What every plan includes.
Discovery Briefing
A 30–45 minute call to understand who is traveling, what kind of trip you actually want, and what your party will remember. The brief becomes the foundation of every plan I write.
The 3-2-1 Itinerary
A written, day-by-day, named-attraction schedule built using the proprietary 3-2-1 Method. Every park day has three rides, two shows or characters, and one table-service meal — placed against Lightning Lane drop windows and the day's parade and fireworks schedule.
Resort & Room Selection
I name the resort, I name the building, and where it matters I name the side of the floor. The recommendation includes a Value, a Moderate, and a Deluxe option with the available offers applied to each — so you can decide on a real comparison, not a brochure.
Dining Strategy
Dining priorities ranked, the 60-day reservation window booked by phone the morning it opens, and a tactical plan for the food-and-wine and festival days that benefit from queue strategy. Lightning Lane Multi Pass coaching, since that one stays in your hands.
What I will not do.
Because the line matters.
Flights.
Airlines no longer pay travel-agent commissions. My host agency does not allow agents to book flights. You will book your own flights directly. I will tell you which airport, which arrival window, and how to plan around your flight day.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass on the day of.
Lightning Lane requires the live use of your My Disney Experience app on the morning of your park day. That has to stay in your hands. I will not ask for your login. I will teach you how to use it.
Tickets for active-duty military, retirees, and 100% disabled veterans.
I will recommend purchasing tickets directly through Shades of Green. The military rate available to you is materially better than what I can offer through commercial channels, and I am not permitted to book through Shades of Green on your behalf.
Pretending to be Disney.
I am not affiliated with The Walt Disney Company. Patrick Bain Travels is brought to you by Gateway Travel. The wall between agency and Disney is real, and I respect it.
