We caught up with Personal Travel Manager Tanya Barker who has not only booked many Disney holidays for her clients, but is an avid Disney fan who has been to every Disney location around the world. Here is what she had to tell us.
A: All of them, 8 in total.
A: Hong Kong Disney, Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, Shanghai Disneyland, Paris Disneyland, Walt Disney Studios Park California, Disneyland Anaheim, California Adventure Park and Disneyworld Oralando.
A: All up, over 50 times and I’m not finished yet.
A: Tokyo Disneyland. I lived in Tokyo and went about 10 times in one year.
A: Disneyland Anaheim, I was only 7 years old at the time and was magical.
A: I have sailed on the Disney Wish from Port Canaveral to the Caribbean three times and on the Disney Wonder from Australia three times. I am booked with another avid Disney PTM on Disney Adventure ex Singapore in Nov 26.
A: I have stayed at many Disney Hotels around the world including Aulani in Oahu, Grand Floridian, Port Orleans French Quarter, Boardwalk Inn, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation & Caribbean Beach Resort all in Orlando. Along with Grand Californian and Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Ambassador, Mira Costa and Celebration Hotel. Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. In Paris the Disney Newport Bay Club and Hotel Cheyenne.
A: I don’t really do many rides these days when I go to the parks. You can just enjoy the shows, characters, shopping and the atmosphere on Main Street and in the various lands. There are also rides that are very family friendly that are truly magical and won’t get the blood pressure too high. I also recommend the Walk in Walts Steps Guided Tour at Disneyland.
A: I have been to every character dining offering at all parks and hotels – my highlight being Napa Rose.
A: Last year, we were very fortunate to get an invitation to dine at Club 33 @ Disneyland – this was a bucket list item for me.
A: So many to choose from at each park and place and I have to say I’ve tried a lot the treats from classics to the quirky.
A: The biggest eye opener for me was travelling to Disneyland Anaheim in a wheelchair after an Achilles reconstruction. We were treated like royalty and looked after so well on all rides.
