Has anyone booked the new free member tour for Soarin around the world?

"Beginning in fall 2016, Disney Vacation Club Members and their guests are invited to embark on a high-flying journey during a complimentary* behind-the-scenes tour of Soarin' Around the World."

It takes place most Wednesday's at Epcot 8am-9am.

I've always wanted to see behind the scenes at Soarin so I'm very excited for this, I've booked for Weds April 5th.

Just call member services to book, guests must be over 16yrs old.

Is this an ongoing thing, will it be avail in May?

Yes I think it should be but I'd call as soon as your able as it took me an hour to get through and the lady said this was all people have called about today.

Does anyone know if you need a park ticket for entry to do the tour?

I tried the 17th or 24th May earlier today- fully booked too!

I have been too lazy on this one. Though 20 places once a week, a lot of luck needed to get it!

We did the California version of the DVC Soarin Tour in the summer, strangely the lower age limit was 12. The maximum number on the tour was 20 guests and it took place at 10 a.m.for the full hour. Really worth doing it if you can, especially when they take you right behind the screen while the ride is running.
