Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour

Post by MmeLeota » Jul Mon 27, 2009 6:11 pm

Has anyone taken this tour lately? My DH and I took the tour several years ago (2001, I believe) and I am curious how much it has changed.

You know, I mentioned this to one of my friends last night after the subject of Club 33 came up and I have been wanting to try this out so much.

Is this the tour that takes you into the lobby of Club 33?

Yep...at least it did when we went on it. It's probably the closest we'll ever get to going in there! We also got to see the back rooms for what was to be Walt & Roy's apartment. (it was still the gallery at that time)

I would love if they updated it to let the tour wander around the Dream Suite now. I've always wanted to look in it.

I think that sounds great! I'd also love to see the apartment.

I'm curious about how they did the dream suite....does anyone know what they're doing with it now that the promotion is over?

I searched for anything and I found something on a Disney board regarding it. It's possible that it's just for private/business parties.

Thanks for the link. It's still sad that they removed the gallery for the dream suite. I know the gallery is being relocated to the old bank building, but there was something about it being in part of the apartment intended for Walt and Roy. It was special...and the views were the best!

I only went to see the gallery at least once or twice in the old location but I am curious to see how they'll pull it off with the bank building.

Me too. I heard that it is supposed to be 2 stories. We had been to the original location of the gallery countless times. We never did the Fantasmic viewing thing though. I kind of regret that.

I didn't even know that there were tours. I feel like such a noob. I guess one of these visits I will have to look into this.

http://disneyland.disney.go.com/tours/ Here's a list of the tours that DLR has. I know I'd love to do practically all of these if I can.
