I am not rich but I seriously do not consider $299 to be a stratospheric price. People pay that much for concert tickets and stage shows. Considering what's offered for the tour, I believe it has value.
Ah, but if I buy my tickets from UT I can get 5 day park hopper tickets for the cost of 4 day...so we could plan it on our free day...at least I could sell it to DH that way We did a VIP tour(not the WDW one ) through a guy who worked at WDW for years. He got us in the park before RD, knew pretty much all the workers and even has some special furry friends there...but the best part was all of the fun facts he shared about the park.

And now we begin charging for additional FP+. Let's see...10 rides $300+tax! that's about $30 per ride per person (after taking out lunch). And people will thank Disney for letting them do this.
I hope when they expand selling additional FPs individually they are less than $30 per pass. On the other hand, they might be more, then Disney can tell us how we are saving money by buying the package! Brilliant, just like the DDP.
Seems like a VIP viewing of Wishes would have been a great addition
Wow! Nearly $2k for a family of 4 for one day seems like a lot!
I actually feel bad for people that have to do this....

Whereas the GAC was being abused by "private tour guides", local residents with APs and multiple bands might be able to make this work "legally".
Only thing is the APs are still linked to finger prints. Unless it is a kid having issues they ask for ID to match to the name coming up on file before they will reset your finger scan

Since the guest has to have their own admission to the parks, that's 3 FP+ right there. Then, if one were a local resident with their own AP, that would be three more FP+s. All one would need to do is to load up the AP of a spouse or siblng with 3 more FP+s, and let a paying customer use all 9 FPs during the day.
