We did splurge one year on the Backstage Magic tour. It was completely worth the money! The only bad thing was I wanted to take photos sooooooo badly of all the cool backstage things we were getting to see.momeja wrote:We did the Family Magic tour when the kids were little. it was one of the best memories I have of WDW. At one point, we had to crawl through Cosmic Rays (early morning - still clean) so that Sonny Eclipse wouldn't find us. Later, we had to imitate our favorite characters. It was a total blast.
I'd love to do the Backstage Magic tour sometime. It looks like fun, too.
I went on Walk in Walt's Footsteps the second time I went to DL. The first day we went with my brother and his family, and my niece and nephew were too little at the time to fully appreciate being on a tour. The second day we sent the kids to school, went on the tour and thoroughly enjoyed all the little tidbits of knowledge! It was also the first and last time I've gotten to ride in the steamboat wheelhouse.MmeLeota wrote:What a great find! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! One of these times I have to remember to ask to ride in the wheelhouse. When we went on the tour, we were supposed to go in the Tiki Room, but it was under a lengthy refurb process, so they took us on Jungle Cruise instead. That was the coolest tour ever!!!! It was our group, our guide and the Skipper. Our tour guide shared some little tidbits with us, but whenever the boat was in the vicinity of another boat, the Skipper took over and started the spiel depending on where we were along the river. Once we were out of range, our guide took over again. (I actually forgot about this until just now since thinking about the tour!)Amy wrote:I went on Walk in Walt's Footsteps the second time I went to DL.

But wouldn't it be worth it? You only have to get up early ONE morning....Len90 wrote:We looked into doing the "Keys to the Kingdom" tour on our past trip. However, it is a 5 hour walking tour and we just didn't have the time. Secondly you have to wake up very early as the tour begins pretty early in the morning.
We looked into it around halfway through our stay and the time they offered we had a Breakfast ADR. Next time we will try to schedule it into our plans.mindflipper wrote:But wouldn't it be worth it?

My husband and I did the Backstage Magic tour just last week and I agree - it is too bad we couldn't take photos. It was a fantastic tour and I loved every minute of it!Amy wrote:We did splurge one year on the Backstage Magic tour. It was completely worth the money!

Yay! Will you include some of your observations in your trip report? It was a long time ago for us and I forget what all we got to do...MoonPet wrote:My husband and I did the Backstage Magic tour just last week and I agree - it is too bad we couldn't take photos.
