As one of the original EarMarked travel agency partners with Disney Destinations, Academy Travel has proudly maintained its EarMarked status every year since the program’s inception. Today, the agency holds Diamond-Level Disney EarMarked status—the highest distinction awarded by Disney Destinations—and is among a select few agencies nationwide to achieve this recognition.
As a Diamond-Level Disney EarMarked Agency, Academy Travel offers specialized, in-depth knowledge and personalized services to ensure a seamless and memorable Disney Cruise Line vacation experience, at no extra cost to the client.
- Insider Knowledge and Tips: Our experts offer invaluable insider tips on maximizing the onboard experience, securing popular dining reservations, selecting the best staterooms, and planning port excursions.
- Personalized Planning: Our experts craft custom itineraries tailored to a family’s specific needs, preferences, and budget, handling the minute details like booking flights, accommodations, and transportation.
- Stress-Free Experience: The primary benefit is the removal of planning stress for our members. Agents manage the logistics, monitor for new discounts even after booking, and are available during the trip to handle any issues.
- Cost-Free Service: Our services are free to our members, as the commission is built into the cost by Disney, meaning members pay the same price as booking directly but gain the added value of expert assistance.
.Our team of specialized Disney Cruise Line travel agents within the agency are highly specialized in areas such as concierge staterooms, specific itineraries, family trips, adults-only trips, and travel with special needs or food allergies.
At Academy Travel, our mission is simple: to provide every client with the highest level of service, value, and care. We can’t wait to help you plan your next magical destination vacation soon.
