I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the first male tour guides at WDW back in the 70's. Back then all cast members in guest relations were tour guides. We gave the regular guided tours with the larger groups, VIP tours with smaller corporate sponsored groups, and staffed all the guest relations offices. We only had the Magic Kingdom then. When not giving tours, or when tours were not running due to large crowds, we were sent to help out everywhere in the park. That might mean working at a food location during the lunch rush, or anything that needed to be done. My favorite was what was called area hosting, we would simply walk around answering questions, giving directions, taking pictures, anything to make the guests day more enjoyable. Our VIP tours were 4 hours or 6 hours which included lunch. We did not go to the front of any lines, having to wait like everyone else. Some of the happiest days of my 11 year career at WDW.
Philip is one of the most amazing cast members my family has ever met! On two different occasions he helped us at Guest Relations to turn something that was frustrating or a real bummer into a great experience (you know those magic, Disney moments?) He is a pro and we always hope we run into him when we visit the park. Such a nice guy! We love you Phillip!
This video was great! Several years back my mom got me a tour at Disneyland called “A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps.” There were supposed to be eight people on the tour, but none of the other group showed up. The two of us got a personal evening tour of Disneyland with dinner! My favorite part was seeing the lobby of Club 33 and taking photos in the lift. Seeing the tour guide brought back a wonderful memory!
I found you last week...and I never thought I would watch something I know so much about...but you're a breath of fresh air and kindness. Please keep spreading your energy.
Thank you so much for stopping and taking a picture with me while you were on your tour. I was the one who stopped you before going into DCA. It was a pleasure meeting you and Amanda! You are just as amazing in person as you are in your videos. Love from AZ, Julie and Michael
Great video as always! I noticed when you explained the “Land of dreams tour,” you mentioned one of the perks was visiting the Cinderella dream suite. However, that is only located in the Magic Kingdom in WDW, the castle in Disneyland is the Sleeping Beauty castle.
Fun fact: The building of the Jungle Cruise was designed to tell part of the story. It was a shipping company, but when the Great Depression hit, they didn't have any cargo to move. So they changed gears and offered cruises instead. The main part of the que building looks different from the ends of it. The company had to quickly add onto the building to make room for the lines, so they just threw together whatever they could! If you look at the whole building, you'll see the "add ons." The wood is colored a little differently, and it is a little messy looking. I'd love to see a video on the hidden stories and meaning in Disneyland architecture!
ahh my family and i just missed you by 5 days! Darn!!! Would have been cool to meet you guys but great content as always. I had binged your vids before our week long visit :D
First - Thank you, Rob. Second - We are kicking ourselves, because we were at Disneyland and my husband thought he saw you, but didn't say anything. Now that we're watching the video he's certain it was you because he recognized Amanda's Mickey Mouse pants. Lol. We can't believe we were so close to you and we didn't get to say hi!! 😭
Thank you Chris for this video and thank you Rob for taking him.... We have an autistic teenager who doesn't do waiting in lines well so this will be a great option for us.....
Look into getting a disability pass for your teenager with autism. My brother in law was able to get one for my nephew. It changed their trip from being almost unbearable to being amazing. They were able ti skip every line. 👌🏼👍🏼
Rob, what might be interesting is to find past Disneyland Tour Guides and have them gathered at a roundtable to share interesting stories recounting their experiences through the decades. Just saying.
Your fun personality is so contagious and absolutely adorable that I am going to hit subscribe and like...your whole party was tons of fun! Thanks for taking me along...THANKS, ROB!!! 👍
That was a pretty awesome experience, and it looks like you all had the time of your lives. I can certainly understand why people will pay for a VIP experience. I have a silly question maybe you can answer. Let's say we have a limited number of guest. Do you know if it is possible to ask people that might want to join us for a few hours on the fly? I think that would be an amazing opportunity for all involved! No sense in keeping it just for a party of 4 or 5. Your thoughts? Thanks for the good times. I love your stuff Chris!
Hello!!! How very nice to be invited to a VIP tour!! And how even nicer to be brought along, so a huge thanks!!! Los Pollos Hermanos t-shirt (from Albuquerque and still live here!) nice to see! Great vlog and thanks for sharing!!
I think I saw prince Harry following a plaid vest into rise of the resistance in WDW September 20th. We were doing rider switch and went right in but there was a brief wait and when we got on the ride was totally empty. Thanks for the special tour Rob!
My family and I were at the park for our first day for the trip and actually got to talk with the Provosts after they got off of buzz. They were sooo much fun!!!! Nice meeting you Chris and Amanda!!!!
Great video as always! Would’ve loved a bit more credit to the editor just “she’s the one who adds the numbers” haha, editors do a lot, she’s probably the one who splices the clips, adds transitions, syncs up music, adds opening and end credits!
What luck, out of all the days we decided to head over to DCA and you guys were in DLR. Looked like fun! We been having a blast this week with being back at the park, so sad to see the week ending soon.
Love this !!! I haven’t been back to DL and DCA in 10 yrs. I use to go a lot more back when it was $65 park hopper days. Dang I miss those days. So I am taking my youngest daughter for her birthday and my birthday in Oct. We will be there for two days mid week. I would appreciate any advice that you could give us, so that we have a very productive day at each park. Especially since it’s during the Oogie Boogie Bash night. I would appreciate it.
One of the best disney trips ever!!
This was DEFINITELY one of my all-time favorite days at Disneyland! Thanks again for taking us along!
Thank you Rob! That was a super day.
So much FUN!!!!
Thank you Rob for doing this for Chris and Amanda and the PPP Crew!
You're the man rob! thanks for an epic day!!!

