Disney VIP agent

[Anonymous]

We are planning a trip to Disney on 2023 and plan on getting the VIP concierge service and would like to stay in a super nice place. Does anyone have a rec for a travel agent who specializes in Disney VIP experiences and trips?

I recall seeing a service where for like $50K or something, Elon Musk will design your itinerary and join you for a couple of rides. Is that what you’re asking about OP?

We didn't use a travel agent. We stayed at either the Animal Kingdom Lodge or Saratoga Springs Resort in a suite, and hired a VIP person to walk us around.

You don’t need an agent for this that is the point of doing it. You are paying Disney to treat you like a VIP.

When we did it, I believe it was around 15k - 20k for 3 nights two days. But that was 6 years ago.

If you are planning on paying for a VIP tour guide each day, just contact Disney directly. Then book one of the Deluxe hotels (Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, or Animal Kingdom Lodge.) Just pick the theme you like best, location doesn't matter if you are having a tour guide (Suburban service.)

6 yrs ago is a lifetime ago...prices have sky rocketed and they're now nickle & dime you for everything (parking overnight at hotel, LL, tightened magic hours, etc).

Op - Prices start at $500/hr w/ min of 7 (?) hrs...can't remember the exact details now.
Is this DL or DW? What season ? That makes a difference in pricing.

Re: nice accommodations. I assume this means top-tier lodging, but not sure what your lodging limit is.

Have you done even an ounce of research?

The hourly rate is at least $700-$800 (maybe more, it depends on your dates, busier times are more) and there is a 7 hour minimum as you stated. This does not inclulde food, tickets, or hotel. This is just the guide and the front of the line access. So minimum $5k/day for the guide, before any other costs.

We’ve done the VIP tour twice.
Just stay wherever you want. We stayed at Loews royal pacific because we were combining with a universal trip. But I love the animal king own house jambo village—I can see doing a day with the vip tour and then a day just hanging out at the lodge with a savannah view. Or stay at the four seasons.

Of course there’s also the new Star Wars hotel-I haven’t been but have firiends that have. That is an immersive experience itself so it would be a waste of money to combine it with a vip tour. If you wanted o do both, I would do the Star Wars place then move to a different hotel the night before your VIP day.

Another valid question is whether you want to do multiple days with the VIP guide. We did one day with guide and hit 4 parks each time (skipping Epcot the first time and skipping MK the second time). If you’re the typical disney vacationer, I’d actually suggest using vip for MK, HS and the popular rides at Epcot, then taking a day to do AK yourself with LL for avatar, and then maybe a half day to explore Epcot’s world pavilion leisurely. If you stay at AKL, that would make a nice 4 day trip.

The VIP tours book up quickly. You’re going to want a Disney travel agent to book it for you as by the time you get on, it will likely be full. Same goes for meals.

You clearly have no idea how this works.

Actually I know exactly how it works. There’s a limited amount of VIP guides. They book quickly even at 1000 an hour. You’re not the only one who has used them.

Katie is the absolute best at this! Highly recommend! She trains her guides and they're great, plus her service does so much business for Disney that her guides get perks that are passed along to you (like early entry), and she has floater guides that do things like wait in line for you or save you a table at a restaurant. She's also an expert in which hotel will fit your needs and budget. It's actually cheaper to get an outside guide than use a service that's actually from Disney, and if they know the tricks they're just as good.

Don’t do this OP. Disney does not allow outside tour guide companies and hasn’t for years.
