Where did these agents go that made them totally freak out?

The happiest place on earth, that’s where.

And boy did agents go nuts for Disneyland! From rides and attractions to Minnie Mouse ears and parades, Disneyland has it all.

The agents onboard The Travel Corporation’s Great Escape mega famil have reached their final destination of Los Angeles to spend a little time together with Creative Holidays.

All 100 and something of them.

Agents from the Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Contiki crews were reunited in the City of Angels to see what the glamorous city has to offer. And first stop was Universal Studios.

Agents raced around to board 3D Transformer rides, the movie studio tour, Jurassic Park log rides, and much much more. After exhausting themselves trying to see everything they could, it was time for a spot of dinner. L.A. Tourism hosted the agents for a tasty feed at the Hard Rock Cafe, before leaving them to their own devices to explore the city.

And then, the next morning, it was time. Around lunchtime, agents hopped aboard coaches to Anaheim and the happiest place on earth. Agents were treated to a Reception at Disney hosted by their representatives – Rick Youngman (Travel Industry Sales Manager Asia-Pacific) and David Clark (Head of Travel & Business Development – Australia & NZ), before they ran wild through both Disneyland and California Adventure Park, exploring exotic jungles, meeting fairytale princesses and sailing with pirates.

At the close of the night, agents were treated to the ‘World Of Color – Winter Dreams’ and then, tired from a day of magic, boarded the coach to return to their hotels before another Creative Holidays day.

In the morning, prior to wrapping up The Travel Corporation’s Great Escape famil, farewelling new friends and heading home aboard Air New Zealand, agents had one more fun activity in store.

Split into three groups, agents experienced a VIP shopping experience with coupon booklets and transfers from the hotel and to the airport, a hike around Hollywood Hills with ideal photo opps, or a hop-on, hop-off style tour bus around the glorious city of Los Angeles.

If you missed any of the TTC action, check out all the gossip here, here, here and here, or head over to our Facebook album that’s just brimming with awesome snaps of all the agents on tour.
