Isn't this thread actually complaining that nobody was complaining about price increases?
I'm with ya....charge those suckers more and save us little fish from the price increases*Whatever price* The Mouse can get away with for VIP Tours is fine with me. This is a high-end service for wealthy people. Charge 'em $10,000 an hour if they're sucker enough to pay for it.

Ticket prices should be 3-4 times higher than they are now to keep the plebs out so my wait times are lower.
The plebs have credit cards though, and we aren't afraid to use them!
Disney world employees are paid hourly unless they are in management rolls, hiring, HR, etc. Disney pay starts at $12 an hour this also includes hosts, vip tour guide, etc. My source is because I've worked with Disney.According to Glassdoor they get paid $12-$15 an hour. What’s your source?

This is an inaccurate statement. There are far more roles than 1) hourly or 2) management / salaried.Disney world employees are paid hourly unless they are in management rolls, hiring, HR, etc. Disney pay starts at $12 an hour this also includes hosts, vip tour guide, etc. My source is because I've worked with Disney.

A VIP tour guide is in a role called office and Technical. There is also the Culinary field. There is a great degree of pay difference between hourly, office and Technical, culinary, and salaried. Also not all hourly positions start at the same hourly wage. Some do start at $12 and hour some start higher.
It is simply not a case of either being hourly or salaried. And it's certainly not the case at all hourly positions start at the same rate.
Are you a Disney employee? I never said all hourly positions started at the same wage. Disney's pay starts at $12 an hour. I know what employees make at Disney.This is an inaccurate statement. There are far more roles than 1) hourly or 2) management / salaried.

And are guest relations hosts frequently referred to as “the plaids“? Lol
*$13The people giving those tours still make $12.00 an hour
Looks like some cast follow policies and some just do not.People who use private VIP tours are either well off enough to not really care about that kind of increase or they are diehard Disney fans who will get together with other such fans and split the cost (you can have up to 10 people in your party for each plaid you secure) in which case it's not really a big deal either.
Regarding tipping and pay for the guides, plaids will accept tips. Even way back when Disney told WDW VIP private guides not to accept tips, most plaids ignored that and still accepted them. Of course, like anywhere, some people don't tip, but many do (as it's what you should do if you aren't a word I can't use on this forum), so don't feel too bad for those cast members. They're making decent bread for what they are doing.
And I've seen them eat in fine dining areas of the theme parks with their guests. I'm sure the food is better than the cast dining areas.The people giving those tours still make $12.00 an hour...and they still require you to buy a $125 ticket to get in for the “tour”...
...if you want some perspective
But are they supposed to? And does that provide assurances?I used to work in GR, and had many friends who also worked as VIP guides (DSA, or Disney Special Activities, is the department), and they do take tips. Sometimes very considerable ones.
They told me it was allowed, and I trust my friends. I understand this doesn’t constitute proof, of course.But are they supposed to? And does that provide assurances?
I think you know the answers to this questions.
I hear you...assume it’s an “unofficial policy”...They told me it was allowed, and I trust my friends. I understand this doesn’t constitute proof, of course.
