Episode 003 - "Commissions and Fees"

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 18:10:50 -0500

How do travel advisors get paid — and does using one cost you more? In this episode of Travel with Emily, I explain how travel advisor commissions and planning fees really work and what they mean for your vacation budget.

We talk about why booking with a travel advisor costs the same as booking direct, the value behind planning fees, and the personalized service you receive when planning Disney vacations, cruises, Universal trips, and custom travel. I also cover Wave Season cruise deals, current Disney promotions, and wrap up with a fun Haunted Mansion Disney history tidbit.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a travel advisor is worth it, this episode is for you.
