Summary

Lyndsay and Angie join us this week to discuss the importance of using a qualified travel agent when booking travel. Lyndsay found herself in a difficult situation with a travel agent that had booked her family's first Disney Cruise. Enter Angie, our super hero from our show sponsor, My Path Unwinding Travel. Not only did Angie lend Lyndsay a hand in working with her existing agent, she seemlessly rebooked Lyndsay and her family on their DCL sailing when things weren't getting better. What should you look for in a good travel agent? Come find out! If you want to join the DCL Duo Inaugural Podcast Cruise aboard the Disney Magic for her three-night sailing on June 19, 2024 from Ft.

0:00.0	There's a good portion of our audience who's probably listening to this going on.
0:02.7	Just do it all myself. Like, what do I need a travel agent for to begin with? Like, all of this concierge stuff is interesting, but that's really complicated. I'm just going on a regular old Disney cruise. So why do I need a travel agent? I will just put in a plug. My favorite thing about having a travel agent is I don't have to sit on hold with Disney ever. It has a huge bonus for me.
0:39.1	Welcome back, everybody to this week's bonus episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by My Path Unwinding Travel. And Sam, we actually have an agent from My Path Unwinding Travel with us today in addition to a fabulous guest. You want to
0:43.3	introduce the folks that we have joining us today for a really fun topic? Yes, I am super excited
0:48.8	to have one returning guest join us, although as we were talking about off the air, I actually wasn't on
0:55.2	the episode that she was on. It was just you and she, Brian. And of course, one other guest
1:01.7	with us as well. So I'd love to welcome to the show, Angie from my path unwinding travel.
1:06.9	And Lindsay, welcome, ladies. Hi. Thank you so much for having us. Yeah, we're so excited to have
1:12.7	you guys on here to talk about using a travel advisor for Disney Cruise Line. And so before we,
1:21.5	of course, dive into that topic and get to the nitty gritty, we've got to ask your cruising
1:26.7	and Disney Creds. Angie, I know you've
1:29.2	been on the show before, but why don't you remind folks of your background, what you do for a living,
1:34.6	of course, you've been on. Yeah, so I am advisor with my path on winding travel and I actually came
1:41.7	upon that path because our leader, Karen, was my travel agent when I started
1:46.7	booking Disney Cruise Line vacations and needed some help.
1:49.4	So she was really the pathway to learning more about Disney Cruise Line.
1:54.9	And then also through what I learned, through my experience, through my now thankfully 12 cruises
2:00.3	that I have been on with Disney
2:01.5	Cruise Line and finally passed that platinum. Then they moved that end zone on me out of
2:07.0	throw, but that's okay. So through that then, too, I also was able to join the planned Disney panel
2:12.7	in 2019 and 2020. So I really got an opportunity to learn really the insides and outs of Disney cruising.
2:19.9	And I've been on all five ships. I've been Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska. So all of those really
