𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭!
I always book my Disney and Universal trips with a travel agent!
Here’s why:
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞
A great agent is up to date on any recent changes! Things like Park Reservations, the replacements to Disney’s Magical Express, the Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lans systems, or anything else that may have changed since your last visit.

𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐫 𝐀𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐀𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭!
The best agents will be with you from the early planning stages until the day you get back home. They’ll offer to wake up early to help you make dining reservations, set up payments towards your trip balance (like lay-away for your vacation), call Disney/Universal for you so you don’t have to wait on hold, inform Disney/Universal of any food allergies or special celebrations, and so much more! You can still do all of this yourself if you book with an agent, but you have the option of letting a pro do it for you.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞… 𝐎𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫!
Travel agents get paid commission for helping you plan your happiest memories. So at most agencies, their services are free! And they constantly monitor discount offers, so if your already-booked vacation is eligible, they’ll apply any available offers towards your booking. Some agents will offer additional services for a nominal fee, but they’ll always inform you of those options up front, before you commit to anything.

𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
When you book your trip by yourself on a website, Disney or Universal is getting 100% of your money. When you book with an agent, you’re helping the economy, by supporting a small business.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞
Here’s the untold secret about the travel industry: nobody is getting filthy rich by planing your Disney or Universal vacations. Travel agents who specialize in that kind of travel do it because they love it! They get to know you and your family. They learn your preferences and watch your children grow. Nothing makes them happier than knowing that they get to be a part of helping you to create your happiest memories!

Support small businesses.
Support your local travel agent.
If you have a travel agent that you love and would recommend, please tag them in the comments! Or if you’re a travel agent who is currently accepting new clients, you are welcome to tag your own page.

Walt’s final days included visits from his immediate family members and a bit of optimism hours before his death

By Leo N. Holzer,
with some information from Bob Thomas’ biography, “Walt Disney: An American Original” — a must-read for Disney fans, with a commemorative Disney100 reprint now widely available featuring introductions by Walt’s grandson Christopher Miller and Disney historian/author Jeff Kurtti.

Once, when I talked to Ron Miller, he recalled Walt proudly introducing him as his son to one of the nurses looking after him.

Ron also told me that Walt was cheered by a note he received from actor John Wayne welcoming the studio chief to the “one lung club” telling him that he had adjusted well to post-surgical life.

Walt’s brother Roy brought him updates of studio and Imagineering activities, although Walt was pretty insistent that the Pirates of the Caribbean wasn’t yet ready for Disneyland.

Ron also talked shop with Walt — as he was wanted to know how things were going at the studio.

Ron told him that “Follow Me, Boys” was doing good business at New York’s Radio City Music Hall and that people were anxiously awaiting his return.

According to Walt’s biography by Bob Thomas, “small things pleased him, as when Diane brought a basket of delicacies (to his hospital room).

“Walt enjoyed the visits with his family, but at times he seemed to seek solitude — as if he didn't want (his wife) Lilly and (his daughters) to see him in such pain.

“He grew weaker, and the drugs sometimes made him confused.
‘Don't be late for the plane,’ he said to Sharon for no reason at all …

“His sixty-fifth birthday fell on December 5, but he was too ill for any observance. His strength continued to wane, and his voice became weak and raspy. “

But, “on the afternoon of December 14, Lilly visited him and she telephoned Diane later to say, ‘Oh, he's so much better. He got out of bed. He kept putting his arms around me, and his grip was so strong. I know he's going to get well. I know he's going to be all right.’

“Roy visited him that evening, and Walt seemed weak but lucid.

“The two brothers talked quietly about company matters, and Walt was intent on discussing Disney World and EPCOT. …

“Roy, too, was encouraged by Walt's appearance, and he remarked to (his wife) Edna that night that he thought Walt had a good chance to recover.

“Walt Disney died at nine-thirty the next morning of an acute circulatory collapse (according to the death certificate).”
