What's a Birthday Without Gift Giving?

Here at Practically Perfect Travel, we know that birthdays are most fun when there is gift giving involved! So that's why we are celebrating our birthday (week. We celebrate birthday weeks around here!) by donating a portion of our revenue to one of our very favorite agencies, Give Kids The World!

  

Give Kids The World Village (GKTW) is a 70-acre, non-profit resort in Central Florida that creates magical memories for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. GKTW provides accommodations at its whimsical resort, donated attractions tickets, meals and more for a week-long, cost-free fantasy vacation. With the help of many generous individuals, corporations and partnering wish-granting organizations, Give Kids The World has welcomed more than 122,000 families from all 50 states and over 74 countries.  Give Kids The World Village is for children between the ages of 3 and 18, who have been diagnosed by a licensed doctor with a life-threatening illness. Children are sponsored in their local communities by one of over 250 wish-granting organizations and children's hospitals that partner with Give Kids The World to grant these children their special wish vacation to Central Florida. If the child expresses the wish to visit Central Florida, then Give Kids The World Village is contacted and arranges a joyful, week-long vacation, at no cost to the family.  Arrangements can even be made within 24 hours if that is what circumstances dictate.  What a gift that GKTW gives to families: the ability to enjoy each others' limited days together in a joyful, and completely cost-free environment.  

GKTW has been in my heart ever since our family met another family on the monorail who shared with us that they had a child with a life-threatening illness and that they were guests at the GKTW Village.  They told us what a wonderful place it was, how everything was provided and how wonderful it was to spend time together as a family at Disney World.  My Dad has been fortunate enough to donate hands-on volunteer time at the GKTW Village.  It is Practically Perfect Travel's pleasure to be able to make a donation to this wonderful agency.  Please keep them in mind in the future.  If you feel led to donate, they accept monetary donations as well as items from a wish list.

A Birthday "Thank You" from Practically Perfect Travel

We can’t believe that it has already been a year since we opened Practically Perfect Travel! This has been a fabulous experience and we are so excited to see where the next year takes us. If possible, Erin and I love what we do even more now than when we first started this business.
 

When we opened Practically Perfect Travel, we shared our “Who We Are” story with you: Quite simply Erin and Heather are Disney fanatics – passionate about all things Disney. We grew up loving Disney movies and unforgettable family trips. We have become parents who are witnessing Disney through an entirely different set of eyes – our children’s. Watching their priceless joy the first time one of them laid eyes on Mickey Mouse we knew we were hooked for life. Disney is magic. We believe that every Disney trip you take is something to be cherished. We strive to provide the best customer service there is and don’t be surprised if we seem more excited about your trip at times than you.

Our story is continuing and we are proud to say that we did everything we could this year to make every trip we booked special and memorable. The relationships cultivated and happy stories shared with us when trips are over have made our year!
 

We have learned a lot this past year and would like to share this with you:

Our trips are not your trips: We have learned to listen to our clients. Just because Erin could eat Dole Whip for every meal or Heather could ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster 28 times in a row does not mean that this is what every other visitor to Disney desires. We are striving to make sure we understand our clients’ needs and what is important to them to see and do at Disney World.
 

Disney never sleeps: whether it’s getting up at the crack of dawn to make dining reservations for a client or staying on the phone until midnight to help plan a surprise birthday party at a client’s resort, Disney is almost always open. We are proud to say that while we may have needed an extra cup of coffee in the morning, we actually had fun doing all of this!
 

It’s okay to ask for help: We have learned a lot about each other and it has made us more thankful to be in this partnership together. We are not perfect, but each of us has different skills, some we are just discovering, to enhance our business.
 

As excited as we are to celebrate our first anniversary, this is not about us. Our business would be nothing without our wonderful clients and our supportive family and friends. We exceeded our expectations and goals this year and it is you who we owe our thanks. We have been consistently amazed at how clients and acquaintances are helping us spread the word. You have referred us to your family and friends and this is the highest compliment we can be paid. We hope all our clients walk away with not only a magical, well-planned Disney vacation, but also the knowledge that Erin and I love what we do and we sincerely want our work to show this.

We thank you for all of your support and help in growing our business. We are ready to take on new challenges and help make your Disney travels “Practically Perfect!”

Now that the pixie dust has settled and I have posted our pictures from our trip to Disney World I have to give ALL the credit to Ms. Erin Mercer at Practically Perfect Travel!!! Disney travel planner guru that made my life easy and our trip a breeze so we could enjoy every moment without worrying about ANYTHING. She took care of booking everything from the resort to the meals, she provided detailed information about the parks from what time to arrive to where to go first, next, etc. and what each day would look like. If it needed to be done, she did it. I didn't think about anything while there, didn't worry about anything and it all fell into place and was perfect. I will never plan another Disney vacation without her by my side. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  -Beth H.

Thank you so much for your excellent, kind, patient and knowledgeable help in planning our first-ever Walt Disney World trip! You were amazing and outstanding in answering all of my questions and, moreover, being upbeat and excited whenever we communicated!  Your patience and kindness cannot be understated.  Thank you so much for your help!  I would recommend you to whomever! – Lena F.

If you are interested in going to Disney and want to have an awesome, stress free experience booking your trip, contact Erin Mercer (at Practically Perfect Travel). I highly recommend. Even if you don't live in Greenville, she can plan everything you need via phone and email. (:"   -Christy S.

Thanks so much for planning our trip. It was awesome!!! My favorite family vacation...by far!!! We loved the hotel and character lunch. The fireworks were beautiful! –Jane Z.

Thank you for organizing the "perfect" vacation!" As an overloaded mother with a 4 year old, 86 year old parents, and a full time plus job, no time to plan and you took care of every detail! Thanks for the planned meals, hotel which was awesome, and ESP the hints about each park for us to quickly weave through the park with a 4 and 9 year old!  I can't wait to plan our next trip or have you do it! We miss Disney World already! –Julie M.

One of the highlights of one of my Disney life has been learning from Erin about how to do it right. Because of her, we barely waited in any lines, met tons of characters, and I got to satisfy my excel sheet craving.  –Cathy S.

We are back and (somewhat) recovered from our trip! Thank you so much for all your planning help and advice.  The kids were very surprised and excited to learn they were going to Disney. The tips and tricks were very helpful, particularly for Magic Kingdom. I think we got to everything on our list.  Thank you again.

Just a quick note to tell you what a fantastic time we had at Disney...thank you very much for your help. - The Sensiba Family

Thanks for our amazing trip to Disney!! We hated to see our last day come!! It was very magical!
