The Grand Opening Ceremony
As aired via livestream, Disney set up a special ceremony on the grounds just outside the entrance to Disneyland Hotel.
The 2023-2024 Disneyland Ambassadors, Nataly Guzman and Mark Everett King Jr., kicked off the ceremony with lots of energy.
Next, Bill Dierksen, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Disney Vacation Club, shared his excitement about the introduction of The Villas to Disneyland Hotel.
Dan Coleman, the General Manager of Disneyland Hotel, said, “Today, we start a new chapter.”
