Walk in Walt's Footsteps -- Peter Pan?

[BriannaRuth]

Are they still doing Peter Pan as the "bonus" with Walk in Walt's Footsteps?

Not in January 2018.

What was the bonus attraction in January?

I did the tour in May. We did Alice, the train and moments with lincoln. No Peter pan.

I did the tour June 2017 and we rode Alice, Snow White, haunted mansion, and moments with Lincoln

Also the tour was absolutely incredible and if you're thinking about doing it I would highly recommend it! we learned so much, and gained a new appreciation for the park!

We did the tour in Aug 2017. We got to ride Alice and It's a Small World.

Alice, section of the train, and Great Moments with Mr Lincoln in January.

I did WIWF tour today. From a ride perspective, it was a real letdown. Our attractions were the train (and only from NO Square to Tomorrowland) and the Tiki Room. That's it.

I think this is a common feeling--people expect more rides, and they do them "as time permits." It would be nice if they guaranteed certain rides!

I thought the Tiki room was closed right now?

They try and do at least one ride that Walt worked on. There are so many variables. How big is your group, how fast you walk, how busy is the park. If you go with the expectation that it is more of a history tour and that walking on rides is an unexpected perk you'll have a great time. In December we did Alice, Pirates, and Lincoln.

It is closed now, but on Sunday (when this was posted), it was still open.

I don't doubt that's true. But it would be easy for Disney to give all tour participants a pass to enter PP through the exit. Might be a nice perq at the end of the tour.

Has anyone done WIWF recently? If you're a person that's read a couple of the best biographies on Walt Disney and has another in queue (that's me), am I going to really learn that much? It's also a gamble on whether or not you see Walt's apartment, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a fair fan of Walt and the history of the parks, and learned a lot.

The apartment is on the schedule. Things that could change that: unexpected construction, for example. But if they take the apartment off the schedule, they add something else exclusive.

I didn't learn much and while I like history about Walt Disney & Disneyland I haven't read books or anything and I knew most of what they told me. I think what made the tour special is our guide really got into what it was like to be in the park when Walt was there. Being in the apartment felt really special. I even got teary eyed (and I wasn't the only one) when our guide told us about Walt's last days.
For $109 (non pass holder) You get lunch and get to see Walts apartment plus a special pin. I thought that alone was worth the cost. But you also get some fun history and get to "cut" inline for a ride or two.

Thank you for the info!

Ditto. I know more about some aspects of the park than either of the WiWF tour guides I've had, but the emotional story of Walt's last days and his death was undeniably a tear-jerker. Clearly, the guides are taught to recite the tale verbatim, because there was no variation on that part between the two.
