We found the tour to be the biggest disappointment. It was boring and a waste of time and expensive for what it was. I know that Disney is in the business of making money but this tour felt like they were ripping it from you.
Our family has been to a lot of the upsell events and some we have enjoyed more than others. We have quite often not got financial value for our money but it’s not always just about do you pay x amount and get nearly x in return. It’s about experiences, fun, making life easier, the magic, coping with crowds, creating memories and enjoying life. Even though some have been better than others and some we would not necessarily do again, never have we felt as dissatisfied as we did with this tour.
If you are thinking of doing the tour just for the parade have a look into plaza inn dining package with parade viewing.
We did this for the Pixar parade. For the Christmas parade the food will have holiday themes.
The view we had was perfect and depending on which side they use there was some bench seats.
By buying this and using the left over money to purchase maxpass for the day, getting a heap a Christmas desserts, some Christmas bark and hotchocolate, using maxpass to get some Christmas photos ( as it is included) and a Christmas themed souvenir. You will have a better experience than we did on the tour at at a much better price.
