Agents share Magical Moments

THE first agent selected to enjoy an incredible Disney100 mega famil to the Disneyland Resort California for her ‘Magical Moment’ is Perth-based Flight Centre agent Kelsey Waddington ( inset below), who described her satisfaction at being able to assist a client who had been involved in a terrible accident that left him paralysed from the neck down.

“His list of requirements and needs for a successful journey home to be with his family were extensive, and I spent many days, dozens of phone calls, and my own nights and weekends to ensure that his journey was smooth and successful,” Waddington said, adding that as someone who had been kept apart from her family during the pandemic, it meant the world to be able to help someone reunite with their loved ones.

The next star agent selected was TravelManagers’ Michelle Woodsford ( inset right) based in Craigieburn, Victoria, who scored herself a spot on the Disney famil by helping her client Justin organise a special marriage proposal trip to Disneyland.

“Justin got down on one knee in front of the castle! The wedding was also Disney-themed and his wife Megan is now obsessed with (and secretly I know Justin loves Disney too),” Woodsford beamed.

“They now have a little boy Hudson, who is always dressed as Disney and Marvel Superheroes, I call him their ‘Disney baby’ and they are just getting me to cost a trip back to Disneyland to take Hudson for the first time this Sep,” she added.

Finally, the third of the lucky trio to enjoy some Disney magic is MTA Travel’s Melanie Sherry, who recounted the time she paid for a special photo session at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando out of her own commissions to ensure a group celebrating four different birthday milestones would remember the holiday to the United States forever.

The Newcastle-based agent also ordered her clients a special Mickey Celebration Cake to mark all of their special occasions, stating the clients were “blown away” by the gesture.
