How much does it cost me
to have you design my custom trip to Disney?
Another good
question! And I think you might like
this answer. If you book through me,
Disney pays me a commission. In fact, my
business model currently calls for 90% of my income to come through those
commissions.
Disney charges the same
price no matter how you book. They
either pay me, or pocket the commission.
So, no extra is tacked on to use my services.
However, after we have
made some preliminary decisions about your trip, I will ask for a nonrefundable
deposit. (This is separate from the
deposit Disney asks for.) This will be
applied to your last payment. However,
if you cancel or change your mind, it becomes nonrefundable.
But wait, what if
something happens and you can’t take your trip?
If you can't go at the scheduled time, I try to reschedule it for a time
that works better. This prevents you
from losing your deposit with both me and Disney. As long as we aren’t within the 45 days prior
to your trip. If we are, then Disney
will charge a change fee.
Now, what about when you
have already booked directly with Disney and need help customizing your
trip? Disney has already pocketed the
commission they would have given me, so I will charge a fee for the rest of the
planning. Very reasonable. This also works if you booked off site, like
a condo or staying with a friend or relative. Or, if you booked with me, and your friend booked online or off site, I can still customize the whole trip, for a small fee from your friend.
