Chapter 604 - 287: VIP Guided Tour—Cash Power Maxes Out the Experience! (Part 2)
"United Strength Achievement?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing task prompt and the unexpected rewards, Jiang Tao’s eyes immediately lit up.
One million cash can reimburse the entire cost of this Disney trip several times over!
It’s akin to getting a free trip and making tens of thousands in profit!
The value of 10 Constitution points and 2 Item List slots is higher than one million cash.
"Special item upgrade coupon, I’ll take a closer look at this tonight..."
At this moment, Jiang Tao was among a crowd, and it wasn’t convenient to distract himself by checking the special item upgrade coupon’s instructions. He curbed his inner excitement and closed the system interface first.
After Lily greeted everyone, she led them to start the afternoon "Exclusive Conquest" tour.
The first stop was the famous "Soaring Over the Horizon" attraction inside Disneyland.
Tourists with regular tickets had formed long lines outside the attraction, moving slowly.
Typically, visitors must wait at least 2 hours in line to experience this attraction.
When Lily led Jiang Tao and his group through the VIP passage, surrounding people immediately looked at them with envious eyes.
"Looks like a tour group? How lavish! Are all of them holding exclusive guided tour tickets?"
"That’s the charm of money power!"
"Dear, I also want to experience the feeling of not having to wait in lines for all attractions next time, okay?"
"It’s all a consumerism trap! Those rich fools!"
The crowd in line had mixed feelings, some were envious, and others were sour grapes—every type of person was there.
Jiang Tao and his group were respectfully guided by Lily to a completely empty, red-carpeted exclusive path.
In just a few minutes, they were comfortably seated on spherical chairs.
When the giant screen lit up, they dove from the peak of Switzerland’s Alps, swept through a herd of elephants on Africa’s savanna, threaded the pointy tops of Egypt’s pyramids, and finally soared in the dazzling night view of Shanghai’s Lujiazui.
The immersive shock and unparalleled visual enjoyment made everyone genuinely exclaim.
Jiang Xue and Jiang An’an were thrilled, their giggles never ceased.
After experiencing Soaring Over the Horizon, the next stop was the Roaring Rapids, where they again skipped the wait and instantly enjoyed it.
In one afternoon, under Lily’s guidance, Jiang Tao and the group experienced all of Disney’s classic attractions one round.
Pirates of the Caribbean’s Battle for Sunken Treasure, TRON Lightcycle Power Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh & Peter Pan’s Flight.
If you only bought regular tickets, experiencing all attractions in a single day would be almost impossible; some choices would have to be made.
The 4,300 RMB per person exclusive guided tour service, however, made the impossible possible, directly elevating everyone’s experience!
Besides various classic attractions, Lily and Jiang Jiaqi skillfully interspersed some light-hearted interaction and viewings.
During the parade viewing, Jiang Tao’s group occupied the best reserved viewing area.
They could feel the enthusiasm and energy of Disney friends up close.
When Princess Elsa’s float passed by, Jiang Xue and Jiang An’an excitedly waved and screamed frantically; both were little fans of Princess Elsa.
In the evening, the castle was draped in a gentle veil by the setting sun’s afterglow.
Jiang Tao’s group boarded a boat under Lily’s lead, and, accompanied by soothing music, they appreciated sculptures and fountains along the banks inspired by classic Disney animations.
The lights gradually began to glow, reflecting in the water, creating a tranquil and romantic atmosphere.
Mr. Jiang and Nanny Jiang, Mr. Xu and Nanny Xu leisurely appreciated the fairy tale scenery along the banks, wearing a contented smile on their faces.
Jiang Tao hugged Xu Li’s shoulders, Jiang Xue nestled in her mother’s arms; this moment of warmth and peace was a rare gift amid the busy life.
As night fell and lights illuminated the sky, the entire Disneyland seemed to be enchanted anew, putting on a dazzling nighttime display.
Having exerted themselves all afternoon, the exhausted group was guided by Lily and Jiang Jiaqi to the Aurora restaurant within the Disneyland Hotel.
The environment here was elegant and serene, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows could be seen the tranquil Star Wishing Lake under the night sky and the stunning silhouette of the distant fairy tale castle, forming a sharp contrast with the park’s hustle and bustle.
