Raina Williams, Disney Travel Industry Sales Manager commented:
"We were thrilled to host the TDC group at Walt Disney World Resort. We are confident the delegates returned home with the knowledge and expertise on how to market and sell a Disney vacation that creates lasting and magical memories for their clients and our guests."
The participants were equally impressed with the week’s activities:
I feel very privileged and honoured to have been invited to participate in the first ever TDC Training Academy at Walt Disney World. I have never been on such a magical and emotional Training Academy. We truly got to experience the Magic that is Disney. They went above and beyond all of my expectations.“ ~ Andrea Balson Carr – Marlin Travel
