Important Email Address & Name Change Notice
Below is VERY important information regarding Universal bookings as well as commission requests! Please read all the way through!
Universal wants to stress that the email address and name you use when you call in to make a booking over the phone NEEDS to match your VAX account. If you need to update your email address, or if you’ve had a name change, please email Therese@parksavers.com.
“On a technical note, I want to address an important operational matter regarding Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations bookings. When advisors call to make reservations, it’s crucial they use the exact name listed in their VAX account, which appears in a dropdown menu for our reservation agents. This ensures proper booking visibility and access within the VAX system for the advisor. Mismatched names will result in restricted access to booking information via VAX. Some packages, however (Military), will never pull up in VAX due to the package only resides within the Universal Reservation Booking platform.”
On this same note, please make sure you’re using the same email address for VEEM (commission payments) as what we have on file/what you’re booking with. Again, if you need to update your email address, please email Therese@parksavers.com
EPIC Universe Update
Speaking of VAX- With EPIC Universe opening date approaching, it would be a smart idea to make sure you can login to VAX. VAX tends to lock accounts, or even delete them, due to inactivity. Please make suer you are READY to go! Don’t wait until someone is asking for a quote and then send an “Urgent” message to get your account unlocked. If you need your account unlocked, please fill out the form below!
Marketing Class Registration is Open!
We are SO EXCITED to start a unique MainStreet exclusive Marketing Class, open to all agents regardless of experience and number of clients. Classes are held weekly, and each track has multiple options for you to attend, including during and after the workday (and recording only options!). Each class has worksheets, notes, and tasks to complete in the week-created with YOUR schedule in mind. We know some agents have more time than others to work on tasks, and the lessons are created to suit your needs!
Level one introduces marketing concepts and practices that will help shape your goals as you move forward. In level one, you’ll be introduced to our four other tracks (social media, events, organizations, or local businesses) and can move forward knowing which one is best suited to your personality, skills, and potential. Any agent can benefit from Level one. Agents who want to change their marketing tactics or who have LITTLE TO NO marketing experience are best suited for level one.
Once you finish level one, you are encouraged to take level two! Level two is where we dive deep into your specific track (social media, events, organizations, or local businesses). This is level is suited for everyone who finishes level one AND agents who are ALREADY in the beginning processes of their track focus. (For example, you want to do social media marketing and have already started posting. You want to market to your local organization and have already posted up a flier, etc.) Agents who want to bypass level one will have to meet certain pre-requisites.
Lessons start March 4th, and the full calendar of track options are in the sign-up link.

Exclusive Booking Cabins Available!
Exciting news! We’ve opened a group sailing with Carnival for agents to book into! You will be able to market for a specific sailing and offer special extras that guests wouldn’t normally receive. We will have social media post ides and graphics you’ll be able to share across your social media platforms.
We also have instructions on how to book into the group to receive the extras. Please note: at this point, we DO NOT know how much the onboard credit will be. It will be based on how many cabins are sold. This information will be available at the beginning of July when final payments are due. There will be a special cocktail party as well. We DO NOT know which day of the ailing it will be, and we also DO NOT know if it will be exclusive or shared. We will know this information in July when final payments are received. 🙂
We’re very excited to be able to offer these opportunities more and more frequently! Below is a graphic for AGENTS ONLY. Do not share this, as it only contains pertinent information for you as the agent. We will hare more graphics on Facebook and Mighty Networks for you to start promoting and booking.
When you book a cabin into this Exclusive Booking, please fill out the form below so we can help keep track of due dates and other important information. Have fun with this and let’s get our clients to Celebration Key!!

Agent Spotlight!
Welcome to your Weekly Agent Spotlight!
Meet Jillian A.! Here’s a little about Jillian and her TA journey:
My journey to becoming a travel agent is deeply personal and rooted in my love for travel and connection. It all started with my mom—she always dreamed of traveling the world, but a rare form of cancer that debilitated her health and mobility has made it impossible for her to fulfill that dream. Watching her miss out inspired me to help others create memories and experiences they’ll cherish forever.
Travel has always been a big part of my life, from personal and family trips to my years as a production manager in the entertainment industry. I was constantly booking flights, hotels, and activities for cast and crew, which taught me the ins and outs of travel logistics. When I transitioned to running my own business, combining my passion for travel and my knack for organization was a no-brainer.
What I love most about being a travel agent is helping people experience joy and adventure in ways they might not have thought possible. Whether it’s crafting surprise trips, nerdy-themed adventures, or simply helping clients maximize their time and budget, I get to be part of their story—and that’s so fulfilling.
Every trip I plan is an opportunity to create magic for someone, and I feel honored to be trusted with such an important part of their lives.
Where is your favorite place to travel?:
Walt Disney World, or on cross-country road trips
What are your favorite types of bookings?
Cruises! I’ve only done a couple so far, but hope to do plenty more.
What is one piece of advice you’d give your fellow agents?
Don’t underestimate social media.
Thank you for sharing with us Jillian!!
