Hey guys, i'm from Montréal (Quebec, Canada) where I think the market for specialized and personalized french language Disney travel planning and booking is highly underserved (as far as I am aware of). I am currently finishing up my Masters degree in online marketing and I will definitly have more free time on my hands soon enough. It has always been a dream of mine to become a certified Disney travel agent and i'm beginning to think that this is something I could pretty much do as sideline. I would love to get the training necessary to acheive the official certifications offered by Disney. My idea would be to register my own company, create a blog and a website along with an email booking system. Through this website and via email, I could share my knowledge of Disney trip planning with potential travelers and offer them complete packages along the way.
My profile :
32 trips strong (WDW mostly) with vast knowledge of pretty much every hotel (stayed in and visited all of them) and restaurant on site (having tried and reviewed most of them). I know every park like the back of my hand and I keep up to date with daily news pertaining to Disney parks and entertainement (even though I do not post much, I read this website and forum daily)

My questions :
- What is required in order to become a certified Disney travel agent
- Do I absolutely need to undergo the courses and classes necessary to become a certified travel agent in Canada? If so, can it be done online?
- Did anyone here go through this process? Would you be willing to share your experience?
