We have done the Segway Tour (twice), Dive Quest (I've lost count) and the Behind the Seeds Tour. My absolute fav. is Dive Quest (big surprise, right?) But you obviously have to be scuba certified for that one. If any of you are and have not yet tried it, you really should!!!

We loved the Segway Tour and Behind the Seeds too! We're set to do the Wild Africa Trek with the Mouse Couple on our upcoming trip and really looking forward to it!!!! I would love to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour someday. I understand that eats up pretty much an entire day, so that's always held us back.

I forgot about the Behind the Seeds tour. If you are interested in plants at all, that was quite an interesting tour. And you can't beat the price for a 1-1/2 hour tour!!

Another recommendation for Undiscovered Future World. It's a great tour if you're an EPCOT geek, and if you're not you still get to ride Soarin' via the VIP entrance and you get to sit in the VIP seating area for Illuminations!

My wife also highly recommends Behind the Seeds.

I don't know if you could actually consider this a "tour", but I bought tickets for the Pirates Fireworks Cruise and found, for me, that it was definitely worth the money. We met at the Contemporary, got to grab as many snacks as we wanted, got our picture with Captain Hook and Mr. Snee. Then we climbed aboard and the board took us to midway into the Lagoon where we had a front room seat for the Electric Water Pagent. Then the boat went closer to MK and we had a great view of the fireworks. They even piped in the music to Wishes. When we returned to the Contemporary, Peter pan and Wendy greeted us for photo ops. My friends and I loved it!

You didn't feel it was geared too much toward kids? That is sort of how it seems from the descriptions...
