Disney offers Private VIP tours for your trip to Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
These tours are planned for you by a Disney World Cast Member guide. You just tell them what you want to do and see, and they’ll have everything planned and ready for you. You will even get picked up by a private vehicle at your Disney World or Disney-partnered hotel to start your day. You pick when you want to start your day, and which parks you want to visit, and your guide will ensure you have a great time! We asked our readers about a time when they did a VIP tour and what they would do differently if they ever did one again. We got six great answers that might be good to know if you plan on booking one of these private tours.
Brought an Umbrella
One reader, Regina mentioned that she would have brought an umbrella with her on her VIP tour, but it’s probably not for what you might think! Regina notes that she would have taken an umbrella with her to help her get some shade throughout her day.

An umbrella, especially one when UV protection like the one above, can offer you a bit of solace from the glaring Florida sun while you’re wandering Disney World with a VIP tour guide. Of course, it does rain often in Florida, and an umbrella can be multifunctional, saving you from getting soaking wet as well! It’s not a bad idea to take an umbrella with you on a VIP tour or on just a regular day in the parks.
Not Done the Tour in the Summer
If we continue this theme of being hot in Florida, reader Brittany says she would not have gone when it was super hot out. And reader Ashley echoed this thought by saying she would not have gone in July, twice!

It’s no secret that it gets hot in Florida, and depending on what you ask to do on your tour, you may be spending a lot of time outside in the sun. If you’re hoping to take a VIP tour, it may be something to consider, and perhaps choose to take your trip and tour in the fall or winter when things have cooled off a little bit.
Asked for Fewer Rides and More Trivia
As we mentioned, you get to tell your guide what it is exactly that you want to do and see around Disney World. This means you can decide if you want to get on more rides or learn more history of the theme parks. Reader Terry told us that they would have preferred to do fewer rides and get more trivia.
Tower of Terror
When you’re coming up with your game plan to tell your guide, really consider what it is you want to get out of the tour. If you do want to ride more rides, great! But if you would rather see more behind-the-scenes things or learn more Disney trivia/history, be sure to let them know that so they can plan the day you’re hoping for.
Gone with a Smaller Group
Private VIP Tours are available for groups of up to 10 people. According to reader Lynne, they believe the smaller the group the better! This may be because you can have the tour even more catered to your liking if there are fewer people you have to accommodate. It becomes even more personalized when there are fewer of you in the group.

However, one thing to consider when determining how many people will be in your group is price. Private VIP tours can range from $450 to $900 per hour depending on the season for a minimum of 7 continuous hours. Plus, you must purchase an admission ticket. This means that the more people in your group the less each person may cost individually for the tour. Having fewer people in your group may make it more personal, but having more may make it more affordable.
Taken Medicine for Motion Sickness
If you opt for more thrills and less history on your tour, you may want to start the day by taking something for motion sickness. That’s what reader Teresa said about her VIP tour!

There are a variety of options for dealing with motion sickness, and while we’re not experts in medication, many people have said that taking ginger chews has greatly helped them with the nausea that comes with riding rides, especially those big thrill rides.
Nothing 💖
Of course, there may always be something you might change to a vacation, but there were several readers who said they would simply change nothing. Reader Becky shared, “Nothing! We had an amazing tour guide, and an amazing group that we’ve stayed in contact with, and hit everything everyone wanted to do! The rest of our vacation was spent low-key! It was perfect!”

I’ve always wondered how many VIP tours Disney does in a day or in a week. Our last 2 trips I’ve noticed a lot more VIP groups out and about in the parks.
Also, that seems like it would be a really amazing job to have! Giving a group of people the Disney day of their dreams, sounds like a pretty awesome way to make a living!
