# Main Street and More Travel ## Posts - [So You Want to Be a "Disney" Travel Agent? Here’s What You Need to Know.](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/sellingdisneytravel/):   One of the funniest things I hear (okay, aggravating) is when I mention that I’m a travel agent and people say “Oh, they still have those?” Why, yes they do. In fact, travel agents are such an important part of the planning process that nearly every travel company and destination pays travel agents a commission for their work. The reality is you’ll actually pay that commission whether you use a travel agent or not! In the last decade, we’ve seen a lot of newer agents and potential agents interested in planning Disney vacations and I think there are a… - [Lightning Lanes Mean Less Stress, More Fun.](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/lightning-lanes-mean-less-stress-more-fun/): A trip to Walt Disney World is often a dream come true for families, friends, and couples who plan their magical vacations. But with that dream comes the reality of long lines and busy parks, especially during the peak seasons. Thankfully, Disney offers a solution designed to make park experiences smoother and more efficient called Lightning Lanes, which I highly recommend you use during your magical stay. Lightning Lanes are an additional purchase that can be made for your vacation. If they fit your budget, they can be such a great add-on to your trip optimizing your time spent in… - [Why Now is the Time to Visit Universal Orlando Resort](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/now-is-the-time-to-visit-universal/): [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”78″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_outline”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””] If you haven’t visited the Universal Orlando Resort (UOR) recently, you’re missing out.  In the 35 years since they opened, they’ve gone from being a single park to a multi-day destination comprising four, soon to be five, theme parks.  Even if you visited in the past few years, they continue to add new hotels and attractions.  In May, they’ll be adding their fourth theme park, Epic Universe, which just reinforces UOR as one of the best travel destinations for family fun. You may ask, “What makes it so great?” State of the art attractions Harry Potter Great… - [Congratulations to Our Winner of the Disney VIP Contest!](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/disneyvip/): [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”646″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_outline”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] We love a good contest and what better way to reward a great agent than a Disney VIP tour? If you haven’t heard about Disney’s personalized VIP tours, they’re just about the best thing since sliced bread–maybe better. You’ll meet your guide, a Disney expert, and then take private Disney transportation (or meet your guide in the park to save time) backstage to the park of your choice. Ride whatever you like, as many times as you like–you’ve got front of the line access for everything. Plus, all Disney nerds are going to thrill… - [Our Five Favorite Travel Agent Tips](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/our-five-favorite-travel-agent-tips/): [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”78″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_outline”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] With over 75 agents and many years of travel planning among us, we’ve learned a thing or two about saving money and maximizing your vacation experience, so it’s hard to narrow down our favorite tips, but here are our top five (at the moment!) travel secrets: 1. ALWAYS check to see if bundling your air with your hotel/resort will save you money. Companies often buy “bulk” air from airlines that’s available to you if you book a package with them.

Why would they want to be surrounded by kids on an adult vacation? they ask. Well, the fact is, DCL is so much more than just a kid-friendly cruise line. It’s great food, fun for grownups, and exciting destinations. If you need to change your mind, read on. We’ve got five things that make Disney Cruise Line fun for grown ups too:  Great Food.

The reality is, there’s no “best first time” to visit. Instead, there are a lot of factors that come into play that determine whether or not making that first trip is right for your family.

Normally, we don’t recommend park hoppers for first timers, especially first timers traveling with younger children, however there are a lot of reasons a guest might want to override that recommendation. Let’s explore the pros and cons of park-hopping. For newer guests, park hopping allows you to “hop” from park to park each day instead of staying in one park, the way you would with a “base” ticket. The price of the hopper is… ## Pages - [Getting Started](https://mainstreetandmoretravel.com/getting-started/): [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”532″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] For Our Clients Thank you for booking your vacation with Main Street and More Travel and trusting us with your plans.
