make our guests feel: welcomed, heard, supported and genuinely cared for. That's the Ohana difference.
Can you help plan vacations for travellers with disabilities, autism, mobility needs, food allergies or other accessibility requirements?
Absolutely! Accessibility and inclusion are especially close to our hearts. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore the world and create favourite memories.
We're especially proud of our dedicated team of travel advisors who specialize in accessible and inclusive travel. Our Ohana includes advisors who live with disabilities themselves, parents and caregivers of children with diverse needs, social workers, nurses, a Professor of Occupational Therapy who helps review special circumstances, and advisors experienced with food allergies and dietary restrictions.
Every traveller is unique, and accessibility is never one-size-fits-all. We can help with researching accessibility options, exploring available accommodations, understanding Disney's published accessibility resources and identifying questions to ask Disney directly. While accessibility arrangements depend on each travel provider, we'll help you navigate the options with care, honesty and respect.
Because at Wind Waves and Wands Vacations, inclusion isn't an afterthought. It's part of who we are.
Why should I book my Disney vacation with Wind Waves and Wands Vacations instead of planning it myself?
While you can absolutely plan and book your own Disney vacation, having someone in your corner who knows Disney and genuinely cares about your experience can make all the difference! With so many choices, from resorts and dining to attractions, cruise itineraries and special experiences, planning can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. That's where our Ohana comes in!
We're Disney enthusiasts, experienced travellers, mothers, friends and daughters who have walked in your shoes. In fact, many of our travel advisors started their journey with Wind Waves and Wands Vacations as guests themselves, and loved it so much that they eventually became part of our team.
Here's what makes planning with our Ohana different:
- Personalized care: we take the time to get to know you, your family and what makes a vacation special to you.
- An advisor who understands your needs: we strive to match you with an advisor whose knowledge and experience best suit your vacation dreams.
- Firsthand experience: our team includes passionate Disney travellers, experienced cruisers and even former Disney Cast Members.
- Less stress, more excitement: we help you navigate the details so you can focus on making memories.
- Support beyond the booking: we're here to help before, during and after your vacation.
- No additional planning fee for eligible Disney bookings: you receive our personalized planning services without paying extra for that assistance.
We're independent travel advisors. We don't work for Disney. We work for you. At Wind Waves and Wands Vacations, we create travel experiences that become favourite memories, and we'd love to help you create yours.
