Disney Magic Made By John!!
Reviewed By Jon - Elmhurst, IL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
John was fantastic in every step of the way. He made our trip to Disney World seamless!! We had a large group and some unique arrangements that we were looking for. John really did work magic in order to make our trip a reality. He also helped us navigate through some of the nuances to the park as COVID was still impacting some things. John also gave us a crash course in the Genie+ app, which proved to be critical in how we planned out each day. Overall, John was a pleasure to work with and we'd recommend him to anyone looking to book a trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Renewed faith in travel agents
Reviewed By Juju - Chicago, Il | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
John was truly a joy to work with. He listened and understood exactly what my family was looking for. I had done a ton of research prior to getting in contact with John and he answered all my questions and helped me select the resort that was the best fit. He really went out of his way to make sure we got the rooms we wanted and ensure everything was set up properly. I really appreciate his timely responses and periodic check-ins to make sure everything went as planned. John has renewed my faith in travel agents!

Client Testimonials

Winter Escape Vacation!
John was very thorough in getting to know us well through the interview process to help determine the best options for our vacation. John presented multiple options as we worked towards a final selection. John was highly knowledgeable of the several locations and attending resorts that we were considering. Based on the discussions we had with John, he provided a range of excursion options and helped us make the appropriate choice. We never felt rushed or pressured in making our decision and could not have been happier with our final choice. John helped us pick the perfect spot for our vacation. We could not have done it without his guidance and expertise.

Disney Expert!
I’m planning a wonderful vacation for me and Aspen this Summer to Disneyworld. And I just need to mention John Dostaler who has helped plan this for us. He has patiently dealt with all my calls and text messages and thousand questions, including recommending things to do and places to eat, and having to change the flights because Aspen‘s going to go to church camp. And he has just been so available to help make this a special time for us. I’m so thankful for John!
