Walt Disney World ® Resort
Small World Vacations 19th Agent Education Program in Walt Disney World – Day Four
Day Four
On the last day of our program, we traveled to Port Canaveral for a tour of the Disney Cruise ship, the Disney Fantasy. The Atrium Lobby of this ship is classic and beautiful.
With Flapper Minnie Mouse looking on, we captured an agency photo on the sprawling staircase.
Onboard, we visited the children’s spaces — Oceaneer’s Club, “it’s a small world” nursery, Vibe, and Edge — along with the theaters, lounges, pools, fitness center and Senses Spa.
We also peeked into all the dining venues, including Animator’s Palate, Enchanted Garden, Royal Court, Palo and Remy.
After enjoying a delicious buffet lunch at Cabanas, we toured several different category staterooms, including inside (magical porthole with real-time views), oceanview, verandah and concierge cabins. It’s always a treat to tour this beautiful ship which, starting in 2025 will sail mostly 3- and 4-night Bahamian itineraries, and will head to Europe next summer!
That evening, our last evening together, we were treated to a bucket-list experience. We gathered at a private room at for a very special guest speaker, Ashley Eckstein. Ashley is the voice of Ashoka Tano in the Star Wars franchise, and the founder of the fashion label, Her Universe. She spoke to our agency about her own personal story of getting to where she is today, and how positivity and resilience were invaluable to her.
Afterwards, Ashley joined Small World Vacations for an incredible private “Alice in Wonderland” themed dinner.
As we entered the dining room, we truly entered Wonderland! The immersive theming was spectacular, with larger-than-life tea cups, kettles and saucers, lighting and flowers that created a magical atmosphere.
Each table was decorated with colorful tablecloths, items from the movie including clocks, card and flowers, and a personalized menu just for Small World Vacations!
We were served a decadent “five chapter” meal as we mingled and took selfies with the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and Alice herself! And throughout the meal, we conversed with a talking Doorknob.
It was a wonderful ending to our 2024 Agent Education Program.
While all of this research can be enlightening and fun for our agents, the most important aspect of our annual program is how our experience benefits YOU.
