My husband and I wish to take our 9 yr old granddaughter and her mom to Disneyland/Universal Hollywood in May. We have contacted 3 different agencies and none of them have come through with any kind of assistance. They say they’ll send information, call at a specific time, e-mail a plan and then never do any of that. We are desperately trying to find someone who will truly help us with our surprise for our granddaughter. Please, if there is someone with your agency that can assist us; we would very much appreciate it.
