Dreaming of the Disney days gone by when the Walt Disney World lines were not so long?
Well, I have a solution for you! Walt Disney World and Disneyland offer a private VIP tour where you are truly treated like royalty for the day. Your dedicated guide will escort you around the parks that you wish and walk you on the attractions with virtually no wait. VIP guests enter attractions and shows through the fast pass lines. The fast pass line wait times average between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the attraction and timing of when you arrive compared to the fast pass holders. You can ride the rides as many times as you would like.
You can hop from park to park in a van driven by the VIP guide. The guide will alert the van to where you are finishing up in the park and it will be waiting in a backstage area as close as possible to where you are located. You are then driven to the next park of choice and you enter through a separate entrance to save the time of going through the main gates. Magical!
The guide will offer snacks and bottled water each time you transfer in the van.
It is possible to visit two, maybe more, parks per day. Consider hopping park to park to do those must do attractions that always have the longest wait times.
I did a private VIP tour last February and one of most enjoyable parts was that our guide was well versed in Disney history. He added in historical facts about Walt Disney World along the way. We also enjoyed watching the fireworks in a special roped off area.
This is what you need to know about the Walt Disney World private VIP tour:
*The hourly rate is approximately $425 to $600 per hour, depending on the season. Major holidays are considered peak season and have the highest rates.
*Book your private VIP tour here and mention this post to be sprinkled with magical extras to use during your special visit!
*One guide can accommodate up to 10 guests. Consider sharing the service with another family for the day to split the cost.
*There is a 7 hour minimum. You can add hours on the day of service if you are not ready to turn in after 7 hours.
*Special seating at shows and dedicated viewing areas for fireworks can be part of the tour.
*Gratuities are accepted. Guides may accept tips but there is no expectation and no standard percentage mentioned.
*The cost of the guide’s meals are covered by Mickey so the guests should not feel obligated to treat their guide to meals and snacks.
*Baby on board? No problem! Your travel agent will know to request appropriately sized car seats for the children if you are using the private car service to hop from park to park.
*The private VIP service is a wonderful celebratory gift for a family member’s birthday, anniversary or graduation.
