Two agents give the lowdown on their Magical pride experience

Both Marsh and Walton agree the event was very well organised, with a high level of security. It is also suitable for all ages, making it a strong sell for families or mixed-age groups.

“I just love Disney and still find it so magical at any age. I became a young girl again. I didn’t stop smiling all day,” says Walton.

Other agents can sell the event by focusing on the perks of visiting the park after hours. “After dark the park looked even more magical with The Tower of Terror illuminated in Pride colours, and we also had the opportunity to ride the attractions at night,” says Marsh.

“Attending Magical Pride is a great way to visit the park after hours. There are fewer queues and experiencing the rides in the dark is thrilling,” agrees Walton.

Hotel product is also of a high standard, and just a short stroll away from the main park. “We stayed in a standard room at Disney’s Newport Bay Club hotel, which is near the park. I would highly recommend this hotel to customers, as the rooms are a good size, with plenty of choice at the buffet breakfast, which is served from 7am – giving you lots of time to make the most of those magical hours in the park,” says Marsh.

Convenience also ranked highly, as getting to Paris from London is simple for clients, with a no-fly option.

“It’s so easy to get to Disneyland from anywhere in the UK – just hop on the Eurostar from London,” suggests Walton.

Both agents were keen to promote Disney and its products to clients after their experience at the Magical Pride event. “I want to tell the story of Disney, both on social media using lots of photos, and also in the office using visual materials like banners and flags,” says Walton.

“Our agency uses Facebook Live and I streamed live three times from the event. I want to create a video blog so people can find out more about the event and the parks. I’d like to showcase videos of the rides too,” she says.

Marsh adds she is keen to spread the word about Disney to clients. “I will look forward to promoting future LGBT events at Disneyland Paris to my customers.”

The power of face-to-face selling was highlighted by both agents, who agree that customers always value hearing about agents’ own personal experiences over any promotion on social media.

Marsh says: “It’s always easier to promote an event or destination to your customers if you’ve had first-hand experience of it, and you can guarantee no one does an experience better than Disney!”
