VIP, Rockstar, Royalty Orlando experience.

Louise Hunt on 14 September 2019
Do you like to holiday like a Rockstar, royalty or lottery winner? Do you hate queues? Are you prepared to pay for an easy life? Hate not knowing the inside track? Do you know what to do with fast passes, express passes? Do you want the best pictures and memories? Well, this is the Orlando review you need to read. I am just back from the most amazing trip, and I was blown away by the VIP care of my Disney and Universal hosts.

With Disney, a private VIP tour starts with collection from your hotel, a secret back entrance into your choice of park and this is where your bespoke day of Disney magic really starts. You don’t worry about pre-booking your 3 fast passes, your guide will take you to the fast pass queue for all the rides and experiences. Whilst you enjoy riding the newest experiences Disney has to offer, you can ask you guide to stand in line for you to meet and greet your favourite Disney characters! Disney parades are the stuff of legends, and with your VIP guide, you’ll have an uninterrupted view, no jostling for position, and the best selfies in the parks. If that isn’t good enough, the guides have the best stories: they know which films are woven together, which Disney characters are related, they have all the secrets. If this isn’t private and VIP enough for you, then you can buy the ultimate package where you go to the front of every queue, not even joining the fast pass queue! Depending on what you love most about Disney, you can share in a magical experience, in Cinderella’s’ castle, or the wardrobe department, or unique character experiences. This really is where the magic comes to life. I can’t recommend highly enough the 2 guides we had here, Tom and Laney were so friendly, smiley and knew everything!

Moving on to Universal, I again lived the VIP life! Its not just bypassing the queues, it the clever navigation between rides and parks to maximise your time. The rides which everybody is talking about, are yours to enjoy…. Spiderman, Transformers, Minions! We had the opportunity to ride the new Harry Potter rides, which can have wait times of 3 or 4 hours, and they’d have been worth the wait, but we saw, we rode, and we were quickly whisked to the next exciting experience.

I also had an RIP guide: what is an RIP guide? These are scarily good guides who arrange special tours to maximise the Halloween Horror nights at the Universal parks. The parks have 10 scare houses and 5 scare zones, and you’d be truly frightened by the length of the queue to go in each house, but delighted at how horrifying quickly you are whisked passed these queues with an RIP guide!

So what do you want to do next time you are in Orlando? Jump on board the Millennium Falcon and take on the Smugglers’ run. Discover the beautiful World of Avatar with Pandora. Hop on board Hagrid’s motorbike and fly the Forbidden Forest. Scare yourself silly by ticking off all 10 of the horror houses. VIP all the way!

Last tip, let me help you pick the right place to sleep at night. On site, off site, discreet or overt, stay in a resort with a club level or suite option, or luxury villa with your own private pool.

• VIP guides cannot get you dinner reservations for venues which are already fully booked, but I can help you plan these up to 180 days before your trip. • With both Universal and WDW, you still need to buy your park tickets • Clearly there are terms and conditions, but I can chat with you about any queries you may have • These guides are awesome, so yes, they do deserve to be tipped.
