Apply to Join the Mom Approved Travel Team
Mom Approved Travel is seeking motivated individuals to join our team of Travel Professionals who love travel, details and helping families make memories!
Have you been thinking about becoming a Disney Travel Agent, Theme Park Travel Advisor, Cruise Planner or All-Inclusive Resort Specialist?
You are not alone.
Many of our advisors started as passionate Disney fans, Universal Orlando regulars, cruise lovers or All Inclusive resort enthusiasts who were constantly asked:
“You should be a travel agent!”
But loving travel and being a professional are to very different things. At Mom Approved Travel, we build professionals who discover a career where their passion for travel meets purpose, helping families plan unforgettable vacations.
Chances are, you found your way here because someone said you would make a great Disney Travel Agent, Travel Planner, cruise planner or perhaps you have been dreaming about becoming a Travel Agent for years.
What It Means to Be a Mom Approved Travel Advisor
Mom Approved Travel began with one simple belief: moms deserve a vacation too. What started as a small agency helping families plan Disney vacations has grown into a nationally recognized boutique travel agency specializing in:
- Disney theme parks like Walt Disney World and Disneyland
- Universal theme parks like Universal Orlando
- Disney Cruise Line
- Royal Caribbean & Celebrity
- Princess Cruises
- Sandals & Beaches Resorts
- Alaska, Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii & Europe family Travel
- Guided Tour and Group Travel all over the world
We are an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (EarMarked), a U-Preferred Travel Agency, Sandals Preferred Agency, proud members of ASTA and CLIA, and maintain strong supplier partnerships across cruise lines, theme parks, and all-inclusive resorts.
We are smaller on purpose so every advisor has the tools, guidance, and personal connection to succeed – not just a login and a commission split.
Our approach blends professional standards with genuine collaboration — because you deserve a team that invests in you, not just your sales.
Our advisors are trusted experts who protect clients’ vacation dollars and days. You’ll help families plan Disney magic, cruise adventures, Caribbean escapes, and epic theme park vacations, while running your own business under a proven system.
Who we are looking for
You don’t need prior travel agent experience.
You do need:
- Extensive travel experience
- Professional communication skills
- Organization and attention to detail
- A sales mindset
- Follow-though
- A passion to protect the value of client’s vacation dollars.
Ideal Fit for Mom Approved Travel
You might be a great fit if you:
- Love talking about Disney, Universal, Cruises, or All-Inclusive vacations like Beaches Resorts
- Care deeply about helping families find real value
- Can run your own business with structure and mentorship
- Have a coachable mindset
- Want to work from home with the support of a collaborative agency
- Understand that this is a responsibility, not a hobby.
I don’t want you to apply without considering if we are RIGHT for you, or if you are RIGHT for the industry.
Starting a new profession should not be taken lightly.
This may sound a little harsh, but if you are looking for a simple side hustle, this is not the profession for you.
Can you be a Travel Agent part-time? Absolutely, but there is a BIG difference between a hobby or side hustle and a part-time professional.
MAT Clients entrust us with thousands of their hard-earned dollars, and we take that responsibility very seriously.
You can work as a Travel Advisor full time or part time, but not as a pastime.
Opportunities for Experienced Advisors looking for a Host or Travel Agency
First, all Advisor submissions are confidential. If you have experience as a Travel Professional, we will always review an application and make room at our table if we believe the fit is a good one.
We understand all agencies are run a little differently, so it may benefit you to review what it looks like to be a Mom Approved Travel Advisor and some of the basic information about our agency.
We are smaller on purpose, and intentional with our IC and supplier partnerships.
Mom Approved Travel is a boutique Travel Agency that specializes in family vacations. We have a special passion for planning trips to destinations like Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Orlando Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, in the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe with incredible partnerships with destinations, tour operators and cruise lines.
Theme park travel is one of our core lines of business, but we are so much more, as cruising and all-inclusives, small groups, tours and FIT Travel is also part of our portfolio. We do offer a wide variety of suppliers in family and luxury travel and unique niches, as each Advisor is encouraged to find the niches where they thrive.
Maybe you came into this industry, and your needs have changed. Maybe you came into this industry and the support or environment wasn’t quite as you expected. Maybe you didn’t know what you didn’t know until you knew. Maybe you were told you HAD to sell supplier X, or maybe you just REALLY like hot pink.
- We work a little differently in a collaborative, TEAM environment.
- This is an Independent Contractor Position.
- As an independent contractor, you can work from home with a flexible schedule you set.
- We offer training and continual support.
- We are reliable and pay on time.
- We believe in making decisions and recommendations based on our CLIENT’S best interests- not our own, or a supplier.
- Our Agency culture is VERY important, and a positive, encourager, no-drama mindset is imperative to be part of Mom Approved Travel.
- We have internal learning, supplier training and FAM opportunities.
- We do provide leads, but you should come with your clientele. We will show you how to develop clientele beyond family and friends.
- We partner with most major cruise lines, all-inclusive brands, and tour operators. We’re an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (EarMarked), are a U-Preferred Travel Agency, and proud members of ASTA and CLIA
- Ethics and professionalism matter to us.
- You get out of it what you put into it, and will be solely commission based with fair and above industry average commission splits. You will set your potential.
We know you have more questions, and we will be happy to answer those in our initial call, or via email. We do not actively recruit from other agencies, but if are looking for a new home, you can absolutely apply.
We understand changing agencies can feel scary, but if you are a good fit we will try to make it as easy as possible for you so you can thrive. We have worked amicably with other agencies to transition IC’s to our agency, and have supported those who have transitioned from less than ideal situations as well. We have also recommended applicants to another agency we felt were a better fit elsewhere, because we believe in lifting the industry as a whole.

At Mom Approved Travel, we are Professional Travel Advisors – not Travel Agents
It may seem like a silly detail, but there is a big difference between being a Travel Agent and Travel Advisor. We use the terms interchangeably for consumers, but there is a very distinct difference. Several years ago, ASTA, the American Society of Travel Advisors began working on advocating the change of nomenclature as the industry role and responsibilities had changed to be so much more than than a transactional experience. In 2020, this distinction was made VERY clear.
The titles Travel Consultant, Travel Concierge or Travel Advisor are a much better representation of what we do versus simply a Travel Agent. This is not an easy career, and is one definitely not for the faint of heart – which is why it does not make a good “side hustle” or hobby. You are entrusted with investing a client’s hard-earned dollars into memorable vacations, and your clients deserve the respect a Travel Advisor will give. It looks easy on social media, but this career is not for everyone.
