And then once Disney approves you, you will be set up to sell travel through them. Now, I want to put in one more disclaimer. It's important to consider insurance. This is why you should work through a Disney EarMarked agency, like Vincent Vacations, that holds travel insurance.
It gives you that peace of mind, and ensures you have everything available through your errors and omissions insurance.
Now, once you're registered with Disney, here's the good news. Technically, you could start solid at this point and you're going.
If you really know Disney, backwards and forwards, and you've been booking trips for friends and family for forever, you technically can go onto their travel agent site. They're going to turn on your log ins and you could start booking vacations on the travel agent system. It will track your commission and then the commissions are then paid to wherever you told Disney to send your commissions to when you filled out your paperwork.
But there are going to be some other things I really recommend before you start selling that are important to make sure you're set up for success. 
Is this even worth your time? But regardless of when you get set up with Disney, you're set up to sell. You've done those steps. That's what this is all about.
And it's important that you know this before making the decision if it's right for you. The first one is they don't really teach you how to be a travel agent. They don't teach you how to prescreen. People have conversations, and our itineraries do all of the things that you have to do as a travel agent. Disney just expects that you're going to figure that out or you've gone to travel school or you you have some experience.
They don't help with that part of it. They will help you with product, right? Learning about what they have to sell, but not the how-tos of how to be a travel agent. They're also not going to teach you how to go out and get your own clients. You have to think, you're running a business now, you're signing up for this endeavor and you need to focus on getting Disney clients.
You should recognize that you're only going to get so far booking your own trips and booking for friends and family. If you want to make this a real life changing business, you have to know how to get clients. So learning how to be a marketer in the online space is really key for you, and marketing is the lifeblood of your business.
These will be your those responsibilities. Learning about how to be a travel agent, how to attract clients, how to get real marketing in place, how to operate in the online space, these are your responsibilities.
