Celebrate Your Dream Job
Nuts & Bolts of Disney World
•Planning Magical trips for families from the comfort of
your home!
Disney World Training• Disney World is like no other travel
destination• It must be planned correctly, or
your client’s trip will be less than it should be
• Well planned trips equal repeat clients and referrals, and more cash in your pocket!
Rooms & Packages• Room only means
just that…only a room reservation
• Packages are at least two components: room and tickets (at least one day)
• A dining plan may be added to a package, not room only
• Room only reservations require one night deposit upon booking, the balance is due upon check in
• Packages require a $200 deposit upon booking, balance due 45 days before travel
• Insurance• Ages 2 and under
must be counted in room but are + (4+, 5+)
Options• My Magic+• Magicbands• Fastpass+• Memory Maker

Dining Plans• Quick Service• Table Service• Deluxe• When it is a good value and when it
isn’t• Based on # of nights, not days• Can only get with room AND
tickets (at least one day ticket)
Disney Tickets
Key to the World(Magicbands in testing)
What to choose• Base tickets versus Hoppers• Water parks and more• How many days?• Commission on tickets (nothing on
less than 3 days)• What if your client only wants
tickets (for example, if they have a timeshare)

How to treat dining• Disney has over 100
restaurants• They are sold out almost
all of the time• If your clients have the
table service dining plan, they should make reservations equal to their number of sit downs.
• If your clients have the Deluxe dining, they should make two reservations per day
• You cannot stress enough that they NEED reservations
MUSTS:•Assume you
will make your client’s dining reservations•Make them
anyway, even if they say they want to “wing
it”•Remind them
of any cancellation
policies•Include infants
on any reservations
