As one of the original EarMarked travel agency partners with Disney Destinations, Academy Travel has proudly maintained its EarMarked status every year since the program’s inception. Today, the agency holds Diamond-Level Disney EarMarked status—the highest distinction awarded by Disney Destinations—and is among a select few agencies nationwide to achieve this recognition.

While Disney remains at the heart of our success, Academy Travel’s expertise extends far beyond the parks. Our advisors specialize in destinations around the world, including Hawaii, Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Caribbean islands, Mexico, Costa Rica, and luxury cruise experiences.

Our website, AcademyTravel.com, continues to evolve as a trusted source of inspiration and information. It’s designed not as a booking engine, but as a place to dream, explore, and connect with a professional travel advisor who will handle every detail. We believe nothing replaces the value of working with a trained, experienced travel expert—your own personal VIP agent—who will save you hours of research and ensure your vacation is seamless from start to finish.

At Academy Travel, our mission is simple: to provide every client with the highest level of service, value, and care. We can’t wait to help you plan your next magical destination vacation soon.
