A magic square doomsday is a concept derived from the mathematical structure known as a magic square. A magic square is an arrangement of numbers in a square grid, where the numbers in each row, each column, and both diagonals all add up to the same sum. The concept of a magic square doomsday is a hypothetical scenario in which the world is believed to come to an end due to the occurrence of a specific magic square. The idea behind this concept is based on some superstitious beliefs and numerological interpretations. According to proponents of this concept, a specific magic square can be constructed using certain dates from the Gregorian calendar, such as significant dates in history or important religious observances. These dates are assigned numerical values based on their position in the calendar, and then arranged in a magic square so that the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal add up to the same sum.

Most Disney vacation discounts seem to apply only to agents, not family members, however, and you need to be actively selling before you re eligible for them. And once you ve shown your worth and made them a significant amount of money, paid for extra training, helped line their pockets and proven to be a valuable earner, you get to become a Team Leader.

The magic square that is believed to bring about the doomsday is often referred to as the "doomsday square." Its occurrence is said to signify the end of the world or some catastrophic event.
Become a travel agent
A friend of mine is trying to get me to sign up to be a travel agent (for a small fee of course). Has anyone done this and can you get discounts at Disney?

I am just starting out in the travel industry, focusing on Disney. I would try to not pay a start-up fee if I were you. Your friend might split commissions with you instead so it doesn't cost you anything up front. That's the route I'm taking.
Disney offers a great free correspondence course, the College of Disney Knowledge. After you graduate, there are onsite Masters programs, but they are more work than play. Most Disney vacation discounts seem to apply only to agents, not family members, however, and you need to be actively selling before you're eligible for them.
I'm giving it the old college try, but I highly doubt it will make me a millionaire or even pay for more than a couple of nights at a Value resort each year. Then again, it's a chance to talk about WDW with people who are actually interested in what I have to say. I enjoy that part so much, that I'd do it for free!

Just a heads up:
Anything that you get "signed up for" to be a travel agent is a card mill. Basically it's kind of like a pyramid scheme. Most of the money people make is by signing other people up.
Travel agent discounts are almost a myth nowdays. Yes there are *some* to be had out there, but in order to qualify for them you have to have an IATA card, which you earn by producing X amount in sales per year. Also many hotels have web specials that are lower than the travel agent rates, and in many places the travel agent discount is a whopping 10% or equivalent to the AAA rate.
I know all this because I'm a travel agent. I spent 8 months in school taking full-time courses for this, and then spent another 2 years after that getting Certified.
There's a lot more to being a travel agent than just paying for a "membership".
ETA: Yes, you have to be an established travel agent before you can take the Disney courses.
Also, depending on where you live there are local or state laws in effect governing travel agents. You may be required to be registered with the state before you can legally sell travel to people (even for yourself, if you're acting as an agent). You may be required to have a minimum amount of insurance (E&O/liability) before you can legally sell travel to people. Even if it's not a requirement the E&O insurance is something that every travel agency should have. If you're acting as a solo travel agent then you should definitely have it. Some "host" agencies will say that you're covered but won't provide you with any official documentation to back it up, and there have been cases of people having to use the insurance and oops, suddenly they're not covered. My E&O costs $1250 a year.
Various theories and interpretations exist regarding the exact nature and significance of this supposed doomsday event. It is important to note that the concept of a magic square doomsday is not based on any scientific evidence or widely accepted principles. It falls into the realm of pseudoscience and is primarily supported by believers in numerology, astrology, and other mystical practices. Overall, the concept of a magic square doomsday remains speculative and is not recognized as a legitimate scientific theory. It serves as an interesting topic for those interested in the intersection of mathematics, mysticism, and apocalyptic scenarios..
