Disney University Graduate
Manchester families have one of the best Disney World departure options in the UK. Here is how to make the most of it.
I am Alex Perry, an independent Disney holiday specialist and the only travel agent in the United Kingdom to have graduated from Disney University. I work with families across Manchester, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, and the wider North West through a fully online service.
One of the genuine advantages Manchester families have when planning a Walt Disney World holiday is Manchester Airport. Manchester Airport has direct flights to Orlando International Airport operated by several UK carriers, making it one of the most convenient departure points for a Florida holiday anywhere outside of London. For North West families, this means no early morning drive to Heathrow, no overnight stay near the airport, and a direct arrival in Orlando ready to start the holiday.
I factor departure from Manchester Airport into every quote I build for North West clients and advise on which specific airlines and timings work best for your family’s travel dates and budget.
I am based in Maldon, Essex, and every aspect of my service runs online. You do not need to visit me in person. From your first enquiry through to your pre-departure briefing and while you are away at Disney World, I am available to you personally, seven days a week from 09:00 to 21:00.
Every booking is fully ATOL and ABTA protected through Travelosophers, an ABTA registered company and proud member of the Advantage Travel Group.
Manchester Airport to Orlando — the North West advantage
Manchester Airport is one of the UK’s most important departure points for transatlantic travel. Direct flights to Orlando International Airport from Manchester are available with several carriers and the service has been a fixture of North West family travel for many years.
For Manchester and North West families, flying directly from Manchester to Orlando removes the most significant logistical challenge of a Disney World holiday from anywhere outside the South East — the need to get to a London airport first. A direct morning departure from Manchester can have your family at your Disney resort hotel by early afternoon local time, giving you a full arrival day to enjoy the resort before your park visits begin.
Flight times from Manchester to Orlando are approximately nine to nine and a half hours direct. For families who prefer to break the journey, one-stop options via Dublin, Amsterdam, or other European hubs are also available and sometimes offer better pricing depending on the travel dates.
I check Manchester departure options against all alternatives for every North West client and advise on the specific combination of airline, departure time, and price that best suits your family’s travel window and priorities.
For
Disneyland Paris, Manchester Airport also has services to Paris airports, and Eurostar from London St Pancras is an option for families happy to travel south for the train.
Why London families book their Disney holiday with me...
The Only UK Disney University Graduate
No other Disney travel agent in the UK has graduated from Disney University. This inside knowledge of how Disney operates shapes every recommendation I make for your family.
Manchester Airport Expertise
I build Manchester Airport departure options into every North West client’s quote as standard. I advise on direct versus connecting flights, timing for arrival days, and which departure options give your family the best start to the holiday.
ATOL and ABTA Protected
Every Disney holiday I book is fully protected. Your money is safe from the moment you pay your first deposit. This is something you do not automatically get when booking directly through the Disney website.
Available 7 Days a Week
I am here from 09:00 to 21:00 every day including weekends and evenings. London families with busy working weeks often contact me on Saturday mornings or Sunday evenings. I am always here.

“As first-time visitors to Disney, we had no idea where to begin… and that’s exactly why booking through Your Fairytale Holiday was the best decision we made.
Everything was explained so clearly—from choosing the right resort to understanding how the parks really work. We felt confident every step of the way, and our trip was beyond anything we imagined.
We wouldn’t have changed a thing.”

The free dining offer was what first caught our attention, but
the support we received made the biggest difference. Everything was explained so clearly, and having help with dining reservations meant we got everything we wanted.
We wouldn’t have managed that on our own.
-Emma & Luke travelled in September 2025

Great experience from start to finish. The advice on where to stay and how to plan our days was really helpful. There’s so much to take in with Disney, but having that guidance made it far less overwhelming.

We weren’t sure about Universal,
but the hotel recommendation completely changed our experience. Having the Express Passes included meant we walked onto rides all day. It saved us so much time.

