Disney Travel Agent:

Are you already the go-to person for Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Vacations? Maybe becoming a travel agent with an emphasis on Disney holidays might be a nice job for you. Let’s start by addressing some language. Most individuals would say I want to know how to be a “Disney Agent”. However, in reality, you are a specialized travel agency.

For instance, you may become an at-home agent with a focus on Disney trips. You don’t work for Disney Travel. That would suggest you are working for Disney. You are helping visitors plan a Disney vacation as an independent contractor in most situations and working with an agency that sells Disney Destinations.

Sure being a Disney travel agent can be fun, but this is a job:

Acquiring knowledge about the ins and outs of Disney destinations requires time and dedication, much like any other career. Working from home as an agent with a focus on Disney trips could be a terrific fit for you if you have a network of connections and strong sales abilities.
Advice on how to start your at-home agency with a Disney focus.

Travel:

• My first recommendation for folks who inquire, about how can I become a Disney Agent, is to perform online research. You are already off to a good start by reading this article. The reason you want to study up on Disney travel agent qualifications is because there are lots of possibilities and you want to start your career off on the proper foot.
• You should seek a travel agency that specializes in Disney while considering which one to join. We refer to these as Earmarked companies. The initial step is to simply locate an approved agent; after that, you should do more research.

A travel agency is not always a suitable fit just because it is Earmarked. Regretfully:

 

• Working as an agent from home can expose you to companies that won’t pay you. Scams by agency owners who want to keep your commissions and never pay you might be common in this field. This is not meant to frighten you. All I want to do is steer clear of this.
• Is a travel agency the correct choice for you? How can you tell? Examine online reviews and comments, speak with an agent on your own Disney visit, and inquire about the agency from them. During your interview process, a few calls or emails to some of the agents at the firm who aren’t getting paid will reveal this red flag.

Additional inquiries to make when applying to work as a Disney travel agent:

1. Commission splits will vary amongst agencies. The majority of agencies operate by paying you a certain percentage of the commission after you book the client’s Disney vacation and after they return home. There are agencies with a 50/50 split and others with more. Because each agency is unique, take a look around.
2. Additionally, being an agent is about more than just splitting commissions. Find out what kind of training the agency owner offers. Are the agency’s agents invited on exclusive agency trips in exchange for a vendor fee? Existing resources and assistance from other agency agents?
3. Would you like to sell anything besides Disney? Only one product may be sold by agents at certain agencies. Seek out a company that lets you expand and discover new places if you wish to provide cruises or honeymoon packages. Your customers won’t desire to visit Disney World annually. When your client chooses to travel outside of Disney properties, do you want to pass them off as your own?

Travel:

I would also search for a long-standing company. You want to be sure they will be around for years to come, have successful agents, and have systems in place. If not properly managed, Disney agencies tend to appear and disappear rapidly. Check to make sure they have been in business for as long as they tell you. You can go to Whois and type in the website name to check how long they have been around.

Does the travel agency have the seller of travel licenses?

• It’s crucial that the firm that you partner with to promote Disney trips truly possesses a seller of licenses. It would only make sense that a firm offering would have the proper licenses, but most do not. You will find two numbers at the bottom of the agency’s website “CA Seller of # and FL Seller of #.
• It would look somewhat like this: CST 1111111-11 | Fla. Seller of Ref. No. ST12345. If neither number appears on the travel agency’s website the agency can not advertise in the USA on the internet, Facebook, Social Media, in print, or anywhere that a resident from FL or CA might see any posts or information.
• If the Florida sellers of travel numbers do NOT start with ST, that agency is not registered to sell to Florida residents. Make sure you decide to join an agency that specializes in Disney vacations and is licensed.

Is the travel agency a good fit for you?

Travel:

• After you have researched all the licensees, checked to make sure the agency is earmarked, spoken with clients and agents, and looked to see how long they have been in business,
• I would also look at how the agency does with selling Disney vacations. Are they a top seller of Disney vacations (Platinum or Diamond level)? All agencies start brand new at some point but you probably want to hit the ground running with Disney vacations. Ask yourself if the agency is a good fit,
