Disneyland Launches Web-Based Resources for Planners, Attendees
September 09, 2008
Disney's Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., has introduced a suite of Web-based tools for meeting planners and attendees that it says will make it easier to book and manage group travel.
Developed by Disneyland's convention and group reservations team, the new Internet-based tools include a special online reservations system—created by Quincy, Mass.-based Passkey—through which meeting planners can book and manage hotel room blocks, as well as track in real time their reservation status. Other features, meanwhile, allow planners to access theme park information, purchase theme park tickets and preview Disneyland's special events and services.
Upon booking a meeting, planners can access the new tools in the form of a Web site that's customized for their particular event, featuring its unique dates, hotel information and event news. They can then forward to individuals a link to their event-specific Web page so that attendees can easily access resort information and event updates.
"Our goal with this new online suite was to create the best of both worlds," Robert Donahue, director of resort sales and services for the Disneyland Resort, said in a statement. "The hotel reservation capability brings time-saving convenience to planners and attendees. At the same time, other features like the online ticket store and resort information help ensure that attendees can take advantage of all that Disneyland Resort has to offer."
