Which one would you choose?

Assuming you cannot do both, which one is better in your opinion:

Option 1: Five days at the parks

Option 2: Four days at the parks and A Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour

A little background: It will be all adults, we are traveling in mid-September and option 1 would be M-F and option 2 would be T-F with the tour probably on Friday and we've never been on any tours yet, but have been to DLR many times.

Thanks

I honestly have never done the tour, but have heard great things. I would do the 4 days with the tour.

HTH!!

I would do four days and the tour. I think four days is the perfect amount of time for a DL vacation. And every tour I have done was well worth it. Unless there is something else outside of DL you want to experience. The beach is free and might be nice to do mid trip.

Good luck deciding.

With all adults, I would probably do the tour. It sounds like a great time either way! How can you go wrong? It's Disneyland!!

You still have to pay for the park admission to do the tour. So Im assuming it would be a part of your 4 days right? The tour is 3 hours long. We walked along and stopped at strategic points and talked about Walt and sometimes heard his voice on our head sets. We then went to watch Tiki Show. But afterwards they asked us to stay put where they answered any questions and let us see a 40 year old flower up close. The tour guide had to wear a glove to handle it.

We walked over to Golden Horse shoe and he tried to tell us a little about Lily (Walts wife) but a western show was taking place out front so we had to move on some. We headed over to CLub 33 door and entered it. We saw the glass elevator and pictures and was told a bit of history. After all questions answered we moved onto the train. We got off in toon town. There was a break then for about 15 minutes but one couple who had to go far to smoke was late coming back and we had to wait for them so that cut into our time some. Then we walked past the mattahorn getting more trivia. Oh we did sit by small world walls and heard stories about it. Then mattahorn and then to the Castle. We went to the right and he told us trivia about the statues and the Snow White movie. We then went to the garden in front of the castle to talk more. we was suppose to ride Jungle Cruise but the delays caused us to skip that so at the end of the tour we got a fast pass to use on any attraction we wanted that day. We went back down main street and into where they show the 50 magic years and he told us about some of the stuff on display there. Then we walked back to the place we started and had a sandwhich type lunch.


Would I cut a day off my park time for the tour? No
Would I do the tour again? YES!!
I heard each guide give different trivia and we had someone who was new so our group taught him a thing or two.


The only rides we went on was Tiki room and then something of our choice with the fast pass later that day.

Yes, it would be part of our four days--we would probably choose Friday since it will be the busiest and we want to spend the other three days riding rides.

never been on the tour and never have gone without kids. i'd take the tour i think 3 1/2 days would be plenty of time to see both parks especially with out kids and especially for somebody who has gone numerous times before.