The restaurant had reserved the best-viewing long table by the window for this exclusive group.
Exquisite tableware, soft lighting, and well-trained staff created a refined dining atmosphere.
The menu combined classic Chinese with innovative Western cuisine, featuring carefully selected ingredients and intricate plating.
From the appetizer of Matsutake Chicken Soup to the main course of Wagyu Beef Cubes and Steamed East Star Grouper, to the meticulously styled Disney-themed dessert, each dish was like a work of art.
As dinner neared its end, a piece of melodious and anticipation-filled music suddenly rose from the direction of the park outside the window.
Lily timely reminded, "Dear guests, the castle’s ’Ignite the Dream, A Nighttime Spectacular’ is about to begin."
"We have reserved an exclusive viewing area right in front of the castle, now is the perfect time to go."
After hearing Lily’s words, everyone suddenly got another burst of energy.
After Jiang Jiaqi settled the bill, everyone followed Lily to enjoy privileges once again.
The group took a relatively quick pathway and arrived at the core area of the Fantasy Garden.
Even though it was already night, the place was still bustling and packed.
In front of the castle, there was a relatively spacious area fenced off by barricades, labeled "Exclusive Guided Tour Reserved Area."
Jiang Tao and his group entered the reserved area, once again occupying the best viewing position.
Here it faced directly towards the castle, without obstruction.
Sometimes money power is just this useful!
"Boom!"
As the first firework streaked across the night sky, it burst into a giant golden star above the castle’s spire.
The entire "Ignite the Dream, A Nighttime Spectacular" unfolded.
This was no simple fireworks show.
It was a visual and auditory epic blending advanced projection, laser, flame fountains, fountain effects, and classic Disney melodies.
The castle’s immense walls became the dreamiest canvas:
Mickey’s Magic Gloves sprinkled a galaxy, illuminating the entire night sky.
The vast Pride Lands from "The Lion King" galloped across the castle, Simba’s roar seemed to pierce through time and space.
The blue waves from "Moana" surged against the castle’s rocky walls, Moana’s brave silhouette sailed against the wind and waves.
The ice crystal effects from "Frozen," accompanied by the stirring melody of "Let It Go," transformed the castle into a sparkling snow palace in an instant.
Queen Elsa’s figure appeared atop the castle, sparking screams throughout the venue.
The castle transformed in the light and shadow, telling different stories.
The fountain danced with the music, sometimes gentle, sometimes intense.
The flame effects brought an impactful heat.
And the most exhilarating was the continuous, layer-after-layer, ultimately climactic fireworks feast.
They weren’t merely a backdrop but one of the main characters.
Sometimes cascading like a waterfall, sometimes twinkling like stars, sometimes blooming like flowers, and sometimes soaring like dragons.
Every magnificent explosion and dazzling burst was accompanied by audience’s resounding exclamations and cheers.
Not just Xue and Jiang An’an—the two little ones gazed awestruck, mouths slightly open, eyes unblinking, as if to imprint this enchanting spectacle into their hearts.
Even Xu Li, Xu Sha, Jiang Yi, Jiang Bing, Jiang Jiaqi, and Jiao Jingtong, the "big kids," were all amazed by the spectacular sight before them.
This Disney journey will assuredly leave a deep imprint in everyone’s heart.
After enjoying the firework display, it was already past 10 PM, nearing 11 PM.
Jiang Xue and Jiang An’an had so exhausted themselves that they were lying asleep on Jiang Tao’s and Jiang Hai’s shoulders.
With Lily’s guidance, the group exited Disneyland through the VIP exclusive passage.
Luxurious buses marked with the Disney Hotel logo were quietly waiting at the exit.
Everyone boarded in an orderly manner; the air conditioning inside was cool, and the seats were comfortable.
The vehicle smoothly departed from the still brightly lit, ever lively Disneyland, heading towards the serene cluster of Disney hotels.
Outside the window, the park’s lights gradually receded.
Yet the dreamlike, joyful sensation and ultimate convenience and fulfillment brought by the "exclusive experience" were deeply imprinted in everyone’s heart.
