“Excellent experience. Jacoby was our guide and he was so lovely and knowledgeable. A gorgeous breakfast and lunch were included. VIP meant we were brought straight to the top of the line for all the main rides. We also got behind the scenes access to some of the rides and workshops. Definitely saved us a lot of time not having to navigate the park ourselves or stand in line in standard queues. Afterwards we could use our VIP pass for the express lines on the rides which continued to save us time.”
