You definitely don't need to be one of the Disney World bloggers or Disney World bloggers either, though a lot of them would be great candidates for the job!

Thank you for sharing this informaron. I am now a Stay At Home Mom and looking to find a way to be a bit independent and still contribute some how monetary wise to our household. You have honestly encouraged me to look into becoming a travel genie 😊. I know being a SAHM is a job on its own but I can see myself still being excited doing this job and fulfilled. I’m the planner In our family and plan everything down to what outfit everyone wears during our entire trip tenure 😂 my husband thinks I’m nuts. Currently finalizing plans for our august ‘23 WDW trip 🙌🏼

You have encouraged me to really go after what I want. I opened up the application about halfway through the video! Then you said that we have to have been to Disney post-Covid. 😣 Does Disneyland Paris count?! Joking, of course...but man, this definitely has me wanting to book a couple of vacations and maybe a cruise to fit the criteria. Thank you for sharing this information, especially about "finding your person!" I'm so excited to start my journey as a travel specialist. Maybe one day I can be a member of an amazing team like Friend Like Me Travel Co. 💕

Hi- is there a difference between large and small agencies? I interviewed with 2, one of each kind and the larger(1000+) seemed to have more benefits, but I like the idea of a small group to get to know and a training class.

Really considering career choices for my future and I typically am really crazy about places like Disney and universal. I saw your video from two years ago recently and I'm more enticed by this type of job. Do you have any advice for considering being a travel agent as a career choice? (I'm a junior in highschool).

Thanks so much for making this video! I've been thinking of becoming a travel agent as a part time, second job, and this has been hugely informative! Does your travel agency work with Canadians?

At this time, we only work with US-based agents, but I know many Canadian agency owners and would be happy to help you get in touch.

Do you know when you will be opening up the application to become a Genie ? By the end of the year I will have helped 7 families plan their Disney vacation, and I have done it for free. It’s just been close family friends and members of our extended family who have asked me to help them. They all know I don’t have the experience or work as a travel agent, what they know is I love Disney and travel often to Disney. The joy I feel when I have helped them plan gives me pure joy and excitement. I love when they come back and I get to hear and see how their vacations went and the memories they created.

Did you get on our waitlist? If so, you got an email from us last week! We are doing a very small hiring round right now and need everyone fully onboarded the first week of January.

If you don’t have a lot of travel experience, can you still be a travel agent? For me I’ve lived in Florida and I’ve been to WDW hundreds of times growing up and have a lot of experience with that but not so much Disneyland, cruises, etc. because WDW was most accessible financially to me. Do you have any tips to start off with for people who would be absolute beginners?

@HappilyEverAbby 7 ай бұрын

For my team, it's important that you've experienced things as a guest, not just as a local! So we require overnight hotel stays. You get a much different experience as someone staying at the resorts than you do when you drive home at the end of the night. Other agencies surely have different requirements, but for us, the true travel experience that comes with staying on property is super important! Even if you can just get on property for the weekend a few times a year will really help!

Hello! Thank you for all the information! This might be a stupid question but if you are considered an independent contractor does that mean you can have your own business name or would your company name be the agency you’re hired under like “friend like me travel co?”

@HappilyEverAbby Жыл бұрын

This depends. Friend Like Me Travel Co. is an Earmarked agency and as such, Disney requires all of the agents to use the Friend Like Me Travel Co. name!

It can be three Walt Disney World trips! But it can also be 1 Disney Cruise and 2 Walt Disney World trips, etc.
