I haven't done this tour yet, but one of my very good friends did it Summer 2004 and said it was amazing.

I might just plan this tour when I go down in December. sounds extremely interesting, as I'm all into learning useless facts.

Actually... you learn QUITE a bit about the parks.... but be warned... you may see "characters" go out of character....

hey, seeing the Characters "out-of-character" doesn;t surprise/ruin anything for me. Those cast members in costume aren;t what make WDW magical, it's the service you get with the smiles and just the feeling of being in Disney.

I did this tour on May 10th and I absolutely loved it. When we were back stage learning about POC and SM we saw the butterflies practicing for the SM parade.

If you have a full day I strongly recommend the Backstage Magic tour. It's a full day, but you get to visit the backstage areas of Epcot, MGM and MK. Plus you visit the Central Servicies building, the Flower area, the Holiday building etc. It's an amazing day and worth the cost! You get to meet with so many CM, I cannot saw enough about this tour. Plus you can get a 20% discount if you have a Disney Visa card. The tour is $199 and I paid $159.

I did type up reviews on the WDWMagic site, but for some reason they never posted.
