Booking windows
The cabin, room, package or hotel you want may only be available for a short window.
Royal Caribbean, Disney cruises and Orlando
Trips built around what you love, with the logistics handled for you.
I plan Royal Caribbean and Disney cruises, and the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando trip around them. I work around the booking windows, hotels, park access rules, deposits and group details for you.

Service paths
Pick the kind of trip you're planning
A Royal Caribbean or Disney cruise, Orlando park days, or a combined trip you'd rather hand off entirely.
Why it gets complicated
Fan trips are harder to plan than ordinary vacations
The first flight or the closest hotel is rarely the best choice. Rules, timing and how you get in all change the plan.
Hotels around the sailing
Pre-cruise nights, resort packages and park hotels come with deposits, minimum stays and payment dates that don't line up on their own.
Access rules and VIP products
Park access, express passes, VIP tours, event tickets and supplier rules change, so they need checking against current sources.
Group coordination
Cabins, rooms, dining, transfers, payments and pacing all get harder when friends or family travel together.
Upcoming themed sailings
Royal Caribbean and Disney sailings coming up
The next themed sailings on Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line ships, from fan days at sea to gaming and cosplay groups.
How I help
How I plan a trip
You get a short list of options, a clear explanation of the tradeoffs, and someone watching the details that tend to change after you book.
Discover
I ask about the cruise or park trip, the fandom if there is one, how you like to travel, your budget, your group and what you can't miss.
Shortlist
I compare sailings, hotels, packages, routes and access options that fit, and send you a short list instead of a giant page of search results.
Coordinate
I line up group details, deposits, deadline reminders, room or cabin preferences, and what happens before and after the trip.
Book
I book with suppliers where I can, and tell you up front when a direct or non-commissionable booking needs a planning fee. Planning fees don't apply to Florida residents.
Monitor changes
I keep an eye on schedule changes, supplier updates, cancellation deadlines and anything else that can change after you book.
Pedro Zabala, Independent Travel Agent
Travel planning for fan trips with too many open tabs.
I'm Pedro Zabala, and HyperlaneTravels is my travel brand. I plan Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line sailings and the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando trips around them, with organized research and hands-on help with the logistics. HyperlaneTravels isn't officially affiliated with the cruise lines, parks, events or fan communities your trip is built around.
Affiliated with Cornerstone Travel
I'm an Independent Travel Agent affiliated with Cornerstone Travel, my host agency. Its affiliate logo sits next to my Seller of Travel details at the bottom of every page.

What I check on every trip
Current supplier rules, prices, deposit and cancellation dates, and park or ship access rules, checked against official sources before you pay. Suppliers control them, so I can't guarantee them.
Fees before any work
Most trips booked through suppliers don't need a separate planning fee. If yours does, I tell you before any paid work starts. Planning fees don't apply to Florida residents.
