MAKING THE MOST MAGIC FOR FAMILES AND GROUP VACATIONS

My goal is to help families and groups find the perfect vacation.  As a former teacher, I love helping and teaching clients about new destinations or experiences.  I listen to what they are looking for and any special requirements they might have.   Then we talk about their wants and together, come up with ideas for trips they want to take.

Working with Carrie

At Fun by Fischer Travel, I specialize in customized travel planning for all types of trips. Whether you are planning a romantic weekend away or an epic family adventure, I've got you covered. My travel plans are fully personalized to you and what you want to see and do, no matter the destination. As a travel agent, I understand that every client's needs are different, which is why I take the time to get to know you and your travel objectives. With Fun by Fischer Travel, you can expect the highest level of attention to detail and care, from the moment you book till the day you come back home.

How can this be, no fees?

 The best part is that I provide all of this with no extra fees to my clients. The suppliers that I work with all include these services with their pricing, whether they book themselves online or book with me.  However,  the only way I am compensated for the time I take to educate and quote their vacations is if they book with me.  Even then I do not receive anything until after they have traveled.  

Who needs a travel agent?

You might be thinking why book with Fun by Fischer Travel if I already know where I want to go.  That's easy, with me you are not just getting someone to help you figure out where you want to go, I add value to every part of your trip.  Some trips require more work than others, but once you have worked with me, there isn't a great reason why you wouldn't.  I provide direct contact between you and the property.  You don't have to call in and wait on hold. I will proactively be looking for a better price if one comes along. If I can adjust the price to save my clients' money, I will.  This doesn't seem like the best business practice, but I would rather have repeat clients than a one-and-done.  If you have problems during your trip, I can work to get them solved quickly.  If after your trip something isn't right, you have another person on your side who knows what appropriate procedures would look like.

Types of trips I work with:

  • All-inclusives

  • Walt Disney World

  • Disneyland - even Good Neighbor hotels

  • Universal Studios and resorts

  • Many hotel brands when staying for several nights.

  • Cruises

  • Pre/Post Cruise stays

  • Family trips

  • Group trips - Girls' Trip, Guys' Trip, Couples Trip, Friends Trip, Reunions, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings

  • Couples trips

 

How I get paid:

Many of the companies you would normally book with have a commission already built in. If you don't use a travel agent, they get to keep that money. If you use me to book, then they send that commission to my host agency who pays me.  However, if I do not book your trip, then I do not see any of that commission. It is the only way that I am compensated for my time.

Benefits:

  • Keep your money local and help out local business owners and their families.

  • Same prices you would get with the suppliers. Many times I can quote straight from their public websites.

  • Many sites can be price matched.

  • Repriced, many suppliers allow me to reprice a cruise or a trip if a new sale comes out since you booked, usually, before the final payment deadline.

  • A second person to look at your trip to make sure you are booking the correct categories.

  • Someone who has access to special group pricing on some itineraries.

  • Often get on board credit on most sailings.

  • Someone working for you, not just trying to sell you the most expensive category. I want you to come back for repeat business.

  • Travel Guides

  • Email Reminders for when to check in, or when to make dining reservations. 

  • Ride Guides

  • Dining Guides

  • Individualized plan for parks 

  • Discounts when booking a flight and a hotel stay, even if it is just for one night.

  • Rental Cars, especially when added to a hotel or flight, can save you money by packaging them together.

Other ways to support me:

  • Viator - tour company (again, you need to book through my link) or ask me for a location and dates, I can send you a specialized link for booking.

  • Project Expedition - tour company (book with my link you should see my logo)

  • My other website - click book now and you can search through multiple cruise companies' cruises all at once in one search engine.

  • 3rd Party Travel Insurance like RoamRight, backed by Arch. Getting a quote takes less than 2 min. No email required.  Info you will need: Travel dates, Travelers' ages, Travelers' state of residence, date of deposit, if you paid with any kind of voucher, the amount of the trip. Name the quote and see the cost of up to 3 plan types.  Many times, the Medical and Evacuation coverage is better than the suppliers'. So it is worth comparing. You can even see the details of each plan.  You don't even have to be booked with me to purchase this trip insurance. It is often cheaper than suppliers' plans. Age does play a role, so it is always a good idea to check pricing on both.

We decided to take a cruise to Alaska this year but didn't know all the details about cruising. We googled travel agents in our area and found cfischertravel. She was available to answer our questions and if she didn't know something, she contacted the cruise or airline to get correct information. Carrie knew a lot but didn't hesitate to reach out if she wasn't sure. We booked a cruise through Princess and flights on Delta which we were able to do on the Princess website. Carrie helped us schedule excursions through Princess. There were a lot of details to work through and Carrie helped us with all of them. Our vacation was fantastic with no problems, thanks to Carrie. Alaska is absolutely beautiful, we will definitely use Princess Cruises and Carrie again in the future. We were made aware of any flight changes so there were no unexpected surprises.

Shoutout to Carrie Fischer, my amazing travel agent, for helping make my 40th birthday trip to Punta Cana a reality! She not only planned my trip but also helped my friends book their stays at Breathless Resort, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Even when I felt like I was being a bit of a pain, Carrie was always patient, responsive, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Her quick response time was a lifesaver—especially when one of our flights got canceled, and she stepped in to help. If you’re looking for a travel agent who truly cares and puts in the extra effort, I highly recommend Carrie! Thanks again for everything!

Do not recommend. Called asking for help planning a destination wedding and she literally told us she didn't have time and that "it would be too expensive". You didnt even bother asking for our budget? Will be taking our business elsewhere.
