When I meet with a client for the first time, there is a list of questions that I ask almost immediately. The answers to these key queries will provide the answers to how your family will "see the World."
Question 1: What is your vacation style? Are you a "See-eight-countries-in-four-days" kind of family, or are you more of a "Stop-and-smell-the-roses-and-buy-the-T-shirt" type of crew. The answer to this can determine how many days you'll spend at WDW and what you can expect to see in that time.
Question 2: How many people are in your party, and what ages? Your touring pace will be different with toddlers than with teens. Likewise, single adults will have different priorities than young families. The number of adults and children in your group will also determine the accomodations that are available to you.
Question 3: Are you more concerned with saving money or having a luxury experience? All of Disney's resorts are quality hotels, but there are some obvious differences in amenities. Even though I'm a world-class bargain hunter, there are certain things on which I'm willing to splurge. Knowing a client's budgetary restrictions is key in choosing the right experience for that family.
Question 4: Are your travel dates flexible? It's OK if they aren't. But know that a little flexibility could mean big savings.
Question 5: What are your eating habits? Do you prefer slow, relaxing meals or are you a grab-n-go family? The answer will help us decide which, if any, Disney Dining Plan is right for you.
Question 6: Are you a member of any organization that might offer discounts? Career military, AAA, AARP, Entertainment, government employees, and other groups are sometimes eligible for significant discounts on hotels and even park tickets.
The answers to these key questions inevitably lead to more questions. But that's how we get the ball rolling. Oh, and here's one final question:
In 2009, what will you celebrate?
