Can anyone give me some advice on the Walk in Walt's tour? My 13 year old daughter and I are HUGE Disney fans. We are going to DL this June w/o hubby and younger daughter. My daughter wants to be an Imagineer when she "grows up" and is already studying engineering in school. I am just wondering if the tour is worth the $$$?

I took the tour 3 years ago with DS15 (at the time). We both loved it!
We took the tour that started at 9AM and it ended with a wonderful lunch at the Gallery. Since they've converted the Gallery into a suite, I'm not sure where the lunch is held now.
It was definitely worth the money! We got a peek at Club 33, learned a lot of the history of Walt, we rode the train and went to see the Tiki birds.
If you have a Disney Visa there is a 20% discount, too.

I was thinking about this too. How much is it? Do they still do the lunch?

This should take you right to the info. It states that lunch is on Main Street USA, but it doesn't say specifically where. It says the price is $59, but 20% off with a Disney Visa. (so, about $47, if you have the visa)

We went on the tour last July and our lunch was back at the Tour "gardens." Before we left they asked us what our choice was and it was there when we got back.

We've taken the tour twice now. Once a few years back before a meal was included.

We've always enjoyed the tours and have never regretted the money spent. The CM can make or break a tour, we always seem to get one that is "in training" :) If they don't know an answer to a question they'll find out for you when they get back to the Tour Garden.

Timing is another thing for the Walk in Walts tour. We were supposed to get a peek at Club 33 (just the lobby) but there were guests in there at the time so it was skipped. If you aren't familiar with the Club you might want to research it so if you do get a peek your daughter will know how cool that is :)

Have fun!

Good to know about Club 33. My daughter would be very disapointed if we missed that part of the tour.
Where does the tour start/end, and where are the Tour Gardens?
What were the lunch options?
All times are Pacific Time (US)
