Disneyland VIP tour!

[steppingstone]

We had our annual trip to Disneyland (love it!) Jan 12-14 2011. I can only say that I WISH we would have done a VIP tour sooner! ugh. But, better now than later, right? We decided to hire a 3rd party VIP tour service, caviptours.com, instead of the Disney owned VIP guided tours. It was much less expensive than Disney and I can honestly say, I will never come back without them!!! Our VIP guide worked with us before we even arrived in California, going over our needs, our must see "stuff", dining options. OH! He made all our dining reservation according to our itinerary...so nice. I felt so at ease. I DO have to admit I was a bit leary of having some stranger hanging out with us during family time, right? Once we met, that went away. He was so sweet to all of us. We were greeted by our VIP guide at our hotel and ushered over to California Adventure first. EARLY! I'm not a morning person, but our guide insisted on getting there early and Im glad we did. It was SO nice not to have to "think" while in the park. He had our itinerary all planned out and we got to see SO much more then just winging it. He got us all our fastpasses and we rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes on any ride. THAT was worth the money right there. Last time we rode like 3 good rides because of the hour long waits. This time we not only rode all the rides we wanted, but my kids wanted to go back and ride a second time...so he sat us down and we had a glass of wine while he took the kids on a second round of Turtle Talk with Crush, Soarin' and Toy Story. Soarin' was awesome by the way. The second day was much of the same...relaxing while being guided around Disneyland. We rode everything we wanted to ride in 5 hours!!!! Did I metion I wish I would have known about them 7 years ago?! We had some wonderful memories at Disney with our family. Thanks in part to our VIP guide, Andy.
