Why You Should Use a Travel Professional to Book Your Next Vacation
December 23, 2025 by Sarah Hillyer
Planning your dream vacation should feel magical, not stressful. While anyone can click a button and book a trip, planning your vacation on your own can lead to hours of research, sifting through hundreds of options online, and missing out on the value, personalization and support that comes from working with a travel professional. That’s where the experts at Be Our Guest Vacations come in! Here’s why trusting your vacation to a professional isn’t just helpful, it’s one of the best decisions you can make when it comes to protecting your investment!
When you work with a Be Our Guest Vacations travel professional, you are not just booking a trip. You are gaining a trusted partner who treats your vacation like it matters, because it does.
We Specialize in (and Actually Visit) the Destinations We Plan
When you work with a travel professional from Be Our Guest Vacations, we’re not just booking from a distance, we’ve been there.
We’ve stayed in the hotels, eaten at the restaurants, experienced the attractions, and lived the guest experience. That firsthand knowledge shapes every recommendation we make.We know what resorts are best for families, which ones are ideal for couples, which cruise staterooms are best, where to eat if you have specific dietary needs, and more! Even better, we use this knowledge to tailor our recommendations to your family’s preferences and your priorities. Nothing is one sized fits all here.

Personalized Recommendations Based on Your Unique Needs
Your Be Our Guest Vacations travel professional will design your trip around you. We get to know you by asking about your travel style: do you want relaxing downtime or a jam-packed adventure? Do you need kid friendly dining options or are you adventurous foodies? Do you want to be in a quiet area of the resort or prefer to be in the heart of the action?
With so many options available, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Our role is to remove that stress by curating a thoughtful selection of options tailored specifically to your needs. Accessibility needs, dietary considerations, mobility concerns, and multi-generational dynamics are never afterthoughts. They are part of the plan from the very beginning. Moreover, we manage all the little details – from transportation and transfers to dining and tickets – so your itinerary feels seamless and stress free!
