The Welcome to DisneyLand Tour??

[S'sMom]

I am not sure if this was mentioned before, but has anyone done this one recently?

We will be doing our VERY first trip to DL May 28-31, 2010 (very adventurous, I know). We are wanting to do this one and before I call to make the ressie, I just want to know what it is about. We will have our 2 children with us (ages 1 & 7). Of course the 7 year old can hang with the walking and the 1 yo will be in a stroller (dont want to turn him loose, or he will be leading the tour )

Any help would be great!

I know that we will get two additional FP, and that is great. Will we also be able to ride a ride or two during the tour? It seems like it may be so from what I read. Unless, I read wrong, which is possible

I had posted earlier this week asking about this tour and didn't get a response from anyone that has done it. I agree that it sounds like fun for a first timer (like us!). But I hate to take the time if it ultimately isn't worth it?

I just got off the phone with customer service (was getting ready to reserve the Welcome to Disneyland Tour). I was wanting a weekend day and apparently the tours are not offered on the weekends.

Funny thing is the agent was really nasty and rude. I asked for clarification. She said did you read it online? I said, yes but it doesn't contain much information. She then said if you read anything about it, its the same thing I have here so I am not sure what other information you wanted. WT.!!!!... SMH... I was shocked as I am not used to contacting Disney and getting someone that is not in a good mood. She was just really rude and it kind of freaked me out a bit. I guess she was having a bad day.

I am guessing that this will be our only trip to DL. This is not the first time I experienced something like this. It happened when I made my hotel reservations. I guess its back to the world after this

But the tours are only offered during the week for anyone that is interested in the information

Don't let interactions with the people on the phone determine whether or not you'll come back to DLR! Your experiences, while absolutely valid, are not indicative of the entire resort!

I couldn't have experienced more awesome, helpful, and friendly CMs during our trip there 2 weeks ago. DLR is a magical experience - don't let phone conversations color that!

You are so right. I guess it threw me off a bit. Don't get me wrong, the tour not being on the weekend, is disappointing, but not too much because we will still be there. I will just have to do a bit more research.

I am sure that my in-person experience will be just fine. But I think that I better stick with online reservations for DL in the future

Thanks again

anytime I hope you have a fabulous trip!!! I love WDW, but there's just something extra magical about DLR to me!

I am sorry about your experience. You will have a fantastic time with your cute kiddos. not everyone is that rude.
On another note, if you ever do have a chance to do a tour the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour" was a real winner for my mom and oldest daughter. Very informative and interesting.
