I have to agree being a Travel Agent is a LOT of work. I have been a TA for 20 years and have seen lots up and more downs with the travel industry! myself one day would love to be a Disney Agent but I know its a lot of work. I work as a after-hours agent now and believe me I work on the harder side of Travel. Travelers stuck and needing help.
Hi, I'm new to all of these forums for Disney. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought that I would give it a shot. I am a junior in high school and have an interest in pursuing the job of being a Disney Travel Agent. I know I can't get a specialized Disney...
I have been thinking about becoming a travel agent for some time now and we recently just got back from our very own Disney vacation and lets just say it didn't go as planned and the agency we used was no help what so ever. All I can think about right now is if I was a Disney travel planner I...
Disney does not have travel agents, per se, just cast members who answer the phone and help with reservations. Anything they can do via the phone you can do through the Disney web site, including ticket purchases.

These also used to be an outlier in that they could only be used on certain days (right around the event in question so you couldn't stock up for other trips).

They wont have the best deals, and they'll take a significant cut but it'd get you started. Google 'become a disney travel agent' and most of the ones that offer it come up. It is a hands-off approach for most of them. You don't get a salary or anything like that, just a cut of the commission once they get paid.
2) become an independent contractor for a host travel agency (could be Disney focused or not) - you are NOT an employee, you are paid on commission only, the agency gives you an IRS 1099-Misc form in January for you to report your income.
The biggest reason I book through a travel agent that specializes in Disney vacations (NOT an agent from a random local travel agency or AAA). . . The day free dining was released I sat down to breakfast and had already received and email from my agent that free dining had been added to my trip an I was all set!
