Anyone who has done the VIP tour....

What did you ask to do? PS for which events? PS for food?
Stuff like that....I have a VIP Tour booked and now have to figure out what we want to do and what we can ask to do (I already know about the attraction rule).

Thanks

i had F! (second balcony, no longer there), Remember.. (train station), DEP (near end of route), Block Party Bash (but opted not to use it).

i really only had her take me around DL and point out stuff I didn't know or keep forgetting about and what had been new since the last time I was there.. and to copy off her castmember reference guide

We asked for PS for Fantasmic! (two times ), the Christmas Parade and EP. We also had it for Block Party, but ended up missing it. We didn't ask for the PS for the fireworks, since I heard the spot isn't that great. We got PS ressies for the ESPN Zone, which ended up being great since it was the day of the BCS championship game and the placed was booked solid. We ended up in one of their private parties!!!

Don't forget to ask for a ride on the Lilly Belle! That was very special. If you or anyone in your group likes to meet characters, let your guide know. We never had to wait for autographs or photos, which was a big plus with my kids!! Oh, and if you're with kids that would be interested in Jedi Training, they can help with getting picked. Our guide would run for Fast Passes for us while we were on rides, saved a table for us at Jedi Training and got supplies to make a sign to help my son get picked.

Kailua's Belle - thanks for all the information and tips about the VIP tour. The more I read about this great service, the more convinced I am that we need this!

And just to be clear...
Any or all of this is included for the one low price of a minimum of $300. for up to 10 people?

The tour hours don't have to be during the times that you are requesting PS for?

So what is the optimal plan?

Schedule tour on a non early entry day, at say 9-1. Request all the priority seating that you can make, then have guide take you through park, telling you all the insider secrets, stopping to go on favorite rides, sending guide to get fast passes while you do so, meeting characters with no wait, facilitating seating for Jedi, and perhaps billy hillbilly show??. Ending your tour with PS for perhaps an early parade, the fireworks, and the 10:30 fantasmic show? Could they also get PS for say Crush, and Aladdin?


If that is correct, I think this VIP tour is the best kept secret at DL.

doesn't have to be during your tour, doesn't even have to be same day most of the time.

and yes, $300 for up to 10 people. i did it just for myself and it was worth every penny.

none of these seatings include food though, so F! is just the viewing spot, no desserts

they really can't guarantee anything, but there is something they call the 'power of the plaid'.. for example, even though you can ask to ride in the pilot house of the mark twain just being a typical guest, it probably didn't hurt when i had the tourguide ask for me. at character meet & greets, it looked like having the guide had an edge too, as when the end of the line was already closed, i'd be able to get in.
