I am definitely a rookie at Disney and with three kids (5,7 and 9) I wanted this to be a magical trip. My husband surprised us with 6 hours of a VIP guide. I was annoyed that he wanted to spend the money but truly we can afford it. We have never enjoyed Disney more! Compared to our other days touring the parks and figuring out fast passes and timing, it was hands down the way to go.
She picked us up at our cabin at 3pm and we told her what we had seen and what we wanted to do. Animal Kingdom was on the top of our list so we started there. She drove us behind the scenes right to the entrance of of each ride and then right into the fast pass line. My daughter loved the Rapids so we got right into the fast pass line again. For any water ride she held our bag.
After we were done with Animal Kingdom we went to Hollywood Studios because we were unable to get a fast pass while we were there the day before for Toy Story so we parked right outside the ride and jumped in the fast pass line.
Then onto Epcot where we quickly jumped on Soarin.
My daughter was all about seeing the princesses so we went to MK and got into see the princesses and then Mickey and Minnie. Then we jumped on Splash Mt and headed to the Electrical Parade where we got front row seats. We were greeted by many of the characters as they walked by and Cinderella wished my daughter a Happy Birthday from her float.
Overall we were able to go on everything that we had misses in our previous day and a half in the park. Since we have only been to Disney once before we were able to see just about everything on our list in a very short amount of time. We will definitely be doing a VIP tour again and highly recommend it to anyone that can manage it. The only downside besides the price it that it does not help with non fast pass rides. For the six hours it cost us $1500.

I have to say though, yowza, that's a LOT of money! If I were you I would have used the money to upgrade from a cabin to, say, the Beach Club. 
It IS perfectly possible to get all the rides done, multiple times, with little wait, if you A)never miss a rope drop and b)go in the right time of year! 
Not to mention a wonderful time for your DD's birthday!
) and experience all the parks have to offer.
