Tiki Room Travel Commissions and Fees
Tiki Room Travel offers several different levels for agents. We require a certain level of experience in order to advance to higher levels. You will always be allowed to upgrade to a higher level once you meet the requirements, no need to wait. If you wish, you will also be able to downgrade to a lower level at any time.

A few notes on about Tiki Room Travel:
- Typically, the commission on Disney vacations is 10% of the net amount of the vacation, Disney does not pay commissions on taxes. If you book a $5,500 trip for a client, and $500 of the trip is taxes, Disney will pay Tiki Room Travel 10% of $5,000, so $500. If Tiki Room Travel receives a $500 commission for you, you will keep the percentage that is assigned to your level. If you are level 2, you would keep 60% of the $500, or $300. Obviously, the higher level you are, the higher percentage you keep.
- The initial fee is only required once when you first sign up with Tiki Room Travel. When you move levels, you do not pay that fee again, there is no fee to change levels (other than the increase in monthly fee as listed above).
- If you book a personal trip (a trip in which you are traveling), you will keep 100% of that commission rather than the percentage assigned to your level. Personal trips do not count towards advancing levels.
- Commissions are typically paid to Tiki Room Travel 5 – 7 days after your client travels (Disney Cruise is an exception and is paid once your client is paid in full). Tiki Room Travel currently pays commissions monthly, so any commissions paid to us will be paid to you on the first business day of the next month.
- In addition to the monthly fees listed above, you will be required to sign up for our online tracking system and pay them directly. They have 2 plans, one is $10 per month, and the second is $25 per month. You can sign up for either level and switch between them at any time. This will be covered during training.
- There may be other fees incurred, but these are very rare and will be covered in the contract.
- While Tiki Room Travel does receive quote requests via our website, you will be expected to find the majority of your clients via online or in-person marketing (this will be covered during training). Quote requests are optional to receive and will be limited to agents Level 2 and above.
Are you ready to become a Tiki Bird?
Please fill out the form below. We like to ask you a few questions before we proceed (and it is likely you will have questions for us too). Please include as much information as possible.
Please note: Tiki Room Travel is not hiring you for a job. There will be no salary, no benefits. If you decide to join Tiki Room Travel, you will only be paid commissions that are earned by selling Disney and Universal vacations. As noted above, commissions are typically paid out after your client travels, so it may be quite some time before you are paid commissions in this “job”.
We try to get back to your submissions as soon as we can, typically within a few minutes. We like to sleep too, so if you contact us at 2 AM, you are going to have to wait a bit, but we will get back to you.
