Earmark status

Earmark status is a designation that Disney gives to agencies when they meet certain sales criteria. Many some clients perceive Earmarked agencies as more “official”. It can be a great marketing tool and differentiator. 

We are proud to have achieved Earmarked Status with Disney. Destinations Magic is working hard to meet the minimum sales goals set by Disney to achieve that distinction. With that comes sales goals which we need to meet each year to stay in the program. Your hard work and cooperation is important to the agency to help us meet the minimum sales goals set by Disney to achieve that distinction.
