Travel Agent Question

[12Dis15]

How do the travel agents get paid? I put a request out and had one agent make the initial booking and paid the deposit. Another agent returned the call after I did this and asked if she could be of further assistance and she offers additional services the first agent doesn't do. I don't want to be unfair to the first agent and she lose her commission, but could certainly benefit from the second agent who said they could transfer the reservation under her name. Help appreciated. Thanks!

Disney prices are the same across the board. They set their rates, and travel agents have a special website to go on and check rates, book guests, make payments, etc. That being said, you can simply check the package prices online and compare them to the rates the travel agents give. They should be the same pretty much to the penny. Disney then pays travel agents commission which is a % of the total trip cost. I would also compare the rates that both agents are giving you - if the agent who is offering all of the additional services is charging a higher price, she's adding money to the overall cost of the trip for the service of making dining reservations, etc. Hope this helps, and happy planning!!
