First & possibly only trip - Welcome tour or not?

[TulipsNZ]

We are coming from New Zealand for our first & possibly only Disneyland trip. We are wanting to make the most of it obviously. Now I have learnt a lot from these boards, prior to this I had no idea about Fastpasses or ADR's etc.
Is the Welcome to Disney tour worth the time? What rides are likely to be done?
Thanks

If I remember right you are visiting on September (or October) when it won't be as busy, personally I would not devote 2 1/2 hours of my time for it.
However it is only $25 per head and it does give you if I remember the review correctly, 2 rides + 2 additional FP's plus reserved seating at Aladdin (some please correct me here?)

How many days are you planning on visiting?

We are there 24th-29th Sept with 4 day park hoppers & MHP tickets.

Well that changes things, they don't do the tour on our first day. Thanks for the link

Hey there,
We are NZ Disneyland fans, and I can tell you that the best thing you can do is subscribe to touring plans. Then pop the app on your phone, it gives current ride attraction waits and fastpass times, plus gives you expected crowd levels for each park every day. Rather than wondering about where to go and what to do, follow their plans or make personalised ones, that will save you heaps of decision making time, plus time waiting in line. Mornings and evenings are least crowded, I recommend getting there before opening, use your Magic morning if you have one, then take a nap during the most crowded part of the day and come back in at night. Have heaps of fun!
