Frequently Asked Questions
What agency do you work for?
I work with Pirate and Pixie Dust Destinations, LLC. We are a woman owned, boutique travel agency located in North Carolina. We pride ourselves on attentive service and well designed itineraries.
How long have you been in business?
I started my travel advisor journey in January 2016. I was a nurse for many years and as my travel business grew, my nursing hours decreased. I am now a full time travel advisor and assist people in a new way…planning vacations with their families, friends and loved ones!
What can I expect when working with you?
You can expect attentive service, customized itinerary planning and an advisor that is vested in your vacation experience. In today’s busy times, I give clients the option to set up a discovery phone call or correspond via email. I like to ask the important questions and get to know my clients in order to plan an itinerary that is enjoyable for them. If you prefer to book your vacation with an advisor but do some or most of the planning on your own, that is great too! I am here to assist clients with travel, however that is best suited for them!
What kind of accommodations do you book?
Each destination is unique. Walt Disney World offers over 20 resorts to choose from and offers something for all budgets. For Europe and Tropical Destinations, I only book 4 and 5 star accommodations to ensure that my clients have an enjoyable experience. For Luxury travelers, you are in good hands with worldwide networks that bring you exceptional experiences. And for my US travelers, accommodations are location dependent ~ from National Park lodging to Luxury hotels, I will find the right fit for you.
Do you charge a fee?
For most destinations I do charge a fee. For Disney and Europe, those itineraries are complex and time consuming. I charge a planning fee for my Signature Service Planning for Disney and I charge a research and design fee for my International quotes. With a world of options to choose from, my job is to listen to your requests and then select the right destination, resort, etc and present it to you as a quote. A fee protects my time researching and designing your vacation.
