Turning Dreams into Bookings: Disney’s Data makes Magic A Reality

The Challenge

Disney holidays are magical, but the booking journey wasn't. With families browsing an average of 70 pages to make a successful booking, complex digital journeys were causing abandonment. For most families, a Disney holiday is a once-in-a-lifetime emotional and financial commitment and the complexity was killing conversion.

The Strategy

For most families, a Disney holiday is a once-in-a-lifetime emotional and financial commitment and the complexity was killing conversion. So, the team set out to measure the decision-making process.

Execution and Innovation

By scoring visitors based on online behaviour and intent signals, the team built a model to predict who was ready to make their family's dreams a reality, making Disney's own first-party data the engine to optimise all digital media with high precision.

Results

New booking funnel entries surged 270% (DV360), bookings soared +380% (Meta), and revenue jumped +665% (TikTok). A 40:1 ROI on the cost of the project.

Judge's Verdict

"A standout initiative, transforming complex behavioural signals into a scalable intent model that got into the mind of the customer."