Ty Rob for giving us all the platinum VIP TOUR. TY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE.

Was this in 2015? Thanks so much! ❤
Thank you Rob for sharing the tour with Chris and the PPP gang and having all of us along too and also thank you so much for your service! 🇺🇸
THANK YOU ROB for including Provost Park Pass and for your service to this country ❤️
I found you last week...and I never thought I would watch something I know so much about...but you're a breath of fresh air and kindness. Please keep spreading your energy.
This is so cool!! Thank you ROB for inviting the ppp crew! You’re so kind! And what a fun video!!

I’m so glad you did the video. I will be doing the VIP tour in 3 1/2 weeks. I reserved it several weeks ago. I can’t wait!

You're so professional in your videos, I appreciate that! Even your outfits! 👍
THANK YOU ROB
Met you guys there that night on our way out! Awesome seeing you guys there...your videos helped us plan our disney visit! Thank you
Wow! Thanks, Rob!!! This was a lot of fun to watch. It’s a bucket list item!
ahh my family and i just missed you by 5 days! Darn!!! Would have been cool to meet you guys but great content as always. I had binged your vids before our week long visit :D
My sister took us on 4 VIP tours, always the same plaid, and yes... We did do the canoes. We love them!
I always feel like Chris should say, "wakka wakka wakka" after each of his puns. Great video!
My FAVORITE thing and BEST memory on the Matterhorn is "Remain seated, please...
Permanecer sentados, por favor.”
First - Thank you, Rob.
Second - We are kicking ourselves, because we were at Disneyland and my husband thought he saw you, but didn't say anything. Now that we're watching the video he's certain it was you because he recognized Amanda's Mickey Mouse pants. Lol. We can't believe we were so close to you and we didn't get to say hi!! 😭
Another fan of Thumbnail Dave here. What a nice graphics dude you got there, Amanda & Chris
I have tears!!! The editing of Astro blasters omg 😂😂😂😂
Thank You, Rob ..!
Especially for your Service ...
This is amazing!!! The tour guide is working and able to go on the rides!! Very cool!!

Thank you Chris for this video and thank you Rob for taking him.... We have an autistic teenager who doesn't do waiting in lines well so this will be a great option for us.....

