How We Plan Your Vacation - A Veteran-Owned Travel Agency Serving Families Across the U.S.
We’re a Southeast Michigan-based travel agency specializing in Disney, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts — with a particular focus on military families and travelers with special needs. Our planning is free. Our advice isn’t.
Step 1: You request a free quote. You tell us where you want to go, when, and who’s coming. The form takes about 3 minutes.
Step 2: We have a real conversation. Phone, email, or video — your choice. We’ll ask questions you didn’t know mattered (room category, park ticket type, dining priorities, accessibility needs, military status, whether you have flexibility on dates). This usually saves people hundreds of dollars before we’ve booked anything.
Step 3: We build your itinerary. You get a written proposal — flights, hotel, transfers, park tickets, dining suggestions, the whole thing — with prices laid out. You’re not committed to anything yet.
Step 4: We book it once you approve. Payment goes to the supplier (Disney, the cruise line, the resort). We never hold your money.
Step 5: We support you through the trip. Dining reservations at 60 days out, Lightning Lane strategy at 7 days, room requests, day-of issues — we handle it. If something goes wrong on your trip, you call us, not a 1-800 number.
Why Jinni Vacations is Free
Travel suppliers — Disney, the cruise lines, the resorts — pay us a small commission when you book through us. The commission is built into the price they’d charge you anyway. Booking through us is the same price as booking direct (and sometimes less, when we find promotions you don’t know about). We never charge planning fees, and we never mark up your trip.

Who We Serve
We work with families across the United States, but we get the most repeat clients in three categories: active-duty and veteran military families, families traveling with a member who has accessibility or sensory needs, and first-time Disney World families who want someone to handle the details.
If you’re a military family, we know Shades of Green inside and out, we plan around deployments and PCS moves, and we understand which discounts actually save money versus which are marketing dressed up as a discount.
If you’re traveling with a family member who has a disability, sensory sensitivity, or medical needs, we’ll handle the DAS application, the room requests, the dietary tags on dining reservations, and the cruise stateroom selection. We’ve planned trips for travelers using wheelchairs, families managing autism, and guests with feeding tubes — the details matter, and we know them.
If it’s your first Disney trip and you’re overwhelmed by the planning, that’s our most common client. We’ll keep you out of the rabbit hole.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only book Disney vacations?
No. While Disney is one of our specialties, we also plan Disney Cruise Line voyages, all-inclusive resort stays, European getaways, and bucket-list cruises. If you’re dreaming of a trip, we can likely help plan it.
Do I have to live in Michigan to work with you?
Not at all. Although we’re based in Southeast Michigan, we work with clients across the United States. All planning is handled remotely by phone, email, or video call, whichever you prefer.
Why should I use a travel agent instead of booking directly?
You get a dedicated advisor who handles the details, monitors for promotions, and advocates for you if anything goes wrong. Instead of waiting on hold with a call center, you have one point of contact who knows your trip. And because our service is free, there’s no added cost to doing it this way, especially for Disney World and Disney Cruise Line trips, where dining reservations, Lightning Lane, and stateroom selection happen on tight timelines.
Do you specialize in any particular type of traveler?
Yes. As a veteran-owned agency, we have deep experience planning trips for military families, including navigating military discounts and scheduling around deployments and PCS moves. We also specialize in accessible travel for families with special needs. Whether you’re planning a first Walt Disney World trip with young kids or a Disney cruise to celebrate a retirement, we tailor each itinerary to your family.
Will I pay more by booking through Jinni Vacations?
No. Booking through us is the same price as booking direct, and sometimes less when we find promotions you might not know about. We never charge planning fees.
