It was very easy to book a time and they offered several tours throughout the day. I was able to take advantage of a Disney Visa Card Member Discount which saved about $25 \u2013 make sure you are signed into your Disney account and your memberships are linked in your profile for the discount!\u00a0 You will need to make sure you have valid park admission and a park reservation for the day of your tour as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What to expect on Walt\u2019s Main Street Story Tour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Checking in for Walt&#8217;s Main Street Story<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On the day of my tour, I made my way to the check-in location at the tour Gardens on Main Street, U.S.A. 15 minutes before my reservation time. It&#8217;s a nice little location to relax before your tour and there are bathrooms available in the Tour Garden. There is also a nice listing of which tours still have same day availability!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28318 aligncenter\" title=\"Disneyland Guided Tours Garden\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Disneyland-Guided-Tours-Garden.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Disneyland-Guided-Tours-Garden.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Disneyland-Guided-Tours-Garden-150x144.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once at the desk I gave the Cast Members my name and photo ID to check in.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to make sure you have your reservation confirmation and credit card used for the reservation just in case.

Here our guide introduced us to Main Street U.S.A and the links to Walt\u2019s childhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri. As we walked down Mainstreet U.S.A our guide gave us so many interesting facts and behind-the-scenes stories along the way.\u00a0 We visitedThis portion of the tour was about 30 minutes and then we made our way to the firehouse \u2013 which we were all eagerly awaiting.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Inside Walt Disney&#8217;s Disneyland Apartment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The crown moment of the tour was heading backstage and making our way up to Walt Disney\u2019s apartment which is right above the firehouse on Mainstreet U.S.A.\u00a0 You can see the light Walt would leave on when he was staying in the apartment in the window on the second floor.\u00a0 Walking up the stairs and through the door into the apartment that Walt and his family stayed in while at Disneyland was a feeling I cannot accurately describe.\u00a0 Our guide told us so many interesting tidbits and touching stories about the apartment and the artifacts it contains and there were some tears shed by me.\u00a0 It was so amazing to see the place Walt originally created to oversee construction of the park and park operations which then turned into a place he, his wife Lillian and grandchildren would visit after Disneyland opened.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28320 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Walt's Main Street Story Disneyland Apartment\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-apartment.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-apartment.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-apartment-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We were able to wander around the tiny apartment and look at but of course not touch anything.\u00a0 Unfortunately, private pictures are not allowed to be taken during this part of the tour.\u00a0 However after about 20 minutes a PhotoPass\u00ae photographer came up and did a photoshoot with each of us. The PhotoPass\u00ae photos are included in the cost of the tour, and can be viewed in the Disneyland app.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28322 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Walt's Main Street Story Apartment Window\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-Window.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-Window.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-Window-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After everyone had their picture taken, we headed back down to Tour Garden to enjoy our themed lemon cookie and soda. \u00a0Here, the tour guide answered questions and told us more stories. We had the opportunity to look through books and magazine articles about Mainstreet U.S.A and Walt\u2019s Disneyland Apartment as well. Normally you\u2019d visit Walt\u2019s private patio to enjoy your refreshments, but it was also being refurbished.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28321 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Walt's Main Street Story Cookie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-cookie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-cookie.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Walts-cookie-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Was Walt&#8217;s Main Street Story tour worth it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For me it was absolutely worth it! I love history and Disney and really enjoyed everything about this tour. I already knew some of the history shared on the tour but for me the tour of Walt\u2019s Disneyland Apartment alone was worth the cost.\u00a0 This tour may not appeal to everyone of course. However if you have never had a chance to visit Walt\u2019s Apartment you will most likely enjoy this tour. This tour states it for all ages, but I wouldn\u2019t take any kids younger than 12. Between the refreshments, PhotoPass\u00ae keepsakes and exclusive access to Walt&#8217;s apartment, I think the value of the tour is perfect.\u00a0 I will remember this experience for the rest of my life, and it totally made my Disneyland vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Next time you are in Disneyland and have some free time consider taking one of the guided tours! It is such a unique and memorable experience!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do you want to take a guided tour through Disneyland?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019d like help planning your next vacation I\u2019d love to help!

I was hooked when I saw how we could leave our troubles behind and just focus on fun and making memories. Disney has been a huge part of our lives. I met my husband at Walt Disney World, we got engaged, and married there. I now live in Magic Kingdom's backyard and have two more beautiful daughters who I get to share the magic with. When I am not planning travel adventures I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, and tending to my plant babies.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/request-free-no-obligation-quote\/?ldsrc=TMFL-TMFLMelissaG","facebook.com\/MelissaGriffithTravel","instagram.com\/themelissagriffith"],"url":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/author\/melissa-griffith\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28317"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28331,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28317\/revisions\/28331"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
