Best Disney Trip!
Reviewed By Elizabeth - Pinson, Alabama | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We simply do not have enough good things to say about Straight Away! We booked our Disney World vacation through Mindy. Anyone who has ever tried to plan a Disney trip knows how overwhelming it can be. Mindy made the process and breeze from start to finish, from booking our tickets and rooms, all the way down to making sure we got all the dinner reservations we had on our wishlist. She was always a call or text away and was SUPER knowledgeable about all things Disney. Can’t wait to book our next trip through her!

Smooth Sailing
Reviewed By Anastasia Goers - Palm City, Fl | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Mindy Fontan at Straight Away Travel helped me keep my sanity and made vacation booking a truly pleasant experience. She helped us find the perfect cruise for our family and booked rooms next to each other. I spent hours before I reached out to her researching the cruises and trying to find connecting rooms or at least rooms on the same deck. It was a nightmare! When I reached out to Mindy she listened to all of our needs and found the perfect setup for our family of 6 (I wish I did it before I spent hours trying to book a cruise on my own.)I was really impressed with all the extra tips and a thoughtful gift that she sent us prior to our vacation. If I had a question (no matter how silly it sounded :-) - she had the answer. Thanks Mindy for being an amazing travel agent and helping our family have an unforgettable vacation!

Well Planned Disney Fun!
Reviewed By Jennifer Jarolem - Fair Lawn, NJ | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We always wanted to take the kids to Disney World, but we knew we couldn’t plan everything on our own. We starting planning our trip about a year ago, and Mindy was a wonderful travel agent to work with! She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and punctual. Whenever we had a question (and I had a lot of them) she would answer it immediately. She was on top of every little detail, and sent out helpful tips for our trip as well. We couldn’t have done this trip without her. We highly recommend her services!

Last Minute Trip!

We asked Mindy to find us a relaxed venue with our given budget and she did not disappoint. She booked us at the Barcelo Maya Tropical resort on the Riviera Maya and we had an amazing vacation. She added an excursion to Chichen Itza and a cenote, and it was agreat day. The resort itself is beautiful and loved that it was all inclusive. Would highly recommend this trip and of course would recommend Mindy who helped us get an amazing vacation!

Theme Park Fun!
Reviewed By Manuela - Summerville, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We have booked a few WDW and a Universal Orlando trip with Mindy, and each one was amazing. Each trip was unique because WDW is constantly making changes to reservation requirements, their Genie+ skip the line service, and constantly rotating perks, benefits, and features of resort stays. Mindy was knowledgeable and up to date on all of the changes. She was prompt to reply and excited for us. Her enthusiasm for Disney, and travel in general, really psyched us up. On our first trip we booked with Mindy, she really got in the weeds and help us plan our days and reservations. This took so much pressure off of us and we had the most magical and relaxing vacation. This past trip, we asked if she could get us a very hard to get backstage tour, and SHE DID!!! We were so excited. We will definitely be booking with Mindy again.
