I don't know if this is allowed or even which forum to post in but I was just curious if anyone has used a travel agent for their trip before and if it was worth it. I'm considering using The Magic For Less for my trip this year.
Definitely worth it. At the very least, a travel agent will go to bat for you if something goes wrong with any part of your trip. They can also find you the right travel insurance for when things go really wrong. I used to work as one, and while a travel agent can't usually get you a better price, the extra service a good agent brings to the table definitely makes it worthwhile.
We use a TA when it comes to flights. I drive to WDW with our camper and dog. Wife and sometimes kids fly in later. Yes I can find flights online and sometimes I tell the agent what I have found, but if something goes wrong, weather or mechanical delays, I want someone to help me get things back on track while I'm not there. Sometimes I'll find a cheap flight and then the agent says you don't want to fly that airline, hidden fees, bad online times. I feel safer with someone that knows the ins and outs of air travel. I make my own campsite, ADR's, and fast passes.
