VIP tour - spring break time

[Nikkimouse44]

Historically, is it safe to assume the VIP tour will be the $900 an hour during the week of Easter April 2026?

For those of you who have done a VIP tour during spring break Easter week (the week after Easter) or during a holiday week - did you find it enjoyable and worthwhile?

Trying to weigh the pros and cons and cost. It would be split between two families (4 adults and 5 boys ages 6, 7, 8, 8, 11)

We have all been to Disney many times and will go to Disney many times again, just not sure when the next time we’d go again together!

Not sure that this is of much help but it might be a reference point. Did VIP Columbus weekend 2 years ago and it was 900 / hr. We only did Studios and Epcot but it was the best experience.

What about it made it a great experience? My friend and I want to do it, it’s just getting over the cost for our group of 9. We think this is kind of now or never type thing. And we just want to make sure the value is there…

We've done it twice (not during Easter/spring break) and loved it! We were able to go on everything we wanted in 7 hours and repeated some attractions. We hit all 4 parks. We also split it with another family of 4 (8 of us total).

I thought it was worth it, but you could also look at getting LLPP for each park to see which would be more cost effective. LLPP doesn't include the van transportation between parks and doesn't use the "secret" entrances to some attractions (like Haunted Mansion), but it would cut down on some wait times and give the flexibility of not having to book LL ahead of time. With LLPP you'd focus on one park each day, but you would most likely not need all day to ride everything you want. For example, DD18 and I did LLPP at DHS in February. We rode everything we wanted to in about 4hrs, so we were able to hop to another park. It might take longer during spring break, but I bet you'd cover everything in DHS about 5 or 6 hours (thinking the wait in the LL will be a little longer during a busy time).

Just a thought.

I may have totally misspoke. After doing some math I think it might be more expensive to do LLPP for each park than splitting a VIP tour. Wow. That's crazy.

For what it's worth...we did our VIP tour at the beginning of our trip. That way we were able to relax a little and not stress about getting on any attractions. Since we had done everything already, we took our time and enjoyed ourselves more.

I have wondered about this. My concern is that if we did the VIP tour before the last day or two, it would be harder to go back to “normal” (LLMP) touring.

It’s not. You’re wiped out the day after a VIP tour, so you won’t care if you’re the casual park-goer, wandering around and skipping lines you think are too long. After that working the LLMP system will get you on those rides you skipped or want to experience again. We’ve always done our VIP Tours our first full day in the parks (when our feet are still fresh); it’s an exciting start to the trip and then we can relax and enjoy the rest.

Value is something each group has to determine for themselves, but I find the tours to be very worthwhile. The transportation between the parks is incredibly helpful and saves so much time. Also, as a planner, being able to transfer the "mental load" of what to do next is almost immeasurable and helps me relax so much (particularly if you're trying to coordinate a large group). It's nice to be able to do some favorites more than once (depending on the attraction you may have to wait to do a second time). We love getting to know the guides and learning little known facts about the parks and attractions. They take good care of you with water and snacks throughout the tour. The reserved viewing for the fireworks is a great benefit as well.
