What does it mean to be a Disney Earmarked Agency? I’m taking you behind the scenes of the Earmarked Summit at the Disneyland Resort. As the owner of Outer Rim Travels, I’m honored to be among the select agency partners invited to discuss the future of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and Nat Geo Expeditions.
