My mom and I are giving serious consideration to taking the Adventures by Disney trip that goes to Hollywood and Disneyland. We'll be two adults travelling without kids. How exactly do the backstage tours work if there are young kids on the tour (mainly at Disneyland)? I know 90% of the backstage tours at WDW are not open to anyone under 16 so how would a backstage tour work with little kids at Disneyland? We don't have anything against kids or people bringing their kids on the trip, we just don't know how it works exactly. Would we be better off taking an adult only trip? Any help would be appreciated.
I was pretty sure there is an age restriction on that Adv. by Dis trip, isn't there? I know that there's a minimum age of 16 on backstage tours at DL and WDW (I'm pretty sure), so I would assume this would follow the same guideline.
As a side note, if you want to know a TON about that Adventures by Disney offering, check out the podcast "Inside the Magic". Ricky had a listener give a great day-by day detail of what went on. It was spread out over a handful of podcasts, but I'm pretty sure the show description will tell you if it's in the content for that show. Definitely worth the listen. It was a couple months back.
The tour sounded great, and apparently included quite a few "surprise" moments that no one was expecting, the largest of which was a visit to the Jim Henson Creature Shop. They also did something unexpected with the Pirates of the Caribbean at DL, but he said they weren't allowed to say what that was.
EDIT TO ADD: Since I've got all the Inside the Magic episodes here in my iTunes, I just looked up which ones contain the content on this trip... They are: 174, 175, 177, 181, 184, and 188.
Hope this helps!!
