Ultimate Thrills VIP Tour

I realize it is a pretty costly tour, but I was curious if anyone has taken it and whether it was "worth" it. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I haven't done it but, from the description, it sounds like it's a way to pay to ride all the E-Ticket rides!!

Ultimate Day of Thrills VIP Tour
Hang on to your hats during an unforgettable ride aboard the fastest attractions at Walt Disney World Resort! With the Ultimate Day of Thrills VIP Tour, you’re guaranteed an action-packed experience as you take on exhilarating moment after moment, across multiple parks.

Exactly. It sounds like it could be quite a fun day. I was thinking of splurging and surprising the family on our last day with this. Great way to end our vacation by hitting all four parks in style and hitting all the biggies without a wait.

I've never done the tour and not sure of the cost but reading the description it sounds like lots of fun. I guess it would depend on how many of those attractions you can do. If you can do most all of the ones listed then most likely "worth" it. But if only one then probably not. At least not to me.

Have fun whatever you decide!

We did the Ultimate Day of Thrills tour in August of 2015. We really went back and forth about if it was going to be worth it or not. We booked it and figured we could always cancel it later. We used our Disney Visa to get a discount.

We started the morning in Magic Kingdom. We went on: Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. I think we might have gone on Haunted Mansion also.

Then we jumped in a van where they had cold water and cold towels waiting for us. We headed over to Hollywood Studios where we went on: Tower of Terror, Rock N Roller Coaster, Star Tours and Toy Story Midway Mania. The tour includes lunch. Lunch was at Hollywood Brown Derby. We ate lunch after Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster. Then we moved on to Star Tours and Toy Story.

We headed back to the van to go over to Animal Kingdom and went on Expedition Everest and Dinosaur. The tour ended around 4 pm. We finished up a few rides in Animal Kingdom on our own.

Since the tour does not include EPCOT, we made our FP+ selections in EPCOT for that night.

It was really fun. The tour guides were great and we enjoyed chatting with them between rides. We would do it again if we could swing the cost.

Interesting. How expensive is it? Does it include park entrance, or would it require a park-hopper day on a pass? Thanks!

Disney website shows it as $299 + tax per person. Park admission is required and is not included in the cost of the tour. we were able to get a 15% discount using Disney Visa. It was only offered on 3 days each week.

I just booked it. Everything I've read makes it sound like a fun filled day. Besides Disney Visa, there is also a DVC member discount.

I think the park hopper pass is needed. they scanned our magic bands at each park with a hand held scanner.

It does sound like a fun-filled day if you can swing the cost. Have fun!
