I did the "exclusive" tour and it was a GREAT investment -- there were only 8 of us and we went all the way to the base of the launch pad.

I live in SoCal and I have been to both Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom and our original is better anyway.

I would recommend the exclusive tour to anyone and everyone. But if they can't afford it, the regular tour is great, too.
