Disney VIP Tours is a high-end service at Disneyland Paris. It’s a private, tailor-made visit led by a dedicated guide. The package runs for 6 hours in a row, and you can extend it on request (with a quote). Your guide plans the route around your pace and what you feel like doing, and gets you onto rides without waiting.

There are two options, depending on how big your group is (up to 10 or up to 20 people). Disney doesn’t publish an official price, so expect around €3,000 for 6 hours. That amount covers neither park tickets nor your hotel.

What is Disney VIP Tours?

Disney VIP Tours is a private tour of the parks, with a VIP guide who’s there just for you. Your guide stays with your group for the whole visit: 6 hours in a row, which you can extend on request. They plan the route around what you want to do in the moment and follow your pace.

It’s a high-end service, designed for people who want a day with no planning and no lines. You get to enjoy rides, shows, and character meet and greets with personalized help the whole time.

Your guide knows the parks inside out. They map out the smartest way to get around, spare you pointless back-and-forth walking, and share stories about the history of Disneyland Paris.

What does VIP Tours include?

The package comes with six big perks. The goal: see everything you want back to back, with no waiting and nothing to organize yourself.

  • A dedicated guide for your entire visit. They plan the most efficient route and adjust the program to what you want as the day goes on.
  • No waiting for rides. You go ahead of the standby lines and enjoy the rides without losing any time.
  • Restaurant reservations in the park, handled by your guide. Tell them where you’d like to eat, and they’ll find you a table.
  • A reserved spot for shows and parades. No more showing up hours early.
  • Priority access to character meet and greets, with no line for the photo or the autograph.
  • Entry to the Salon Donald, right by the Disneyland Park entrance: the place to check in before you meet up with your guide, or to take a breather during the day, with sweet and savory bites and VIP Tours pins you can’t get anywhere else.

How much does Disney VIP Tours cost?

Disney doesn’t officially publish the price of Disney VIP Tours. Expect around €3,000 for 6 hours (Classic option), with each extra hour costing roughly €500, plus a charge for each guest beyond the base group.

That price doesn’t cover park tickets or the hotel: every guest needs a valid ticket for that day.

There are two options, and the difference is how many people they take:

Disney Classic VIP Tour1 to 6 people10 people

Is it worth it? VIP Tours or Premier Access?

It really comes down to what you’re looking for. If skipping the lines is all you care about, Premier Access is much cheaper. You pay ride by ride, without a guide or a whole day to pay for.

Honestly? If there are just 1 or 2 of you and you only want to cut a few lines, Premier Access does the job and costs a fraction of the VIP Tours price. Where the numbers really shift is with a big group (everyone shares the cost) or a special occasion.

In that case, VIP Tours earns its price for reasons beyond the lines: a day built around you, peace of mind, and zero planning to think about. It covers everything (rides, shows, meet and greets, and restaurants), whereas Guaranteed Access for shows and the reserved viewing spot only solve the question of shows and parades. If all you need is a good view of a show, those two targeted options are enough and cost much less.

The table below shows where VIP Tours stands next to the other access services. Keep in mind: VIP Tours is an all-in-one service, while the other three are targeted add-ons. They aren’t direct competitors. Each one meets a different need.

How do you book a Disney VIP Tours experience?

You book ahead of time, directly with the dedicated team. Spots are limited and in high demand, so don’t leave it until the last minute.

Step 1

Reach the VIP Tours team by email (dlp.viptours.experience@disney.com) or by phone at +33 1 60 30 50 60 (local call rate in France).

Step 2

Don’t wait to book: spots are scarce and in high demand, peak season above all. Same-day bookings can still happen, depending on what’s left.

Step 3

Once your booking is confirmed, share your preferences and wishes so your guide can tailor the day. Payment is by credit or debit card only, over the phone.

Step 4

When the day comes, your guide will be waiting at the meeting point you agreed on (often the Salon Donald, by the entrance of Disneyland Park). From there, your private visit begins.

  • PhotoPass and the official photos.
