Welcome to Once Upon A Time Vacations

In today’s always connected world, booking a vacation seems easy. You can use a number of websites or even call a supplier directly. While that may work for some, what many quickly realize is they may have questions or changes after booking a trip and no one to help them get a quick or easy answer. What if the pictures on those websites aren’t exactly what they seem, someone falls ill before or during a vacation, prices drop or a new promotion is released?  A trip to Walt Disney World, for example, involves 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, an entertainment and shopping district, 26 resorts and over 130 dining options.  Where do you begin?  It is for those reasons and many more that many are turning to travel consultants for their help and expertise. We have the experience and knowledge to help plan the perfect vacation taking care of even the smallest detail to make each vacation a dream come true.

Disney Parks And Resorts​

When Disneyland opened in 1955, people thought it would never succeed.  Boy, were they wrong!!  Within its first year, everyone knew Disneyland was something special. ​

Universal Resorts

Universal Parks and Resorts in Orlando and Hollywood are known for rides and attractions based on famous classic and modern films and pop culture.  Where else can you explore Harry Potter's Diagon Alley and take the train to Hogwarts?

​​Aulani Resort and Spa

Built on its own cove, this gorgeous resort has stunning pools, restaurants, a relaxing spa and a kids club.  Disney even worked closely with the people of Hawaii to create a unique culturally based story just for Aulani.

Why Use a Travel Agent Who Specializes in Disney Destinations?

Planning a vacation, especially a Disney vacation, can be overwhelming! Not only are there numerous components of the vacation itself, but suddenly all your friends are there to offer their advice on what worked for their family. But, your trip is unique! What was right for them, may not be right for you. This is where we come in. Our advisors are highly trained and will take the time to get to know what is important to you and your party for your vacation.

We guide our guests through the process, offering expert advice along the way. From choosing the right resort and tickets, booking dining reservations and making FastPass selections, to making sure you know about all the additional offerings such as event tickets, dessert parties and special experiences we are with you every step of the way. The best part? Our concierge-level planning services are provided to our guests at absolutely no cost! You will pay the same price you would by booking direct! Talk about added value! Here are just 5 reasons why you should book your next Theme Park or Family vacation with Once Upon a Time Vacations, LLC.
Knowledgeable Trained Experts Our advisors specialize in Disney Parks and Cruises, Universal Vacations, and numerous other cruise and family travel destinations. They have not only graduated from the College of Disney Knowledge and Universal training courses, but they hold advanced training certificates from suppliers such as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Beaches Resorts, Hard Rock Resorts, and many more. Most importantly, they have personal experience in these destinations, visiting with their own families as well as participating in on-site training. They keep up with the latest news on what’s coming, what’s new and what is under refurbishment. .  
Save Time and Reduce Stress Designing your dream vacation is hard! Sure, you can read all the blogs and books, ask your friends and community about their experiences, and spend countless hours researching online, but who has time for that! In the end, the one thing you will learn is that everyone has their own opinions, based on what worked or didn’t work for them, and you will likely be more confused now than you were when you started. Our advisors can provide you with the information you need, tailored to you, that will help you decide what is best for your family.
Save Money It is a common belief that using a travel advisor is more expensive than booking on your own. This, however, is 100% false. The price you pay is the same whether you book with our agency or direct through the supplier.  In fact, using a travel advisor can actually SAVE you money!  For example, throughout the year Disney will release promotions that can be applied to a reservation already booked. Your travel advisor will be on the phone (often for hours) as soon as the promotion is released to have it applied to eligible bookings - often saving the client hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars in the process.
Added Value and Concierge Planning Service Our advisors won’t just help you determine the best resort or destination for your family, they will also assist you with additional planning components.  These range from dining reservations at several destinations including Disney and Universal Parks, to FastPass reservations at Walt Disney World, port experiences for cruises, and many more! For theme park destinations, they can provide daily park itineraries to help you maximize your time, help with stroller and electric scooter rentals, grocery deliveries and more. Most importantly, our travel advisors works for you. They can do as much or as little as you wish! Whether you’re a planner who likes to have full control of your trip, want to sit back and let someone else worry about all the details, or you fall somewhere in between that’s fine! Just think of your travel advisors as your personal expert, available to answer any questions as they come up!
Single Point of Contact and Emergency Contact/Personal Advocate During Travel When you book direct with practically any supplier and call in for assistance, you speak with a different operator each time and these operators are often limited in how much information and guidance they can provide. When you work with us, not only will you establish a personal relationship with your advisor, but you’ll have a single point of contact to answer all of your questions and address your concerns. ​

As much as we don’t want to believe it, things can happen during travel that can make your trip less than magical. Whether it is a broken faucet in your room or an illness or injury, your travel advisor will be there to work with you or, when necessary, fight for you to make the situation right. Try getting that level of service from someone when you book direct or online.
