Frequently Asked Questions about Disney Travel Prep
Agent Prep Program FAQs
While some agencies will have destination visit requirements, not all do. If you are strong in your knowledge and confident in your ability to sell the one product, there is no reason why you couldn’t. You just may have to look around a bit for the right opportunity. But this program will provide you with critical foundational knowledge on all domestic Disney destinations.
No worries, the Agent Prep Program is a complete-at-your-pace online educational course that you gain lifetime access to when you enroll. You’ll engage in and complete the lessons on your time. While there are live chats with the instructor, they are recorded so anyone unable to be present can watch the replay. There is no “behind” in Agent Prep!
This is actually a huge myth! There is no certification required to be a travel agent. What is required is know-how in terms of planning, customer service, interviewing, marketing and selling. That is what you will have after completing this course. No, this course does not “certify” you as a travel agent, but you will receive a beautiful certificate of achievement upon completion of the program!
Disney’s Earmarked status is a designation exclusive to travel agencies, not individual travel agents. This program is not associated with the Walt Disney Travel Company in any way (my lawyer made me say that). Completing this program will provide you with education and skills that an Earmarked agency should find appealing for novice agents to possess.
No, there is no guarantee of a job at the completion of this course. That is entirely up to you to make happen. I do, however, guarantee you will be prepared for an interview and for the position of Travel Agent Specializing in Disney Destinations, if you’ve done all the work as outlined in the program. I’ll say it again, I guarantee you will be prepared.
You should never stop learning and there will always be opportunities to learn more. Disney is ever-changing. Specifically relating to your question however, most agencies will have a training period specific to their operations. So yes, you likely will have another round of training once you get signed with an agency. Additionally, you’ll go through the College of Disney Knowledge.
Once you enroll, you will have immediate access to the Introduction Module and Module 1 will be released on June 27, 2022. The subsequent modules will be released on a schedule as covered inside the program dashboard. Once modules are released, you will have lifetime access to all the materials. Access to the Bonuses listed in your offer will be granted upon completion of the program. This program is AT YOUR PACE on your schedule.
It means as long as the instructor is alive and well, the company is still in business and the course is active, anyone who enrolled in a program will have access to that program indefinitely and all of its subsequent updates. We do not charge for updates unlike many other online courses.
You must be at least 18 years of age to sell travel. There is no age limit. I’ve had students range from 30’s to 60’s! However, being able to communicate effectively and relevantly via social media networks is essential in today’s market. If you aren’t comfortable on social media, this likely is not the path for you.
You can only enroll in the College of Disney Knowledge once you are with a travel agency. While it’s fun to go through and educates agents on the Disney “products”, it does not AT ALL even touch on how to sell, service guests, market and grow your travel business. In fact, it was after I went through that course that I had the idea for creating the Agent Prep Program as I quickly saw there was clearly a need for this type of training and I have 25+ years of experience in advertising, marketing and graphic design in addition to make 10+ year career in Disney travel.

There are quite a few that we discuss in the program. However, in order to reap the benefits, you must reach a certain sales goal. The “perks” are for those who whistle while they work hard at building their business.

Social media marketing is essential to growing a successful business today. This likely is not the right path for you.
