The Client agrees to review itinerary drafts and respond to requests for feedback or approval in a timely manner. Delayed responses may affect the ability to secure certain reservations or experiences.
3. Reservations and Availability
The Client acknowledges that Walt Disney World dining reservations, Enchanting Extras, character experiences, and Lightning Lane selections are subject to availability and applicable booking rules.
Park Star will make reasonable efforts to secure the Client's agreed-upon priorities but cannot guarantee any specific reservation, attraction, experience, return time, or outcome.
Cancellation monitoring does not guarantee that an opening will become available or that Park Star will be able to secure it before another guest.
Where a preferred experience is unavailable, Park Star may recommend alternatives. The Client will approve any material substitutions or additional expenses before commitments are made.
The Client remains responsible for ensuring that required reservations, tickets, confirmations, and other travel arrangements are accurate and accessible.
4. Planning Fee and Payment
The total fee for the services described in this agreement is as agreed upon with your travel advisor.
Payment is due in full before personalized itinerary development begins. Planning services will commence once payment has been received and the Client has provided the information reasonably necessary to begin.
The planning fee covers Park Star's professional time, research, itinerary development, and the agreed-upon concierge services. It does not include park tickets, accommodations, meals, transportation, Lightning Lane purchases, Enchanting Extras, gratuities, or other third-party expenses.
Any additional services or fees must be communicated to and approved by the Client before work on those additional services begins.
5. Communication and In-Trip Support
Park Star will provide planning communications by email and/or the mutually agreed-upon messaging method.
During the vacation, included support is available during the following hours:
- Support hours: Monday through Sunday, 7am–9pm EST

In-trip support includes reasonable assistance with itinerary questions, reservation-related troubleshooting, and practical adjustments to the family's plans.
This service does not include guaranteed immediate responses, continuous monitoring of the Client's activities, emergency assistance, or unlimited last-minute itinerary redesigns.
For urgent medical, safety, or other emergencies, the Client should contact the appropriate emergency services or Disney Cast Members directly.

Park Star provides planning and concierge assistance and does not control Walt Disney World Resort or other third-party providers.
Park Star is not responsible for changes to operating hours, attraction closures, reservation availability, ride restrictions, weather, transportation delays, or other circumstances outside its reasonable control.
Park Star will make reasonable efforts to help the Client adjust plans when such circumstances arise. Nothing in this agreement excludes any responsibility or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
8. Cancellation, Refunds, and Changes
The Client may cancel the concierge service by providing written notice to Park Star.
If the Client cancels, any refund will be determined based on the services already performed, the stage of the planning process, and any applicable legal requirements. Park Star will provide a written accounting of the work completed and any refund due under the applicable policy.
If Park Star must cancel the service and cannot provide a suitable alternative arrangement, Park Star will refund the portion of the fee attributable to services not provided, subject to applicable law.
Changes to the Client's travel dates, party size, or requested scope of services may require adjustments to the planning process and fee. Park Star will discuss any additional fee with the Client and obtain approval before proceeding.
The concierge planning fee is separate from any reservations, tickets, accommodations, or other third-party purchases, which remain subject to the applicable provider's cancellation and refund policies.
9. Privacy and Information Security
Park Star will use information provided by the Client only as reasonably necessary to deliver the agreed-upon services and administer the client relationship, subject to applicable privacy laws.
The Client should not send passwords or sensitive payment card details through ordinary email or text. Any necessary account access or payment information should be provided through an appropriate secure method.
