Thanks..I have the tour booked when I visit in November. Is the entire tour on foot or is part on Main St vehicles? Hopefully that snack time area is open on my time.
Hi @TAM94114! Thanks so much for watching! Our tour was entirely on foot and didn’t include the Main Street vehicles. I may be misremembering, but I believe at one time they actually did offer a tour dedicated just to the Main Street vehicles. I know for a fact they do a Disneyland Railroad tour, but the train is currently down for refurbishment and probably won’t be back until the trains are running again. They also offer some seasonal tours throughout the year. Our tour guide told us that the guides write and create the tours that are offered, so when you do your tour in November, if they don’t currently offer any vehicle tours; it could be the perfect opportunity to make that suggestion. Hopefully the tour guide thinks it’s a great idea as I do! I would love to take a Main Street vehicles tour! Also, at the time of our tour, they inferred that the upstairs snack area was nearly complete. So by now it should be ready for your tour. But much like the posted wait times for rides, Disney time can be unpredictable. Either way it’s a great tour and I think you will really enjoy it.
@@DogsRBarkin Thanks for the great response! I just want to be sure I include the vehicles on my trip, especially the fire engine since it was so special to Walt. Given it's the start of the holiday season, I would hope that the railroad would be back up and running. I will mention that about the vehicle tour. I'll pop back and let you know it went. I'm also doing the 'holiday time at Disneyland tour' which includes the decorations at both parks and premium seating for the parade. At one point they'd give out a special pin for this tour. I wonder if the personalized name tag replaces that?
@TAM94114 I just checked and the railroad is still closed. I don’t know when it will reopen again, but when they originally announced the closure, they estimated about 3 months. It seems be taking longer than that, but fingers crossed that it will be back by November. Also, make sure not to wait too long to hit the Main Street vehicles since they typically stop running in the afternoon. For example, today’s posted hours for the Main Street vehicles is 8am-2:15pm. Also, the horse drawn vehicles usually stop earlier than that, typically around noon to 1pm, depending on weather, crowds and the horses’ temperament. You might be right about the name tag buttons as we didn’t receive a pin. Disney does like to change things up from time to time, whether we like it or not haha. I hope you enjoy your tour as much as we did! The holiday tour sounds like it’s a lot of fun, I hope to do that one in the future as well. By the way, I took some video footage of riding the fire truck. It’s not the best looking footage and is pretty shaky, but I can post it if it is something you and others would be interested in.
@@DogsRBarkin Thanks, I plan on riding Main St Vehicles in the morning anyway. I know that they are a part of the parade/cavalcade usually. Appreciate all of the great information.
