No-Cost Planning
Our planning services are provided at no direct cost to you. We are compensated through commissions from travel suppliers when you book a vacation through our agency. You pay the same price as booking directly with the supplier — there are no additional fees for using our services.
2. Commission Disclosure (FTC Compliance)
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Disclosure
Smart Dad Travel earns commissions from travel suppliers (including Disney, Universal, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and others) at no additional cost to you. Our recommendations are based on your family's needs and our professional expertise, not on commission rates. We are legally and ethically obligated to disclose this business model under FTC guidelines.
This commission-based model is standard in the travel industry and allows us to provide expert planning services free of charge. Your booking price is the same whether you book through us or directly with the supplier. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept this business arrangement.
