Here at VacationLab, our mission is simple. We help travel advisors grow, succeed and enjoy what they do. We are one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, and we got here by staying transparent, offering support and giving our advisors the tools they need to shine.
Below are the three pillars that make VacationLab such an amazing place for travel agents worldwide.
Once you join us, you will have access to weekly team meetings, our legendary Advisor Academy and calls with other travel agents. Have a question? You can schedule a call with the CEO at any time and he will be happy to help you. Our sister website, Famvia, also provides more than 3,000 free guides, reviews and FAQs from the most popular travel destinations in the world, which will support your growth and help you build a strong client base.
VacationLab offers new webinars and courses every month that are created just for you and remain available for life. We also have a social media wizard (hi, Sofia!) who will be happy to set up a call with you. All of this is here to help you get started and develop your expertise in the way that works best for you.
We do not charge entry fees or monthly fees, and we never will. At VacationLab, you start at a 70% commission split and it only goes up from there. We pay on time, stay transparent and make sure your contracts and payments are always clear and straightforward.
Pixie Vacations charges $100 to go through their training program and also has various charges for access to email and booking platforms. These are not outrageous fees compared to some other agencies for sure... but it is something to think about as you begin your career in travel.
Compared that to VacationLab where our Advisor Academy is free for all of our advisors, no annual fee and we cover your email costs as you build a travel brand with us!
Pixie Vacations has built a thoughtful brand family: Pixie Vacations for Disney, Universal Family Vacations, Griswold Family Vacations and Pixie Honeymoons. They've acknowledged the limits of a Disney-only focus and tried to extend around it which is unique in the industry.
At VacationLab, Disney, Universal, cruises, honeymoons, family travel, luxury and all-inclusive are all part of one advisor toolkit, one AI planning tool and one 80+ partner network!

VacationLab has zero entry fees and no monthly costs. Zero. Nothing. Nada. You don’t pay to join us, and we are more than happy to help you succeed as a travel agent and build a strong client base. As we said before, your success is our success, so we always have each other’s back. We also pay on time, and any questions about contracts or payments can be discussed with the CEO whenever you like.
Pixie Vacations' commission structure is not publicly disclosed. New advisor splits and volume thresholds are most likely shared only during onboarding.
At VacationLab, we keep things simple and transparent. Every travel agent who joins starts with at least a 70% commission, and experienced agents can earn even more. With time and a growing client base, you can increase your earnings up to 90%, all with no entry or monthly fees.
Pixie Vacations offers their Pixie Academy Master Class as a structured training program alongside Disney-focused resources including the College of Disney Knowledge certification process. Specific topics are not disclosed online.
At VacationLab, we offer over 30 hours of self-paced courses you can watch online, along with monthly courses, weekly team meetings and webinars covering a variety of topics. We also provide specialized courses, like social media-focused training, and you can always set up a call with our CEO, our social media expert, or other travel agents.
Pixie Vacations has built a community around their brand with strong social media presence. Advisor community specifics beyond the public-facing brand presence are not publicly outlined.
Being a travel agent should be fun, and you should know who’s part of your family. At VacationLab, we have a private Slack channel running all day and team calls more than once a week, with the CEO present and ready to answer your questions. You can also set up calls with our content creator, social media expert, or fellow travel agents. Need a guide focused only on luxury resorts at Disney World? Talk to us, and we’ll get it done in no time so you can share it with your guests. After all, we’re here to help each other.
Pixie Vacations and their sister brands maintain destination blogs and SEO content across their brand network. This content supports the agency family's visibility but is not a tool individual advisors own or control directly for their own client marketing.
VacationLab does things differently. We have a sister website called Famvia that is entirely dedicated to travelers and content. We offer more than 3,000 free guides, reviews and FAQs covering the most popular theme parks, cruises and beach resorts in the world. Have a client who wants to go on a Celebrity Cruises vacation? Send them our planning, dining and room guides, most of which are around 2000 words and packed with helpful information and details. We also have curated reviews of top cruise ships, resorts and theme park rides, with ratings and clear pros and cons for each one. Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure received a perfect 10 out of 10, and the same goes for Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios. Curious to see what else earned a perfect score? Well, we will not spoil that here.
Pixie Vacations does not list any perks or opportunities on their website for new advisors or experienced advisors to level up.
At VacationLab, we offer not only the best experiences for your guests, but also the best benefits for travel agents. You have the opportunity to access special deals for your guests and save on your own personal travel. On top of that, we run giveaways from time to time and offer a perk called Tier Skip. Every month, we select three special travel suppliers, and you can earn bonus commission and prizes when you sell them. For example, if you are earning 70% commission and the travel supplier of the month is Disney World, selling Disney World vacations could give you 75% or more in commission. Yes, that’s definitely a great way to boost your income!
