Is it really free?
Yes. Really. My planning services don't cost you a dime, and you never pay more for booking through me. If that sounds too good to be true, good — you should be skeptical. Here's exactly how the money works.
How I get paid — and why it costs you nothing
When you book a Disney vacation, a cruise, or a guided adventure through me, the supplier pays me a commission after you travel. You pay exactly the same price you'd pay booking direct — the planning, the booking, and the support are complimentary to you.
Here's the part most people don't know: agent commission is already built into the rates these companies publish — whether you use an agent or not. Book on your own and the company simply keeps that money. Book with me and it pays for a professional in your corner.
Getting paid by the supplier doesn't mean I push whatever pays most. I personally travel with my own kids on the trips I recommend — the same resorts, the same ships, the same tours. If something isn't worth your money, I'll say so, because my business runs on dads coming back for the next trip.
What "complimentary" actually includes
"Free" doesn't mean "thin." When you book through me, the commission the company already set aside covers all of this:
✓ Trip research and quotes matched to your kids' ages and your budget
✓ Booking, dining reservations, and ride-strategy planning handled for you
✓ Price-drop monitoring — if your trip gets cheaper, I rebook you at the lower rate
✓ A real person to call before and during the trip when plans wobble
The only thing I ask is that you book the trip through me. Same price either way — you just get backup with it.
