Hi Andrew! Welcome to planDisney. Visiting the
Disneyland Resort, even just for one day, is a magical experience, and I completely understand wanting to make the most of your trip. A guided tour is a fantastic way to maximize your time in the parks!
A
VIP Tour can be a truly unforgettable way to experience both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Your guide acts as a friendly Disney expert and personal concierge, ensuring your visit is filled with the world-class hospitality Disney is known for. With a VIP Tour, you’ll create a personalized itinerary based on your must-do attractions, entertainment, dining preferences. Your guide can even help secure dining reservations! To book your tour, you can email DisneylandVIPTours@disney.com or call (714) 300-7710. This is the best way to get the most accurate, up-to-date pricing. Just a heads-up: the tour requires a minimum of 7 hours and a maximum of 10 hours.
One of my fellow panelists, Carrie, recently enjoyed a VIP Tour and shared that the behind-the-scenes stories and hidden Easter Eggs from their guide were a highlight of the day. As you prepare, here are a few more helpful reminders: Park admission (including Park Hopper tickets) is not included in the VIP Tour price, but once your tour is confirmed, park reservations will be made for your group. Also, since you’ll be walking quite a bit, much like a regular park day, make sure everyone wears comfortable shoes. (Complimentary strollers and wheelchairs may be available upon request, which can come in handy for little ones or guests who need a break.)
If you're looking for additional ways to minimize wait times, Andrew, I highly recommend checking out the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass. It allows you to use the Lightning Lane entrance for select attractions and entertainment experiences throughout the day. You can purchase a Multi Pass for each member of your group in advance or on the day of your visit. Once you’ve entered the park, use the
Disneyland app to start making return time selections—it’s quick and easy! Lightning Lane access currently starts at $32 per person, per day (prices are subject to change). I’m a frequent user myself, and the Multi Pass has helped my family enjoy our must-dos, like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, while still having time to relax over dinner at Carnation Café or take in the ambiance along Main Street.
However you choose to experience your day at the Disneyland Resort, Andrew, I hope it's filled with magic, laughter, and memories to last a lifetime.
Happy adventuring,
David
