Can someone tell me who's done the tour around the time it ends? It's supposed to be 2 hours but I am thinking it's really 12:30 when all is said and done.
Yes, it's supposed to be 2 hours, but my family just did it in January, and it ended around 12:40. If you're planning something right afterwards, I'd be on the safe side and wait until 1 p.m. or later. You do a lot of running around on that tour; you may want to rest a bit before moving on!
As a frame of reference, I made an ADR at the Palace for 12:30, after the FMT, and we didn't get there 'til 12:40. The bonus for being late is that we were the 100th guest of the day at the Palace, got our picture taken with the Mayor and a free sundae.
