Marion DeMaria at Ears of experience is beyond exceptional and is now my go-to for vacation planning. Marion helped us plan a very special multi-birthday vacation at Disney World and the results were far beyond what I could have hoped. She listened carefully to our special needs, made sure she understood what we expected to get out of the trip, and helped us plan almost all aspects, making sure that we were happy and confident that the surprise vacation would be memorable. She found us great accommodations, made arrangements for meals, scheduled and reserved seats for attractions, and kept in contact with us whenever we had questions - both before and during our trip. Marion is a true professional who obviously understands travel planning but it was her awareness and understanding of Disney World itself that set her apart. Marion planned our itinerary to minimize wait times (maximizing all of the Disney "wow") but, almost more importantly, seemed to know the dynamics of the parks themselves, recommending intermediate stops because traffic would be lighter and lines shorter at particular times, and recommending what would otherwise have been overlooked gems. The planning was fluid, not forced, and allowed for plenty of free exploration time as well as itinerary changes. Marion DeMaria and Ears of Experience helped turn a set of milestone events into something beyond simply special. It was an amazing trip filled with great memories. It was almost as if we were part of her family and took responsibility to make everything unforgettable. I can't thank Marion (and Ears of Experience) enough and we will be back again. Highly recommended. read more

Ears of Experience truly helped plan a magical vacation for my family. Our agent really listened to what my family wanted and helped plan according to that. She was able to secure all of the reservations we wanted, even the highly popular Be our Guest and Cinderella's Royal table! Through her 'magic', everyone from Bippity Boppity Boutique to the restaurants knew it was my daughter's birthday and helped her celebrate. Our agent was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Disney; from the resorts, to dining and memory maker, all of my questions were answered. She kept us informed of upcoming deadlines and automatically applied new discounted rates when they came out. The itinerary and the tips and tricks handout were a valuable tool in my family's plans for the day. There was a lot of good information within them. I will absolutely use Ears of Experience again on our next Disney trip. read more

We "planned" our first Disney vacation ourselves, and yes, we made it through, but the next time around we decided to let the experts guide us. After much internet research we settled on Ears of Experience and what a major difference it was for our trip. We have fun taking part in the planning but knowing how meticulous our parks plans would be, the fact that whenever I had a question I was able to talk directly to my travel planner, not be placed on hold, and I also knew that if we needed her while we were in the parks, she would be available - for no additional fees!! When taking a specialty vacation, such as to Disney, you really want that invaluable expert help, tips, and magical extras that come along with working with a professional Disney travel planner. We love Ears and will always use them and refer to them! read more

We were very happy with Alyssa from Ears of Experience. We ended up doing all of the dining reservations and fast passes ourselves, but only because I wanted to be in control of the exact timing of things, and I had input from other friends who know my children well and what they would like. And I knew I would be modifying things. But Alyssa's recommendations and tips & tricks were invaluable to be able to experience all that we could with minimal wait times. We went at a moderately busy time of year and rarely had to wait for anything, and I believe it was a result of the planning we did with her recommendations. And she was also valuable in answering all my questions in a timely fashion. We were not crazy about the Disney dining plan, but that was due to our personal family preferences. read more

When we were booking a trip with a military discount for the first time, and we decided to use Ears of Experience based on some great recommendations. I grew up going to Disney, and thought I knew the ins and outs of a great trip, boy was I wrong. Going to Walt Disney World had always been fun, but I had no idea we were missing out on so many experiences. Thanks to the great tips and tricks from the Ears of Experience crew, we were able to explore and experience new things at the parks that I had no idea about before. The dining reservations they got for us were incredible, and made the trip even more memorable for our entire family. Everyone we spoke to was incredibly helpful, and we really felt that the vacation was tailored to our families style. Best of all, the service is free! read more

I had so much going on when my family and I started thinking about a Disney vacation. I just didn't have the time or thorough experience to handle all the big and small details. I heard of Stacie at Ears of Experience from friends so I gave her a call. After completing an extensive questionnaire stating our preferences, she created the best plan with a four-day park hopper, dining plan and hotel reservations to fit our budget and our fast pass must do's. She was so flexible and made it so easy when we found out more family was joining us and we needed to up our reservations. I'm thankful for the stress-free plan, expert tips and the daily strategic agenda Stacie put together. We made so many great memories! Highly recommend! read more

Our latest vacation to WDW was everything we wished for and was primarily due to the excellent Ears of Experience agent help we got from Kari Baer. Trying to orchestrate the wants and desires of 10 people at different ages can be overwhelming, but her experience and personalized planning and advise for all of us made it the most memorable of our previous 6 or 7 visits to WDW. Table dining selections were wonderful and gave us the relaxation and enjoyment we needed during our busy week. We were all tired and worn out after our full week of fun and enjoyment, but that is what happens at WDW with so much to see and do. We loved WDW again with many memories captured on Memory Maker. Thanks Kari for a wonderful vacation. read more

