My understanding of this "tour" is that it wasn't a "tour" in the traditional sense: you get a customized day to do whatever you've always wanted to do in WDW, within reason. (The "within reason" was specifically emphasized to me.)

In that respect, it shouldn't be viewed as some combination of other tours: for the price, you'd just book those other tours.

Rather, this "tour" is to let you do things you can't do elsewhere. The examples I was given included:

1) Wash, feed, groom, and train the animals at the AK (Yes, this sounds like "paying to work" to me too)
2) Watch a dinner service come together inside a signature restaurant kitchen
3) Go onstage in the attractions before or after normal park operating hours
4) Be a Jungle Skipper on your own boat
:

Regarding "within reason", the two exemptions I heard were:

1) You can't be a character
2) You can't operate machinery (so you can do the JC narration, you can't drive the boat)

I'm sure that, over time, Disney will add to this list.

I also heard that the tour was up to 24 hours. I'm not sure if that included the night spent in the Cinderella Castle Suite. I could be wrong about that.

Relative to the cost of other tours, or general "custom" vacation experiences, $2K/person is ballpark. I mean, it's more than 80% of US households spend on vacations annually - let's not forget that. But for the other 20% who avail themselves of those kinds of experiences, it's not out of line with the market.

Wow. So this is basically a "What's on your WDW Bucket List?" kind of thing, within reason, as mentioned. Let the fun begin. :cool:

Guys, I think you're missing the possibilities here. This just might be Disney giving us the golden ticket. Want to walk the track of your favorite attraction before the park opens? Sure. Want a tour of WDI? We can probably make that happen. The archives you say? Lets get you with a historian. This could be actual VIP access.

I want my normal admission price back if I have to listen to a normal guest spiel on Jungle Cruise. That’s a kick in the face to cast members who work really hard to learn that spiel and put on a great show every day. I hope whoever told you this was wrong. Let people pay whatever outrageous price they want for stuff. But, don’t let it negatively impact other guests. That’s when privilege becomes too much.

For that price I'm sure you also get your own boat.

I mean, that kinda captures how desperate this thing sounds. I picture Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross, tie askew, perspiration running into his eyes; “You want to shoot a BB gun at the Small World dolls? Yeah, we can do that. Anything you want. No problem. But look, I just really need those 12 thousand bucks. Please.”
