Hi Tara, and welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you’re interested in the guided tours at Disneyland. They are a unique opportunity to see the park from a different perspective. You'll learn a lot and have fun, too!
I really love the
Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour and have been on it twice. Each time, the tour guide shared so many interesting stories about Walt Disney's love of trains and how that helped shape Disneyland in the early days. Unfortunately, Tara,
on the Disneyland website, it appears that the tour can only be booked through June 30, 2025. Typically, tour reservations are available to book up to 60 days ahead, so the current lack of availability beyond June suggests that additional dates won't be available as we enter summer, although it has not been confirmed. It’s possible that higher summer temperatures may affect certain aspects of the experience. For example, the portion of the tour where Guests ride inside the Lilly Belle, the special Presidential Car, may not be offered beyond a certain temperature.
In the meantime, you might want to consider the newest offering,
A Story of Celebration: 70th Anniversary Guided Tour at Disneyland Resort. This two-hour tour includes a ride on the Disneyland Railroad, as well as a few other original attractions. There are other perks, too, such as a Lightning Lane entry for a select attraction, reserved viewing for the
Paint the Night parade, and a keepsake souvenir. It's a delightful way to dive into the anniversary festivities, and when I checked just now, there was still availability during the first week of August 2025.
The tour is the perfect addition to any upcoming visit, with the
70th Anniversary Celebration in full swing. There is so much to love, but what stands out most to me is the amazing entertainment options offered both during the day and at night. You'll also have a
wide selection of festive food and drink options, so come hungry! And Tara, have you heard there are
multiple merchandise collections, each with a distinct theme and style? For more fun, purchase the
Key to Disneyland – you'll use it to unlock special effects at various stations throughout the park. Once you've visited each one, a hidden prize will reveal itself!
Tara, I hope you have an amazing time at the Happiest Place on Earth. Please reach out if you have any other questions between now and your trip. We're always glad to help here at planDisney.
Your pal,
Kriss