I'm a planner. I research everything I do and don't do anything I haven't throughly checked out. So when I took my daughter to Disney for the first time, I thought I had it all in line. It was a good trip, but I missed so much. When it came time for my next trip, a friend recommended I call Ears of Experience since it didn't cost me any more than booking myself and I would have a team helping me with my plan. I was shocked at how much more we were able to accomplish on this trip, plus I was more relaxed because I didn't have to constantly look up the changing Disney information. Thank you Amy and your team for helping my vacation actually be a vacation and allowing me to enjoy my time with my family. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Ears of Experience to plan a stress-free Disney vacation for my family and I. It was our first trip with our son and we joined other family members from out of state. Every detail was taken care of and the over-the-top personalized itinerary each family received in the mail made the countdown to out vacation even more exciting! All dinner reservations were made for us and we received daily plans and tips on how to maximize our time in each park. I highly recommend Ears of Experience. They are knowledgable in all things Disney and I would not hesitate having them plan a magical vacation for us again read more

We used Ears of Experience to book our trip to Disney based on a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. Our agent, Heather, was able to set us up with a room at a great military rate that was not even advertised to us. She also helped us hook up with the Disney Express bus, setup dining, and walked us through getting our military park tickets, even though she could not purchase them for us. She also notified us of other offers available to us. When we had questions/requests even while on our vacation Heather was available to assist. I would absolute recommend EoE to anyone looking to plan a trip to Disney. read more

We received great service from our agent, Jen Novak. We had 3 families going with family members ranging in ages 2 to 79, so it was a bit stressful trying to figure it all out. She answered all our questions and was so helpful as we made our plans. She handled booking our dining reservations on Christmas Eve when our reservation window opened so I didn't have to! And I think she was traveling at the time and did it while at the airport. Jen even called right before our trip to make sure we were all set to go and answered texts while we were on our trip! Really great service. I would definitely recommend. read more

I used Ear of Experience to help me plan 3 of my trips to Disney (including my daughter's first trip when she turned 2). As a military family, it was important for me to find someone who knew about all of the promotions. I was so excited to get my packet in the mail (my mom and aunt each got one as well). Amy and her staff are amazing. They made all of our dining reservations for us, helped us with tips and tricks and were there every step of the way. Disney is such a a magical place, and having someone who knows Disney is important. :) read more

Ears of experience saved my party money and time planning for this vacation of a life time. They made this trip so easy with better rates than Disney offered and making reservations to places they know that are yummy. They did the itinerary for the parks and broke down where and when to get everywhere. Which was nice because if you followed their itinerary, you where able to ride all the busy rides before other vacationers showed up to the park. I would definitely recommend them to others and use their services again in the future. read more

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I hit the jackpot when I reached out to Ears of Experience. I had no idea what to do, where to go, or how to start. I haven't been to Disney since I was a kid. The lady explained my options, chose a resort that fit our budget, made dining recommendations, then the actual reservations for me. I knew what the rides did before I got there (I a little uncomfortable on certain types) so I knew what to avoid. Best decision I could have made, and I was planning the next trip on the plane home! Thanks Ears! read more

Heather Hennessy from Ears of Experience helped make our Disney vacation better than we could have imagined. From the beginning of our booking all the way through our trip, Heather was there with helpful tips and advice. She made what could have been a very overwhelming planning process easy and stress free. All of her suggestions from rides my daughters would like to what time to get to each park and where to go for meals were perfect. We will never plan another Disney trip without Heather's help! read more

Ears of Experience was great! It helped us in planning before and during our vacation. our agent answered questions and helped when we had to cancel a fast pass during our stay. This was a huge help traveling with two sons, my husband, and my elderly mom. Our agent helped in planning an agenda for us that worked out so everyone had a good time and we were not totally wore out each day! I highly recommend this service to anyone planning a vacation to Disney! Thanks, Francee read more

We had an amazing trip thanks to agent Somer Leader and all of her professionalism throughout the planning process. She happily guided us through each step and made it easy for us to customize our trip to suit our needs/wants. Each detail was simple to plan and Somer made it a fun experience instead of a daunting task. She even made herself available to assist us during our trip to make sure everything ran smoothly. We can't wait to plan our next Disney trip soon! read more

If you are planning any type of Disney experience, I highly recommend using Ears of Experience. My rep, Carolyn Holst, has been amazing at every step of the process. I told her what we wanted as a family and she made it happen. She does all the legwork with scheduling the resorts, the experiences, the restaurants and then they sent me a package with detailed explanations as to how to make everything work easily. You cannot go wrong with Carolyn or Ears. read more

We used EOE and agent Melissa Dearman - great experience! Helped us get dining reservations when/where we wanted them. She also took over booking other activities - rental cart @ Cabins, photo pass, etc. She was available and proactive in reaching out to us with plans, suggestions, etc - but not too much; just right! Made our time commitment to managing the trip much less than if we went solo. read more
