I don't specialize in Disney Destinations because I took classes or studied books. It’s because I truly have a passion for Disney. I take my own personal vacations to Disney Destinations and have been to them 50+ times.

Galaxy Travel Disney Team & Kevin!

"Me, me, me! I want to stand in line!!" Said no one. Ever.


 


For those frequent Disney Parks guests who would love to be treated like a rock star OR for first timers who want to visit each park's tops attractions as smoothly as possible, then a VIP tour guide is the answer!


Along with the Galaxy Travel Disney Team, I was able to experience this truly amazing VIP experience for a full day of the red carpet treatment. We arranged in advance for our guide to meet us in the lobby of Disney's Beach Club Resort after we had finished a delicious breakfast with the characters at Cape May Cafe.


Our guide's name was Kevin and let me just say that we knew very quickly that this was going to be a FUN day! With his big smile and quick wit, we were quickly at ease with him and felt like we had made a new friend.


Before we left Minnesota we had created a rough itinerary of the parks we wanted to visit. Kevin whisked us away in our own private shuttle from Disney's Beach Club Resort to our requested first stop which was Disney's Hollywood Studios. We were driven directly back stage which means we completely bypassed the long bag check and ticket turnstiles. We were met by several cast members who scanned our bags and processed our theme park ticket entry as well as offering bottles of water and light snacks (chips, candy, granola bars, etc.) to take with us into the park.


Kevin escorted us into the park through a backstage entrance near the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. He got to know who in our group was up for the thrill rides and who might want to take things easy. He sought out the Disney PhotoPass photographers so we could get snapshots taken as we made our way from place to place. At each attraction we skipped the line almost completely! Which means we were able to enjoy Toy Story Mania, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Star Tours, and even visit Chewbacca at the Star Wars Launch Bay in less than 2 hours!


Back in the van, we made our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom for the next. Since out tickets had already been scanned and bags checked, we immediately walked into the park, again through a backstage entrance near the Festival of the Lion King stage. We were quickly on our way to Kilimanjaro Safari and Expedition Everest while still taking time for some PhotoPass photos and a quick snack break. Conversation flowed freely with Kevin giving us trivia about the parks along the way. He was truly a joy to be around and had us laughing constantly. When he joined us for an attraction that snapped photos during the ride, he always surprised us with his expressions and silly poses that were definitely out of the ordinary!


It was time to make our way to Epcot after about 2 1/2 hours at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We started off by entering backstage directly into The Land building so we could ride Soarin'. After that we wanted to ride both Test Track and Frozen. But who wants to walk all the way from one side of the park to the other when you've got your own private van and driver to shuttle you there?? So we hopped back in the van and drove backstage from The Land pavilion to Test Track in a matter of a few minutes. Skipping these notoriously long lines and spend a little less time on our feet was really a treat.


As we completed our day of “power park-hopping” between 3 of Walt Disney World's theme parks, I was truly stunned at how much we had accomplished in such a short time. 3 parks in one day using standard transportation and standing in lines would have been an exhausting experience. Yet we were refreshed, laughing, and had plenty of great stories about our fun-filled day. Kevin brought us back to our home away from home at Disney's Boardwalk Inn where we snapped our final photos with him. Hugs and thankful expressions were shared with this delightful man with whom we had the pleasure of sharing our day.
