Walt Disney World

Book this trip

But let’s be honest— planning a Disney World trip can be overwhelming. Between park reservations, Lightning Lanes, Genie+, dining reservations, and special events, it’s easy to feel lost before you even arrive. That’s where we come in.

Why Plan with The Plan Away

We’re Tim and Janele , a husband-and-wife team who’ve spent years helping families plan unforgettable Disney vacations. We know the parks inside and out—because we visit them ourselves multiple times a year. We’ve tested the resorts, the restaurants, the rides, and yes, even the best snack routes through Epcot.

When you plan with The Plan Away , you decide how hands-on or hands-off you want to be. Want us to take care of everything from resort bookings to park strategies and dining reservations? We’ve got it.

Prefer to handle most of it but need expert advice and a few insider tips? We’re here for that too.

And here’s the best part— our services are completely free. Disney pays us, not you. You get our knowledge, our experience, and our full support at no extra cost.

Why Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner

Using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner can take the stress out of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. The process is complicated—especially for first-timers. We simplify it by:

Even Disney regulars forget how many moving parts go into planning a smooth trip. Thanks to years of experience, we know the ins and outs—from booking hard-to-get dining to maximizing Genie+ and avoiding crowds like pros.

Frequently asked questions

Can you combine Universal with Disney or other destinations?

Definitely. Many of our clients love pairing Universal with a Disney trip, A Cruise or adding beach time before or after the parks. We’ll build a full itinerary that connects your destinations smoothly so you can enjoy everything without the travel-day stress.

What if a new discount comes out after I’ve booked?

No worries! We constantly monitor promotions and price drops from our travel partners. If a new deal becomes available that applies to your reservation, we’ll rebook or adjust it so you get the best possible rate. You don’t have to lift a finger—we’ll handle everything and make sure you never miss out on savings.

Do I have to give up control if I book through you?

Not at all. Think of us as your travel partners, not people who take over your plans. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. Some of our clients love to be involved in every detail, while others prefer to let us handle everything from start to finish—it’s totally up to you. When you book with us, you still have full access to your reservations, payments, and trip details. We simply make the process smoother, help you avoid common mistakes, and use our experience to unlock extra perks and savings along the way. You stay in control, but with expert support right beside you.

Do you help with group travel?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a family reunion, friends’ getaway, business, school group, or destination celebration, we handle all the logistics so everyone can just show up and enjoy. We’ll coordinate rooms, dining, payments, and itineraries so your group stays organized and stress-free. You’ll have one point of contact (us!) to make sure every detail is covered.

Will you help with dining reservations?

Yes! From character breakfasts to fine dining at the parks, we’ll help you get the experiences that matter most to you.

Can you help if I’ve already booked my Disney trip?

Absolutely! If your reservation was made within the last 30 days and isn’t fully paid, we can transfer it and manage everything for you. Just visit our Transfer Your Disney Vacation page.
