Called to book Soarin' Around the World Member Tour at DL

[helenk]

I called when MS opened but it was booked up. There are only 20 spots each week. I hope everybody else has better luck!

Only 20 spots each week, that is ridiculous. You would think since it's only available one day a week they would have a few tours a day.

20 spots!! That is crazy. I'll give it a try but won't hold out much hope. Thanks for the update.

We'll be there in December, hoping they still are offering it. I did call last week, and was also told about the 60-day window. The CM did say that it should be available for booking online, on MDE....

Isn't MDE just for WDW though and not much for DL? Would love to have the ability to book online though!

It's not really MDE, but you can get to other stuff from there. From MDE, at the top of the page you click on "show Disney.com" then click on "Parks and Travel" which brings up all Disney parks. Roll over "Parks & Destinations" and then click on Disneyland then, Parks and Tours.... There are tours that you can book online, and I'm guessing (hoping) that eventually this tour will be bookable there.

Just tried for August 3rd but had no luck

I called right at 9 am eastern and was able to book August 3. They did not say how many spots were left or how many were available.

I'm on hold with member services (25 minute wait time) trying to book. Wait is it true the tour is only held on Wednesdays?

I called at 9am and had an 8 minute wait, when I got through they were gone.

Only 20 spaces once a week seems a bit on the low side to me.

I was off the phone at 9:07 without tickets. I got through right a 9:00 am and was talking to an agent within 2 minutes of entering my information. The CM spent time trying to find the tickets but they were already gone.

Yes. Wednesdays only.

 

[CookieandOatmeal]

Omg!! I called exactly at 9 and snagged two spots for 8/17. So excited!!!

 

[seelyt2]

@CookieandOatmeal - I'll see you there! I called at 9, too, and got 4 spots for that same date!

 

[CookieandOatmeal]

@seelyt2 Great!! Hope the tour is as much fun as it seems. I'll be sure to say hi!

I booked the tour for September 7 for two of us. Anyone done one yet that could give a review?

Speaking of.....why do they not offer any DVC discounts for Disneyland tickets? I thought it was crazy that they only offered a $20 discount for Disneyland APs, but now it is zilch! Really irks me. And yes, I know perks should not be expected and that is not the reason that we bought DVC....but still, c'mon, throw us a bone!

I still see $20 off Signature Deluxe and Signature Deluxe Plus Annual Passes? Sure, a measly $20 ... but it is still there. FWIW, I'm sure glad I quality for SoCal pass pricing!

I guess I'll have to check again. Thank you!....and I'm very jealous of your discount!

Dang- I just reread your post and realized where it is the "signature" APs that get the discount. We just need the deluxe AP. Plus we will have to buy a 1-day ticket on top of that since I do want to be able to go on a blocked Sunday. I am okay with our second Saturday being blocked, but I don't want to have that many days blocked. And adding on a 1-day ticket would still be way cheaper than getting a signature AP.....of course....if they offered a 10-day pass, that would be perfect.

That's the change I dislike the most. 5 day tops and then back to a brand new ticket.

We have had to buy two 5 day passes to give us 10 days on our 12 night stay
