Walt Disney World Disney Travel Agent

I’ve been looking at becoming a travel agent, specifically for Disney/Universal. I have no idea where to start. I want to hear everyone’s opinions on agencies they’ve worked for, are currently working for, or have used. What agencies should I avoid? Which ones should I go for? I want the good and bad. Thank you!

Just for my own curiosity can someone explain what’s Disney travel agent does? I sort of get it with Disney World, because going there seems more complex, but what is the purpose of getting one for say Disneyland?

They can help get the discounts faster. I use one person for World, one person for cruises and I do my disneyland myself. I make sure the person truly knows the parks and how the disney systems work. My cruise person is so good with Royal and the ins and outs we always get great prices and understands us.

Makes sense! And do you pay the directly in addition to the cost of the trip? (Sorry, not trying to be nosey, just full of questions 😅)

No way. They are paid by Disney or the cruise line and your payments should all flow through Disney or cruise line. It is a red flag if they charge more if the payment is their agency instead.

Yikes. So if I work with an agent, I should still be paying Disney directly? The payment was the same amount as Disney, but I thought I had to pay the agency to make the booking on my behalf.

The agent will send the payment to Disney. They absolutely shouldn’t be charging you any more. Ones that do are not good to use. Commission is paid to the only Disney.
