So it's what - $365pp? Is that for real? $3,650 seems high. We have 10 in our group so we could fill a tour, but I thought they were in the $500-range not $multi-thousand-range.

ETA: Looking at ermindy's links, it's $349+tax for the ultimate day... but I don't see on there about the group size minimum. It looks from that page like you can buy just enough for your family.

That is a link to a different set of experiences that CaptJacksFamily mentioned. He posted the link for me to check out.

This is for the VIP you-direct tour. No guiding, from what I can tell. Just streamlined access. It's $550/hr with a 7 hour minimum. The maths say that this is $3850, minimum. With 10 folks, that's $385 pp, minimum.

Cheers.

I do wonder, though, about the pre-defined tours. Is there a minimum/maximum number of participants? For instance, if we were the only ones who paid for a particular VIP event on a specific day, would they cancel because it isn’t profitable to do the event for just 2 people? And would I also risk joining a group of 20 or 30? I did see that they don’t allow rider swap on the pre-defined events. So that wouldn’t slow the tour down. But I would think that Disney would have a max allowable number for those events. Just curious...

Our last ultimate day tour had 3 full vans of people probably around 40 people, I felt it was a lot. Prior to that the ultimate tour had probably 20 people.

For the last tour there was 4 guides, I felt that they decided to all go together. But technically they tell you start time and which ride so I guess even if they don’t put us all together only a few guests would/could get between the groups.

And pirates was down. Rock and roll was down but came back up and tower of terror was down- that was the last ride so they gave everyone a FP for that day only for a ride, not the normal one that are excluded from any ride list.

But 4 large is most of 2 business class tickets from California to Europe, and I know which of those I want to spend on

Yeah - If I'm coughing up that much money, it won't be for Disney. Well, maybe a Disney cruise. Or a business class plane ticket. Those are cool.

I have heard that 40 is max but they are suppose to go in groups of 20 so as not to overwhelm the ride ops. I do believe that they all lunch together.

Great assimilation for 36 obnoxious strangers and my obnoxious family.

Yup. We're not at the cruise point in our lives (our trips are 2-5 days max at present), but we do plan to get there. Europe river cruised are top priority, but Disney have much to recommend them.

Cheers.
