I just booked 3 tours for the next trip

[foxfire]

This will be our first time going on tours but we wanted to try some new things. I hope we enjoy them!

The tours are --

*8:30 am Around the World Segway Tour.

*8:30 am Keys To The Kingdom Tour.

*9:00 am Yuletide Fantasy Tour (this one will be on a non-park day)

We will be there 10 days so we spread it out to have 2 - 3 days between tours. I hope that was good planning.

And a question -- if you have been on the early tours, did you drive yourselves to the park, take a taxi, or were you able to ride a Disney bus & arrive okay without being late?

What is the Yuletide Fantasy Tour? I've never heard of it!

What is the Yuletide Fantasy Tour? I've never heard of it!

I found it listed under General Tours at http://www.allearsnet.com/btp/tours.htm#yul

I posted the description below.There are also some reviews there from people who have taken this tour. I thought it sounded interesting.


DISNEY'S YULETIDE FANTASY

Almost magically, Walt Disney World Resort transforms into a holiday headquarters complete with millions of sparking lights, larger-than-life Christmas trees and miles of garland. Guests take a behind the scenes peek at that magical transformation in Disney's Yuletide Fantasy, a 3-hour journey into the holiday history of Walt Disney World Resort.

Guests take guided tours to theme parks and resort hotels, learning stories about the themes of the Yuletide decorations and how Disney elves transform the parks and hotels into an annual winter wonderland. Disney's Yuletide Fantasy is open to ages 16 and older (guests under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult), and theme park admission is not required.

The program is $59 per person, NO theme park admission required.

10/04, Margaret Weatherford reports: I called WDW tours to ask about the Yuletide Fantasy tour. In 2004, the tour is available from November 29 to December 24, so it isn't available Thanksgiving weekend or between Christmas and New Year's. It is still $59, lasts about three and a half hours, leaves from Epcot at 9:00 AM every day except Sunday, and does not require park admission.

SkipperBubba and I were thinking about trying to book this one on our December 5-11 trip. My question is this: Is this tour one of those included under our Premium Package umbrella, or are we going to have to spring for it separately?
Thanks for any info,
