re: Personal Tour Guide at Disney

It is the case but it is not offered at all resorts

beginning January 12, 2018, guests staying in rooms at select Walt Disney World resort hotels that are eligible for Disney Signature Services (meaning Club Level, plus the Poly Bungalows, Cascade Cabins, and Swan/Dolphin Suites) and who have purchased a 3-day or longer theme park ticket or Annual Pass are able to purchase a new “theme park extra” for $50 plus tax per guest per day as part of a limited pilot program. Since Disney has yet to give this an official name, we’ll call it VIP FastPass+.

These guests will receive the following:

Three additional FastPass+ selections per day.

Ability to reserve these three additional FastPass+ selections in more than one theme park when a valid Park Hopper option is also purchased.

Booking window of up to 90 days in advance for these three additional FastPass+ selections and the ability to book them at multiple top-tier attractions.

Preferred viewing location for nighttime spectaculars, one per day, including Happily

Ever After at Magic Kingdom, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot, Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

IMO, this is a test to see what % of people will start paying for these extras (like they did with express transportation last year). We're coming up to some of the busiest years in the history of WDW with the opening of Galaxy's Edge and then WDW's 50th anniversary in 2021.

People will want to find ways to "beat the crowds" and they will have that choice....at a price. Disney is fishing to see what sells and what doesnt.
