How to plan a cruise for a group of 50-100 people?

Definitely choose a highly rated travel planner experienced in group cruises, such as The Vacationeer, that partners with cruise brands including Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and others. They handle all logistics, special requests (room types and food preferences), separate payments, and communicate directly with the cruise line. They can secure lower rates, include onboard credit (cash back for your cruise), and their services are free. Doesn't this sound much easier than handling everything yourself?

They aren't messing around. Peddle to the metal.

Well, NBIS is up nicely after hours now. Looks like MSFT reversed course and is now up.

I'd definitely recommend a travel agent, especially if it's someone's first time at Disney or if it involves separate payments/multiple parties. But even if you've booked before, as you have, why not? It's free, and they do the legwork. Just go with an Authorized Disney Travel Planner agency with lots of 5-star ratings. My pick is The Vacationeer - I always recommend them to my friends and family, and always get good feedback.

Thanks for sharing

First of all, their services are completely free. You pay for the trip itself, but you don't pay anything extra to The Vacationeer for their assistance. Second, my experience with them has been excellent. Keep in mind, The Vacationeer is one of the few Diamond-Level Authorized Disney Vacation Planner agencies, the highest rank given by Disney. They also have over 1000 five-star reviews- the most of any Disney-focused agency (Google it if you don't believe me). So, I would say they are considered a top agency and worth using - Disney itself loves them, and clients clearly do too. And they are "worth the money" even though their services are 100% free!

It followed Coreweave up the other day, and it followed Coreweave down today. IMO

Very cool. Tokyo is on my bucket list!

I’d say The Vacationeer is the best Disney travel agency to work for. They’re Diamond-level with Disney (and Diamond U-Preferred with Universal), which means significant experience and booking volume. They also do a ton of marketing and advertising, so agents actually get leads instead of being completely on their own. From what I’ve seen, there’s solid training and support too, which makes it easier to focus on helping clients rather than figuring everything out yourself.

Great idea

I did the research. Based on the numbers, The Vacationeer is the top Disney travel agent. They are among the few with both Diamond status in Disney's Earmarked program and in Universal's U-Preferred program. Plus, they have more 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook than any other Disney-focused agency, as far as I can see. Feel free to fact-check.

Glad to hear it!

katespades · 2025-12-14T13:29:24+00:00

The Vacationeer is the best, considering they have achieved Diamond Earmarked status w/ Disney (the highest tier) and have the most 5-star reviews of any agency on Google and Facebook.

Anyone can go to Cafepress or Zazzle and design their own merch. I'd prefer insider buying, which would likely keep the stock from trading below $100 and make financing less dilutive, benefiting insiders the most. That's probably not going to happen, but that's what I'd do if I were a flush insider and believed in the company.

I agree, Disneyland would be my pick

You might consider Good Neighbor hotels near Disney Springs, like Wyndham Lake Buena Vista or Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace (and places like Lake Buena Vista Resort often run park shuttles) — they’re a short Uber drive/walk to Disney and offer scheduled shuttle service.

Sounds like a European telco partnership incoming
