*Your first lesson: “Disney Travel Agent” is not an official title and is frowned upon in the travel agent community. We are Travel Agents (or Advisors) Specializing in Disney Destinations. While everyone else you know will call you a Disney Travel Agent, you my friend, should not in any official capacity. Nomenclature is extremely important when representing the Walt Disney Travel Company.

With that first lesson out of the way, let me ask you a few things…Do you find yourself constantly daydreaming about walking down Main Street USA, Cinderella Castle in the distance, with the smell of popcorn in the air and the sound of joyful laughter all around you? Do you spend hours planning imaginary trips to Walt Disney World, meticulously plotting out every detail from dining reservations to Lightning Lane selections? If you’re a Disney enthusiast like me (OK let’s call it obsessed), you understand the hold that Disney destinations have on your heart and the longing to return time and time again.

Imagine a life where you turn your passion for Disney vacation planning into a fulfilling career. A world where you get paid to plan magical vacations and help families create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
