Cruise & Disney Travel Expert
As your travel agent, I won't just book a canned itinerary for you and then forward on some generic paperwork. That may be the way travel booking sites on the Internet work. But it is definitely a far cry from the level of service you'll get from me.
My goal is to always provide my clients with concierge-level service. That means that I will devote myself to creating the perfect travel itinerary for you, one that will fit your budget and will honor your wishes, desires and travel style.
In addition, I will also be available for you during your travels. So if you should encounter any problems on your trip, you can always call or email me and I will work to find a solution.
Part of the reason why I can offer you such exceptional service is because I truly enjoy working on all phases of the planning process. It is hard to be as devoted as I am if you don't enjoy what you are doing.
While I enjoy booking all types of travel, I do specialize in arranging cruise and Disney vacations. I personally take my family to a Disney-related vacation each year. And I am also an experienced cruiser. The following are just some of the ships I have personal experience with:
- Royal Caribbean
- Carnival
- Disney
- Princess Cruises
Why is this important? Because when it comes to cruising, it really does make a difference to work with someone who -- like myself -- has personal experience on these ships. Each cruise line and ship has its own particular personality, and cabins can differ greatly. But with my experience, I can steer you to the ship and cabin that will be best for your needs and budget.
And while you may think that all of this personal attention sounds expensive, my services are actually free to you. Companies like Disney and the cruise lines pay my commission, so your trip usually costs the same whether you spend hours on the Internet slogging through deals and websites on your own or if you let me do the work for you. In fact, there's a good possibility that I will even save you money because as a travel agent I am privy to special deals and extras that you may not be able to find on your own.

Reviewed By Elizabeth - IDAHO FALLS | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Alan Eskelsen was awesome to work with. Alan put together our Costa Rica trip in March 2019. We traveled from Idaho Falls, Idaho and another couple was traveling from Montana. Alan did a fantastic job at matching our flights so we could travel together. Alan suggested the Riu Resort, it was a beautiful resort. Thank you Alan

Best first family vacation!
Reviewed By Allen family - Idaho falls, Idaho | Traveled to Anaheim ~ California ~ USA
He was very friendly and professional. Provided us with all information and we asked for, after showing us what He had set up for us he showed us other options there was and what the prices would be. Everything went as planned but had a little tiny hiccup at the park but they were able to find our tickets so we were still very pleased with everything he had set up for us.

Fantastic family vacation
Reviewed By Leah - Isaho Falls, ID | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Alan recently booked our family vacation to Disney's Aulani resort on Oahu. I had called the resort directly and gotten all the information to book our trip, but my husband wanted to call a travel agent. I humored him thinking nobody does that anymore. Boy, was I wrong! Alan saved us a significant amount of money and made the whole process so much smoother and easier. We just returned from that trip (after booking it with Alan, not directly) and have already contacted him about booking our Disney cruise for next spring break. Call him! You won't regret it!

Alan did and outstanding job getting our travel arrangements set up. I checked several sites for price comparison while working with Alan and must say his prices were very comparable with the other big travel sites. He takes care of all the work all you have to do is give him the go ahead and it is taken care of. We will definitely be using him again for our travels.

Alan was so wonderful with helping me plan a surprise trip for my husbands’ 30th birthday. He walked me through what I needed and made sure to answer all of my questions.

Easiest trip I've ever planned!
Reviewed By Roline - Logan, Utah | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
I usually always book my own vacations but it can be so time consuming. After a friend told me about Kalilei Vacations, I checked the reviews and then talked with Alan. After getting to know me, my and my family's likes and needs he made ALL the arrangements for our travel. Traveling with elderly parents can be challenging but Alan has assured us we will be accommodated all the way. We are so excited for our trip of a lifetime to Kaui!
