How to Get a Private Tour of Disney World

Walt Disney World Resort's VIP Tour Service offers individually-tailored private tours specially designed to make the most of your day at a Disney park. Your tour guide will accompany you on rides and attractions, arrange special seating for shows and parades, and make dining arrangements for your group.

• If you must cancel your tour, be sure to do so at least 48 hours before the scheduled time. If you don't, you may be charged a significant penalty.
