What’s it like to work with a travel agent? Who do they think should use the Disney Dining Plan?
I have an interview today with travel agent Cheryl Koren, where she gives her thoughts on that.
I also have a quick tip for on-site guests to make sure they get to make all of their dining reservations 180 days before their trip begins.

Quick tip of the day
For people staying on-site who want to make dining reservations 180 days ahead of time for their whole trip, I recommend logging completely out of the Disney website and then logging back in to make sure the dates for your whole trip are available to you.

This video is amazing! How did he do this? Was it his phone??

I've gotten two conflicting answers to this question, so I'm hoping Shannon can answer it- If I book through a Disney certified Travel Agent, can I book my own ADRs? I have been speaking to an agent who booked my friend's vacation and they loved it! But I do like a bit of control over things and want to make sure that I get the ADRs I want- not sure an agent is willing to get up early enough and log in at the exact 180 days +10 to the minute?! LOL I would feel badly not going through this agent after having talked her quite a few times though.

If I've already booked my trip thru disney could I still switch my reservation to Cheryl?

Hi, Bianca - If you booked within the last 30 days and haven't paid the full balance, you can transfer it to her.
