We've done two tours, both times we did all four parks, both times we did 1pm to 8pm. The first time we did this to end at MK for the reserved area to watch Happily Ever After. This timeframe worked very well for us, as we were able to sleep in and just hang around the resort, swim and grab lunch before our guide came to pick us up.
The first time we had a tour was new year's day 2019 and our guide moved FAST.
We managed to do: TSMM and Slinky at DHS, FOP and River Journey at AK, Soarin' and Test Track at Epcot, and at MK we did Splash, Big Thunder, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan and Mine Train.
Our most recent tour was recent - June 10th, 2021. I told him we didn't want to go at such a fast pace, but we still did so much. We started at MK and did Jungle Cruise, Pirates, HM, Peter Pan, Mine Train and Buzz. Next we hit DHS and did TSMM, Slinky, Smuggler's Run, MMRR, and Tower. AK just for the safari and then ended in Epcot for Spaceship Earth and Soarin'.
Both guides we had were great, but I think we all liked our second experience a little better because we knew what to expect.
The best thing about having a tour guide is you can really relax b/c your guide will know the most efficient way for you to tour and get to do as much of what you want as possible.
The seven hours goes by very fast!
Before our first VIP experience I was very anti-tour. I didn't understand the point - I plan so well, what do we need them for?? Well, now I'm a fan and on a family trip it's something to look forward to rather than dread like I did the first time
Enjoy your trip! Stay safe and have fun!
