Maagang sinundo ng van ang mga media at ilang social media influencer na magkokober kasama ang ilang kapamilya nito sa ika-28th anibersaryo ng Enchanted Kingdom sa mismong opisina ng EK sa Ayala, Makati City. Ang mga sumundong van ay mula pa Sta Rosa Laguna, halos 12:00 ng tanghali pa lamang tumulak na papuntang laguna ang mga ito, mag- 1pm pa lang nasa EK na ang grupo.
Ang programa ng ika-28th anibersaryo ng Enchanted kingdom ay nakatakdang magsisimula ng alas 4:00 pa ng hapon. Ang mga media at social media influencer na maagang dumating mula Maynila at mga local media at vloggers na mula sa Region 4A ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na magsamasama at ikutin ang buong EK para maranasan at masaksihan ang kakaibang experience na bihira ng maranasan ng maraming pamilya.
Layunin ng EK sa maagang pagsundo sa mga media at social media infuencer, na muling masaksihan ng mga ito ang kakaibang karanasan partikular doon sa mga media at social media influencer na dati ng pumupunta bago pa man magkaroon ng pandemic sa bansa. Kumpara kasi dati, ngayon sobrang dami na ng ipinagbago ng EK, at may mga dagdag na silang kagamitan na magpapasaya sa mga pamilya na pupunta sa EK.
Ang karanasan na hindi ko makakalimutan sa tanang buhay ko: Habang paikot-ikot kami ng aking pamilya sa loob ng Enchanted Kingdom Taong 2006, sabay-sabay kaming namasyal ng aking maybahay kasama ang apat naming mga anak, sa dami ng tao napagkamalan ng panganay kung anak na may 17 taon ang edad noon, na ako ang nagwawalis sa loob ng EK, ang sabi pa nito sabay hawak sa kamay nong nagwawalis, Daddy bakit ka nagwawalis dyan, na hiyang hiya matapos na lingunin ng taga walis sa EK, hahaha…
Bilang family business ng pamilya Mamon, pinangunahan ng magkapatid na Anna Mamon-Aban, Business Development & Digital Transformation Chief, at Nico Mamon, Organization Development and Corporate Planning Chief ang nabanggit na pagdiriwang. Ang magkapatid na sina Anna at Nico mismo ang sumalubong sa mga media at social media influencer at iba pang mga bisita na dumalo sa nasabing okasyon. Dito ikinuwento ng magkapatid ang sinapit ng EK sa panahon na nasa ilalim ang bansa ng Covid-19 Pandemic.
Sa ngayon unti-unti na umanong nakakabawi ang Enchanted Kingdom, matapos ang mahigit na tatlong taon nasa-ilalim ang bansa ng Covid-19 Pandemic. Masayang ibinida ng magkapatid na nakakabawi na sila sa ngayon at mayroon na rin silang empleyado na umaabot sa 600 pataas ang bilang. Umaabot na rin sa bilang na 10,000 hanggang 15,000 ang mga pumupunta at dumadayo sa EK araw-araw, dagdag pang sinabi ng magkapatid.
