The Disney VIP Tour Experience: What $900/hr Gets You at the Parks

Brandon Episode 35

What’s it like to skip every line at Disney World, get chauffeured between parks, and have snacks handed to you like royalty?

In this episode, Brandon sits down with Mike and Erin to unpack their mind-blowing experience on the Disney VIP Tour—the elite service that costs up to $900/hour and gives you backstage access, front-of-the-line privileges, and a personal guide who makes your day stress-free and magical.

🎢 In this hilarious and insightful recap, we cover:

  • What surprised them most (spoiler: valet access at Tower of Terror 😲)
  • How many rides they hit in just one day
  • Backstage entrances and secret ride access points
  • The interview process for Disney VIP guides (it’s intense)
  • What snacks, perks, and planning come with the price
  • How it compares to Genie+, Lightning Lane, and the now-closed Starcruiser
  • And whether it’s really worth the splurge (spoiler: they say YES)

Whether you're planning a trip to Disney, dreaming of doing this one day, or just want to live vicariously—this is your backstage pass to the most elite experience at the happiest place on Earth.
