I took the Backstage Magic Tour this past May and we did not stop at this facility. I loved this tour and may do it again next May. Carmen was our tour guide!

On Tuesday I woke early and ran to Epcot in the pouring rain. Tuesday was the Backstage Magic Tour. Our tour guide was Carmen (who was originally from Brooklyn) from the Disney Institute. If you love detail, this is the tour for you. We visited the backstage area of the American Pavilion to...

Yes, the costuming department is amazing. When I was there, they showed us the new cars costumes for cars that would be used in the MGM parade. It's amazing when some of the CM's spend time talking about the things they have created over the years. My tour guide was Carmen and she was great!

If no one is able to do it during the day, I will be glad to look it up tonight. Unfortunately I am at work now, and my unofficial guide is at home. Our times will overlap a little, I will be here from November 4th thru November 11th.

I lived in Yonkers, New York about a 30 minute drive from Manhattan. This past Saturday there was a minor car accident on our local drag with all the stores. During the accident a parked car was moved into the midde of the road. A good friend of mine who works for the city was asked to come...

Mark - I took the same tour in May and found it amazing! Sounds like you got to see some new cool stuff. What was your favorite central service shop? I was simply amazed by the Holiday Shop. It was just so cool to see how much went into all the decorations and see them in storage. In fast...

I have also stayed at both resorts and you will be very pleased with your decision. Have a wondeful time! EIleen

I vote for the hubby too. I recently took a solo trip without my family and nephew and absolutely loved it. Yes, my nephew was upset for about 10 minutes when he realized I went to WDW without him. He got over it really fast when I gave him a few gifts from the new Everest store. I'm now...

When I took the Backstage Magic Tour in May we were told that the Tree Villas were being used by international CM's working at Epcot.

Have an absolutely wonderful time!

They are still good! :) Lucky you! Enjoy!

I guess I am the only one that had a horrible experience with Magical Express. I arrived at 11:00 AM on Sunday, May 7th and I did not board a bus until 2:20 PM. There were at least a thousand people waiting for buses and no busses arrived for at least 1 hour. When buses started arriving they...

Hi Everyone: I took the Backstage Magic Tour on May 9th. While we were driving around the service roads of Epcot, we were told by the CM running the tour that Wonders of Life pavillion was closed because they did not have a sponsor. She knew of no plans to remove the pavillion. She also told...

Hope to see you there! I am arriving on Sunday staying at Riverside for my first solo trip! :sohappy:

Guess I have a really long wait for November rates!

Have a great time Mitch! I leave for my first solo trip in 16 days and I am both excited and nervous all at the same time!

I will also be there the second week of May. Last year, I was there the first week of May and I never had to use FastPass except for Soarin"! 19 days to go!

Hi Susanalisa: I would recommend the French Quarter if you are able to obtain rooms. It's a great small resort which great access to the buses. You are always the first stop! I am taking a solo trip in about three weeks and I was not able to get the French Quarter at the AP rate. I am...

I have been using the Disney Reward card for over three years now. It's true, it's only 1% of purchases (which I know is not great), but it does add up over time. To be honest, this is the first card that I have actually cashed in the reward points on a card that I have acquired and I have use...
