I have been getting ads here at WDW Magic for the Disneyland VIP Tours.


Key point

>Starting at $2,975, you and up to 9 other Guests can enjoy a customizable VIP Tour, with a minimum of 7 hours.

A maximum of 10 Guests, including infants, can be accommodated by each VIP Tour Guide. Parties with more than 10 Guests will require more than one Tour Guide.<<

If you factor in a tip, we are at about $50 per person, per hour ($350) for the maximum of 10 people.

But how many folks will pay that if it avoids a 6 hour wait in line?

I don't think this tour guide is having any fun with Demi Lovato.

I've actually considered it a couple times, the issue is finding 9 other people willing to also pay....

I'd enjoy a VIP tour if you didn't have to have an extra person tag along with your group the whole time. That always seemed awkward to me. They should just call it pay to win and remove the tour guide.
I won a trip 10 years ago, and it involved VIP. We had never heard about it before, and NO ONE had told us until the VIP tour guide showed up. It was our family's second trip, with young, sensory sensitive kids...It was soooo awkward and weird. He was super nice, but my kids were weirded out by being with this stranger, and it was odd having to make small talk in fp lines (yes they walked onto fp, but even then there are lines). When we went to eat (he made an instant reservation), we had to eat with a stranger.
I always say, you must need to be gregarious, in a BIG group, or used to dealing with people who work for you (like, people with enough money/celebrity for servants/maids/nannies/etc.) for it to just feel natural.
oops: edit- this was at wdw

I've done a VIP tour. We have set up another one for the weekend we are planning to go in June--specifically because of the opening of Galaxy's Edge. We don't know if the tour will include access to Galaxy's Edge or not (they are waiting to find out), but we assume the parks are going to be crazy in general. It isn't front of the line access--its more like you have an unlimited human fastpass with you. But they also know a lot about the parks, and they show you little things along the way, and they sometimes set up special meet and greet treats for you. Sometimes they ride with you, sometimes they get you into the line and then meet you at the exit. We include them in meals during the tour.

Disney Special Services, the department you book the tour through, can also set up viewing locations for parades/nighttime entertainment, and dining reservations.

I'd be more inclined to do it if it felt like a secret service kind of escort - seen but not heard, and with no obligation or expectation to interact.

Like others have said, the times I've seen other groups with the plaids it just seemed awkward. I was right in front of such a group at Racers earlier this year, and the forced conversation between the group's dad and the cast member was annoying even for an eavesdropper.
