Hong Kong Disneyland Welcomes 5,000 Delegates in First Ever Park 'Buy-Out' Event

Hong Kong Disneyland recently welcomed 5,000 delegates from the Charle Group, a leading Japanese garment manufacturer, who enjoyed a private evening of fun, fantasy and adventure at the theme park.

The event, held on February 28, 2007, marked the first Park “buy-out” for Hong Kong Disneyland since celebrating its grand opening in September 2005.

Hong Kong Disneyland is rapidly developing a reputation as a MICE venue of choice in Asia having been the stunning backdrop for small to large scale events for companies such as AXA, Li & Fung Limited and ZTE Corporation.

Hong Kong Disneyland Vice President Sales and Travel Trade Marketing, Josh D’Amaro said, “The resort’s capabilities in producing high quality events have created an unrivalled edge which attracts international clients looking for world-class service and entertainment.

“Our Convention Sales & Services team respects the culture and practices of each client to ensure that all requirements are met. The Disney Difference is all about creativity and innovation - it is about the dedication and the commitment of our Cast Members to make every dream event come true. Our Cast Member’s creativity and their ability to creatively tailor the evening to the needs of the Charle Group ensured that the event was a great success.”

For the Charle Group, hosting their event at Hong Kong Disneyland meant that their delegates could enjoy the rare opportunity of experiencing the park on their own, which included riding the classic Disney attractions, and watching Broadway-style shows such as the popular Festival of the Lion King and the Golden Mickeys as well as Mickey’s Philharmagic and Stitch Encounter.

Throughout the evening, the group was treated to special entertainment performances including a juggling and drumming show by the “Jammitors” which was produced by the Entertainment Team at Hong Kong Disneyland, as well as meet and greets with loveable Disney characters throughout the Park.

In order to ensure the Japanese guests had a magical experience at the Park, all announcements and communications were in Japanese, with Japanese-speaking cast members flown in to deliver the exciting commentary on the Jungle River Cruise.

A special highlight of the event was when the Charle Group President, Ms Yuko Mitsuya, appeared in the finale of the night parade down Main Street U.S.A. in a convertible car, the first time an executive has appeared in “Disney On Parade” at Hong Kong Disneyland. The parade was also the first night parade ever performed in the Park.

Charle Group President, Ms Yuko Mitsuya said, “The Charle Group places great importance on rewarding our delegates, and we felt that a special evening out at Hong Kong Disneyland would be a perfect way to thank our team of 5,000 for their dedication to the company over the past year.

“We selected Hong Kong Disneyland to host our event as it offers a unique experience that spans the worlds of fantasy, adventure and innovation – truly something for everyone at whatever their age.

“We were impressed by the professional levels of service that Hong Kong Disneyland offered and the sales team’s creativity in accommodating our special requests. I’m sure that every delegate had a most enjoyable evening and a time that they will never forget.”
