I am impressed that you were able to take the tour at all. We were just there from the 8th-11th and were told absolutely NO MORE TOURS! That said, I think I got screwed with the tour thing. We went the first day we got there and got a CM who was dumber than a doornail! She first told us no tours period. Then I showed her my two PDF Hidden Mickey Quests printouts and she said that I could try to take it to City Hall but she doubted they would have any tours, I told her I did not want one for that day, but for another day, she still said the same thing.
Then we started to redeem our quests and she insisted that the pirate quests cards were ONE PER FAMILY! I told her that it was one per ticket(as my two girls watched with sad faces) but she insisted otherwise. Then she went on to say that they hardly had any pirate quests cards left and that it was strictly one per family. I was totally disgusted at this point. Finally she gave in and gave us two sets (I did not get one). I gave her three tent code coupons and she would only give me ONE tent code, finally gave in and gave us a second.
Then she literally took my hidden micky pdfs from my hands and redeemed them for gold collection cards instead. I wanted them back but she refused. So now I had no way to try taking them to City Hall to get a tour. It was awful.
As for the news, we did go back on the other days and I did in fact see two of the new cards: A Mickey Snowman and a Nutcracker! Very cute. They thought they might come out today but were not sure and they were also not sure as to how they would be redeemed.
