An hour (!) on your feet AND you have to pay extra??? Making reservations so far in advance is tiresome. How do we know how we’ll feel on that day??? Getting so tired of Disney with their hand out….this tour should be free and no more than 15-20 minutes, especially at that late hour. I’ll ride in the boats and that’s that!!
