Have you used the Plaid concierge guide service?

[twodogs]

We are thinking of trying this one day for our next trip. We will be a group of 6, my husband and me, our kids ages 7 and 9 and my parents ( very fit and active, can move about parks easily at our pace). I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on how much you can feasibly accomplish in about 6-8 hours with this human fast pass? We are aiming to hit all 4 parks in one day, riding the headliners and maybe some meet and greets that have FP. We have some who want the big coasters and some who favor more tame rides. I assume the guide can only be at one ride at a time but can they then take the rest of the party to a near by other ride?

I've searched the Dis and haven't found much about this service. We are doing the hourly guide, not one of the pre-set packages since everyone wants to do different things. We plan on eating CS for lunch to save time.

What is the option for priority seating at end of day fireworks or show? I've read some guides set this up for you prior to the end of their day? Do you choose what event or is it just the last park you're in for the day?

Any help is appreciated. We've been saving up to do this so I want to make the most out of it!

I haven't ever heard of Plaid? Is it a special company?

I'm thinking she's referring to this https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/vip-tour-services/ since they wear plaid?

I though she misspelled paid, but that could be it too.

Hi Twodogs!!
We used a "plaid" on Christmas day 2013. She was awesome. I believe it would be more than possible to go to all four parks. They provide transportation (they will pick you up anywhere onsite. We met out plaid at AK cause we had an early tusker house breakfast. We started the clock after breakfast. Why pay for them to watch you eat?) and take you in via backstage areas. One of my most treasured memories is seeing my DDs face when the balloon guy came out totally loaded up just off of Main Street.
We made a list of what we wanted to hit in each park and went from there. We concentrated on DHS and MK. Again it was a 10+ day so that slowed us down.
I'm not sure if things have changed but she couldn't get us in to M&Gs. We had to use our fastpasses for those.
We didn't split up cause it was just myself, DD, and my mom. She did go through the lines with us cause she had to show her special FP thingy at the second checkpoint.
The seats for the parade were a disappointment (the only of the day). Nowadays the FP area would be much better. We were over by the barn where the parade ends.
When you book they will act like a personal IPO so make sure to take advantage of it. They are super nice!!

Sounds kinda selfish to me.

Yep, "plaids" is a term used to refer to Disney CMs who lead the VIP tours.

I understand you want to make the most of it, but 4 parks in 6 hours with 2 young children, I think it'll be a lot of rushing, If you take into account the travel time. If I would ever have the money to do this I would like to take my time a little to enjoy the service. I would think to take at least 8 hours or more for this plan.

When are you planning to go?

 

[twodogs]

Mesaboy2 your memory is amazing!!

Thanks for all of the replies. I was referring to Plaids, as that is the clothing the guides wear around the park, per my reading. We are going in May, and I just saw a new thread about someone's recent experience with this service. I'll put the link here and post other comments on that thread.