Our first Disney Cruise and everything was explained so well before we went. From check-in to onboard activities, we felt fully prepared. It meant we could just relax and enjoy every moment.

Booking during the Free Dining offer was a big reason we went ahead, and
Alex made the whole process really straightforward. She made sure we secured the offer and gave us tips on how to use it, which was
really helpful. We probably would upgrade the plan next time just to get a bit more flexibility, but overall it added great value.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alex managed to secure us the Free Dining offer and it completely changed our trip. Knowing our meals were included meant we could relax and actually enjoy everything without worrying about the cost adding up. Her advice on dining reservations was spot on—we got into places we never thought we would.
Would 100% book this way again.
-Sophie & Daniel travelled May 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were completely overwhelmed trying to plan Disney ourselves. There is SO much information out there, and we didn’t know what actually mattered.
Having everything broken down for us and tailored to our family made such a difference. It turned something stressful into something really exciting.

Booking through Your Fairytale Holiday
took a lot of the stress out of planning our first Disney trip. Everything was explained clearly, and we felt much more confident going into the holiday.
The park tips and dining advice were really helpful, and we managed to do so much without feeling rushed. A tiny bit of a learning curve once we got there, but overall a brilliant experience and one we’d happily repeat.
-Marie, travelled October 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We booked during the Free Disney Dining offer and honestly, it made such a difference to our budget. Alex explained exactly what was included and how to get the most value from it—we definitely wouldn’t have used it as well without her advice! Having so many meals included took away the stress of constantly spending while we were there. It made the whole trip feel more relaxed and better value overall.
-The Mitchell Family travelled in September 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Free Dining offer was a really nice addition to our trip and definitely helped with budgeting.
Alex explained how it all worked and gave us some great dining suggestions which we really appreciated. We didn’t always use the credits in the best way, but that was more on us—next time we’ll definitely follow her advice more closely!

"Travelling post-Covid came with a lot of questions, but
we felt supported throughout the whole process. Communication was great and we always knew what we needed to do next. It wasn’t completely stress-free (mainly due to the ever-changing rules), but having someone guide us through it made a huge difference."
- Charlotte, travelled in May 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Booking our Disney holiday after Covid felt overwhelming at first, but having everything managed for us made it feel simple again. We were kept informed of any updates, and the planning support meant we didn’t feel out of our depth.
It brought the excitement back into travelling.
- Lauren, travelled February 2022

“We honestly wouldn’t book a Disney holiday any other way now.
From the very beginning, everything was taken care of—resort recommendations, dining plans, park strategies… every detail was thoughtfully handled. It took away so much of the stress and allowed us to simply enjoy the excitement of the trip.
Travelling in February 2020 also came with added worries around Covid, but Alex knew exactly what to do. She kept us informed, reassured, and made sure we were safe and supported throughout—it made a huge difference during such an uncertain time.
Even while we were away, it was so reassuring to know we had someone there if we needed anything.
Absolutely priceless.”
- James, travelled in February 2020
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“My family and I have booked our annual trips to Walt Disney World with Your Fairytale Holiday for the past eight years—and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Of course, we could book it ourselves, but we genuinely love working with Alex. Her knowledge of Disney is incredible, and the added extras, tips, and advice she provides are truly invaluable.
It’s that level of care and expertise that makes all the difference—and why we’ll never book with anyone else.”

“Alex is amazing. She really takes the time to understand exactly what you want from your holiday—when you want to travel, where you want to stay, and what budget you’re working with.
She’s completely honest and makes thoughtful recommendations to enhance your trip, not just sell it. In fact, she saved us money compared to other quotes we’d received, while also giving us a truly personal service.
From our very first quote right through to weeks after we returned, Alex was always there—checking in regularly, offering dining recommendations, FastPass advice, and support while we were actually in Orlando.
I wouldn’t book with anyone else and have already recommended Your Fairytale Holiday to so many friends and families.”
-Laura, travelled in October 2019
