Most Disney travel agents don't charge you a fee to book a Disney vacation package, because Disney pays the agency a commission. You pay the same price you'd pay booking directly with Disney. Fun Park Go doesn't charge any fees at all: no planning, booking, change or cancellation fees.
Some agencies do charge fees for certain services, though. Here's how Disney travel agents are paid, when fees can show up, and what to ask before you book.
When an authorized travel agency books your Walt Disney World, Disneyland or Disney Cruise Line vacation, Disney pays that agency a commission. It's built into Disney's pricing, so the cost doesn't get added to your bill.
Disney's own planDisney panel puts it simply: an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner's services come at no additional cost to you, and you pay the same amount as if you booked it yourself. Disney now calls these agencies EarMarked by Disney – Authorized Travel Agency, and they show an "EarMarked by Disney" logo with a level such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond.
Fun Park Go is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and a Universal U-Preferred agency, and we never add fees.
No. It's the same price for the same package on the same dates. Disney sets the price whether you book with Disney or with an authorized agency. An agent can't sell the same package below Disney's rate. Where an agent can save you money is by finding discounts you qualify for and checking for new offers after you book.
Agents can't sell below Disney's price, but they can apply the same public Disney discounts you'd get booking direct. Discounts you qualify for, like Annual Passholder, Magic Key, Disney Visa or Florida and California resident offers, still apply when you book with an agent, as long as the offer allows travel agent bookings and you meet its rules. Tell your agent up front so they can price it correctly.
For a Disney vacation package, usually nothing. Commission covers most Disney package bookings, but not everything earns a commission, and some agencies choose to charge for their time. Here's where fees can show up in the travel industry:
None of these are bad on their own. The key is that any fee should be explained clearly before you pay anything.
Fun Park Go doesn't charge any fees. Here's what that means:

The package price is the same as booking direct. You can save when your agent finds a discount you qualify for or applies a new offer after you book.
Yes. Disney pays authorized agencies a commission on the trips they book. It's built into Disney's prices, so it doesn't cost you extra.
The same commission model covers Disney Cruise Line, so the cruise fare is the same as booking direct. Disney Cruise Line's terms do say certain agents may keep an agency cancellation fee, so ask. Fun Park Go doesn't charge one.
You pay the same fare, and you get someone to track your deposit and final payment date (90 or 120 days before sailing), look for offers you qualify for and help with onboard plans. If you already booked direct in the last 30 days, you can usually transfer your Disney cruise to a travel agent.
No. Fun Park Go doesn't charge planning, booking, change or cancellation fees. If you change or cancel, only the supplier's own policy applies.
It's a travel agency Disney recognizes for its Disney expertise. Disney now calls the program EarMarked by Disney – Authorized Travel Agency.
Usually, yes, if the offer allows travel agent bookings and you meet its rules. Tell your agent which discounts you have.
Some can. Disney Cruise Line's terms note that certain agents may keep an agency cancellation fee. Fun Park Go doesn't. Your cancellation follows the supplier's own policy.