Chris you really need a book of your disney puns. It would be great to have when we are waiting in line.
The Storybook Land ride "fake laugh" got me every time 🤣🤣🤣
"We're gonna max out the LOG, it's gonna be awesome!" lmao
Omgosh this was so much fun and watching you all bought us such joy. Phillip is a real pro and such a great tour guide!
Thank you Rob for this amazing experience now I know how it feels like to be a vip person
Another EXCELLENT PPP experience...YEP...watching is an EXPERIENCE to be enjoyed while you learn great tips!! Thank you Chris and Amanda...and Miles!!
Rob, what might be interesting is to find past Disneyland Tour Guides and have them gathered at a roundtable to share interesting stories recounting their experiences through the decades. Just saying.
I would definitely watch that. Great suggestion
Your fun personality is so contagious and absolutely adorable that I am going to hit subscribe and like...your whole party was tons of fun! Thanks for taking me along...THANKS, ROB!!! 👍
Yay!! Welcome!!
I'm so bummed this video is over, I truly had a blast! 🌼
$400/hr/person or $400/hr/tour?
Fun video.
Thank you Rob, you're awesome!
It was per hour. Up to 10 people. Ranges from $400 to $700 per hr based on the season.
AHHAHA omg them laughing in the storybook ride just to seem like they're having more fun that was hilarious HAHSHHA
I like how the VIP guide waits in line for popcorn instead of cutting everyone lol
The moment I saw Galaxy's Edge I got really excited! I will never get tired of anything related to Galaxy's Edge
That was a pretty awesome experience, and it looks like you all had the time of your lives. I can certainly understand why people will pay for a VIP experience.

VIP Tour! Thankyou..Will you do a Video about Genie+ and the Lightning Lines…Is it worth the extra cost?
Looks like so much fun. I try to keep an eye out for the plaid tours, usually they’re with a celebrity group, like PPP haha. Thanks Rob
Loved watching Phillip in his own little car on Astro Blasters 😂😂
It was so cute. 💙💚
OMG. I was crying I was laughing so hard when you were doing the Astro Blaster competition!!!
Very cool, great video! Thank you Rob!
Thank you Rob! that tour looked fun!
Did Philip charge extra for those dad jokes 🤣🤣

Thank you, Rob, and thank you for your service!
Thank you Rob for your military service, you are an amazing person!!!!
The Tigger and Pooh joke was Throne worthy😉🤣
I agree with Chris--Empire is #1! Well technically it's #5, but definitely my favorite as well.
Thank you Rob!!!! What an awesome experience to share!!!
Very Generous of Rob. Thank you for your service!
I’m doing this next week! Can’t wait!!
Thank you for sharing. This VIP tour is on my bucket list. And to meet Chris and Amanda.
Thank you Rob for your service and your generosity. Provost Park Pass very deserving 😃
My god, the storybook shenanigans was next level.🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙👍❤️

Great tour and information. I also like the background on what it takes to be a VIP guide.
My family and I were at the park for our first day for the trip and actually got to talk with the Provosts after they got off of buzz. They were sooo much fun!!!! Nice meeting you Chris and Amanda!!!!
The jokes had me cracking up. 🤣😂😂
Great video as always! Would’ve loved a bit more credit to the editor just “she’s the one who adds the numbers” haha, editors do a lot, she’s probably the one who splices the clips, adds transitions, syncs up music, adds opening and end credits!
Thank you Rob!!! Great video!
Love it!!! Amanda’s reaction at the beginning is the best!!!
Always wanted to do a VIP tour! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Is there a separate tour that celebrities take? On either tour do they let you in club 33? Great video!
So Awesome!!! Definately have to try this someday!
THANK YOU, ROB!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Chris! Do any of the tours allow you to see/enter Walt's private apartment above the fire station? I'd love to see that!
Not right now.
Land of dreams does but not the premium
So pumped, we are doing this for my wife’s bday may 1st!
Every time you guys fake laughed my 5 month old daughter would laugh with you !
What luck, out of all the days we decided to head over to DCA and you guys were in DLR. Looked like fun! We been having a blast this week with being back at the park, so sad to see the week ending soon.
Liked the video! How many guests can be on the tour? Also, Roaming with Alyssa" - new subscriber.
