Travel Agent Discounts?

[Pixie Power!]

Im not sure if this is in the place, so someone move it if it isnt please.

My friends are going to WDW next year, one of which is a travel agent and she has heard that if she takes her business card with her that she may be able to get some discounts on tickets ect. Does any one know if this is true so i can let her know. If so what and where and how?

Thanks

I know a travel agent can get a discount off her room due to her itata card but with the tickets I have no idea.

I went to WDW with a travel agent a few years ago, and although we enjoyed significant savings on our lodgings, the only ticket discount she received was on her own pass (which she purchased somehow before we left.)

Your friend the travel agent should consult the travel agent section of WDW's website or your friend's place of employment.

I am a travel agent, and I can tell you that besides the agent themselves, no one else
gets a discount on passes. Me and my DH are going in October, and I paid for my husbands
pass the same price as everyone else.

yes we as agents get a discount but no one else.

If your friend calls 1-800-900-9000, she can request a fax with information regarding travel agent ticket discount prices and also can complete a form that she can fax back with her ticket request.
I'm a travel agent and will be at WDW next week. I was able to purchase a 5-day Park Hopper pass for $121(about 1/2 price) and also was able to get a $38 rate on ASMu, as September is Travel Agent Appreciation month.
As for my wife and kids, no discounts were available on tickets thru Disney, but was able
to save about 5% thru my local AAA office.
Hope this helps!
