Get Away Today Offers Affordable Disneyland Family Travel
Disney On the Brain:
This past month has been a whirlwind of all things Disney! My family and I spent four days and three nights at the Disneyland Resort for the Disney Social Media Moms conference where I developed a newfound love for anything Disney. Disneyland really is a top notch family destination and the customer service is just wonderful! We stayed at the Disneyland Resort and I was so impressed with the quality of the food and our room. One of our favorite things in the room (besides the Mickey Mouse lights) was the backboard – when you flip a switch, the board lights up like there is a fireworks show going on in your room while a sweet lullaby plays for a few minutes. It is these little details that really made the entire family vacation extra special.
Affordable Family Vacations:
Dandelion moms is excited to be participating in a Disney Vacation giveaway this coming June with a group of other mom bloggers! Every family should have the chance to visit Disneyland or Disneyworld at least once! Details of that giveaway will be up on our site the end of May. Along with the money these group of mom bloggers put towards the Disney giveaway – the trip is being subsidized by a family-owned company called Get Away Today which offers affordable family trips (up to 1,900 destinations) with a focus on San Diego or Disneyland vacations. One of the things that really impressed me about this company is how much they give back to their community! The company was chosen as the Best of State in 2013 and 2014 in Utah and were honored by the Jordan Education Foundation for their support since 1997. Between the Children’s Miracle Network and different school foundations the company has donated over $3.3 million dollars. Check out this silly YouTube clip of the crew at Get Away Today showing their excitement for winning Best of State.

Get Away Today Gives Back:
We had a chance to speak to the owners Chuck and Julie about the company and what was the inspiration behind creating Get Away Today and how they got involved with the Children’s Miracle Network and School Foundations.
Tell us what was the inspiration behind starting your travel company, Get Away Today? The idea behind Get Away Today started with us taking our own family vacation to Disneyland years ago. We had a wonderful time and came home with the best memories, but we were surprised with how much it cost. We knew there had to be a better way and came up with a plan to make a Disneyland vacation affordable for more families. We started partnering with area hotels and attractions to offer discount accommodations and tickets. In fact, we were the first wholesale partner of the Disneyland Resort.
Why do you feel Disney vacations are so popular with families? At Disneyland, families are able to make magical memories you just can’t get anywhere else. Disneyland is all about enjoying time with your loved ones and doing something fun for everyone. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy and children of all ages can meet their favorite characters from classics favorites like Mickey Mouse to new beloved stars like Elsa and Anna from Frozen.
How did your involvement with Children’s Miracle Network and School Foundations in Utah come about? Giving back to the community has always been very important to us. We know that education and good health are crucial in raising children. So we started supporting the school foundations in our area and then broadened our partnerships and started supporting the Children’s Miracle Network as well. We love giving back to kids and that is why a portion of every vacation package booked is donated to these causes.
Any news you want to share with our lovely dandelion moms? Every day we are working to bring the best vacation experience at the lowest cost possible for our guests. We love helping families make lasting memories at an affordable rate. We look forward to helping our relationship with Dandelion Moms blossom!

Note: We are working with Get Away Today and providing a Disney Vacation Giveaway as part of a mom blogger group giveaway that will be up in June. We are compensated when family vacations are purchased via links on the site – however this does not affect our opinion in any way. We still think this is an affordable way to plan a family vacation!
