Disneyland Training with FTJ Advisors

Fairytale Journeys Travel Advisors

Fairytale Journeys Travel an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner arrived at Disneyland for agent training, team building, and park fun. All in order to learn more about disney destinations to better serve our clients.

While Disneyland and Walt Disney World have many similarities, there are also many endearing differences.

Disneyland opened in 1955 and is the original park that Walt Disney built. When it opened it had 5 themed lands and 20 attractions. My how it has grown over the years…there are now over 60 attractions (the largest number of attractions for any Disney theme park). In addition, there is now California Adventure which as we learned is 100 steps away from Disneyland Park. California Adventure spans 72 acres of Pixar and Marvel fun!

Some of our favorite features at Disneyland

  • No buses, everything is easily walkable
  • History/nostalgia is everywhere…there is a continuously burning lamp in Walt Disney’s apartment (located above the fire station on Main Street), you can also see the bench Walt sat on when he first imagined Disneyland
  • Character interactions are abundant and often you’ll find them walking the parks
  • Splash Mountain is single rider, while Space Mountain is double rider
  • The ease of FastPass using the MaxPass feature which allows for same day scheduling

We were excited to hear more about Marvel Land, coming in 2020, and Pixar Pier, opening June 23rd.

Disneyland Resorts

Disneyland offers three on property resorts, Paradise Pier, Disneyland Hotel, and the Grand California. All are within walking distance to the theme parks and Downtown Disney. This is great when you have little ones in a stroller or could use a mid-day nap, for your little or yourself.

When staying on property you also get the benefit of Magic Morning early admission. This extra hour in the selected park is a must do!

Disneyland would be a great destination for a first taste of Disney or as an alternative destination for the seasoned Walt Disney World veterans who want to change it up.

Consider this west coast destination for your next magical vacation.

SUSANNE HAYS

My love for Disney began when I was a young girl, and my parents took me to Disney with my brothers for a boy scout trip. During High School, I attended Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, AL, where I was a majorette in the band. We were given the opportunity to perform at Magic Kingdom during one of their parades, which was a dream come true and such an honor to have been chosen. Walt Disney’s vision was to dream, believe, dare, and do. I think this is still true today!

I began my travel experience at another home-based travel agency, where I learned about the travel business. During this time, my love for Disney and the magical experience Disney offered became the focus of my travel business.

The many years of experience in sales and the importance of customer service, loyalty, and dedication for every client to have a magical experience is when Fairytale Journeys, LLC was created. For the past 20 years, my family and I have visited Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani. I enjoy helping others plan their magical vacations to WDW. I give each client the personal service that they should have. I ensure everything is taken care of for their magical vacation from the beginning of the reservations to the end. That’s why it’s so important to book with a travel agent so that you can receive a personal touch on your vacation.

I am here to help my clients with dining reservations, itineraries, travel arrangements, and most of all, dedication to making sure that each of my clients receives the best price for their magical vacation!

I have an undergraduate degree in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to Steve Hays from Huntsville, AL, and we have two boys, Wilson and Garren Hays.
