As I was looking into a Disney World vacation for a local family, I was shocked at how limited the availability was for February during school-vacation week in 2023. No matter how many times I refreshed the page, nada. 2023 seems so far away, but is it? Not when it comes to planning a vacation! March of 2020 brought a halt to travel, and now it is getting a breath of life again. Travel right now is surging as many countries and most recently cruise lines have loosened their restrictions. I am hungry for a vacation, you are hungry for a vacation. Americans are starving for a vacation. What can you do to assure you get the accommodations you want at the price point you desire? Get moving. 

Plan:

Have a family meeting and look at the school calendar. Want a quick trip? Maybe a cruise is your best bet. There are so many incredible places to visit in this beautiful world. Decide where and when you may want to travel. 

Budget:

Since you’re planning in advance, it will give you a leg up on the savings-game. With many vacations, all you need in a small deposit and you can pay the remaining amount, interest-free, over time. Think of it like a built-in piggy bank with the gift of time. 

Use a Travel Agent:

The use of a Travel Agent is 100% free and can be extremely helpful to enhancing your special vacation. Using a Travel Agent is like having a fun coach to get you across that finish line. 

You know how the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. If you think you want to travel in 2023 or 2024, better get moving sooner rather than later.
