Hi,
I’ve gone on two backstage abd so I will compare the two...
Overall, both were awesome, and the guides were awesome.
about 90% of the trip was the same, but there were a few things different
The first trip was about 3 years ago in 2016.
We actually had 3 guides this time, with one of them in training, where he is going to start being one of the guides next week. He was great. Note that we only tipped two of the guides, but it was nice having him available for pics, etc.
Things missing last time: fantasmic, which was closed due to construction.
Differences this time:
on first night, there was no group activity, first night last time we all went to wax museum, this time it was all on our own.
Second day was mostly the same. We visited the carousel in Griffith park instead of Walt’s barn, but both are cool.
Third day: mostly the same, but we went to French quarter quick serve this time instead of river belle table service for our dinner. I enjoyed French quarter better.
Fourth day: swge basically means we missed some things. Last time we got a BTS of the where they launched fireworks, and a parade viewing. As well, I’m pretty sure we saw both Walt’s apartment and dream suite last time, and this time was Walt’s apartment only. I didn’t mind missing the parade this time, last time was paint the night.
Fifth day: before we got a tour of club 1901, this time just a tour of Carthay circle.
Sixth day: we went to steakhouse 55 for breakfast this time, I don’t remember what it was last time, but it wasn’t that.
As well last time, we got paper fast passes, this time we just got fast passes added to our ticket. They function nearly the same in that they could be used at any time for any fast pass enabled ride. This time, for some reason GOTG was excluded, and we were only able to visit it once with the fast passes they gave us. Note that MaxPass was not added, so either you would have to add it yourself, or use the kiosks. I ended up not gettin any extra ones.
