We went on every ride in the park once during the VIP tour, then went back and did a few rides again on our own after the tour ended (MarioKart and the Harry Potter rides). It was worth it for us since we like the rides and would never wait 3 hours for MarioKart even though the queue was fabulous (my youngest is 5 and couldn’t wait that long). For a person who just wants to experience more of the interactive games in Nintendo World, I think there was an early access ticket to Nintendo World that might be a better option especially if you want to eat at Toadstools. Either way, I’d have a lot of patience and moderate expectations for the day. Nintendo World was packed and felt a bit suffocating at times even with VIP. Most lines for the interactive games looked like they were at least 45 minutes and VIP doesn’t help with those. On the plus side, Harry Potter areas were almost deserted after the tour ended and my kids had a blast there. We had never been to USH, so VIP was absolutely worth it for us as we got a good orientation to the park. We wanted to spend time in all the areas. Nintendo World would have taken up the whole day without VIP and we would have missed a lot of the other fun. Plus, for amusement parks, the VIP food for breakfast and lunch was actually quite nice and better then the normal concession fare. Highly recommend VIP if you are open to doing more than Nintendo World, but if all you want to see is that particular area it may not be the best option (unless you want to ride MarioKart a ton - in which case VIP would be awesome for that).
