I was going to point out that the price for Keys has indeed gone up to $58, but that includes lunch. We got to eat in a roped off area upstairs at Columbia Harbour House, which was pretty cool. Also, we were at the parade staging area when they were gearing up for a parade, which was fascinating to watch. I reccommend this tour to everyone!

Also, you can get a discount on the price with your Disney Club card. I think it's 10%.

HEY... I didn't get lunch (had to buy myself). But then again... it only cost me $45.

I took a tour called backstage magic. It was a few years back. I think it was the most expensive at the time, around $200. On the tour we saw the underground tunnels, the character creation shop, trash removal system, the dock for the lagoon nighttime parade, storage for all the parade floats, we stood under startours and watched the simulators in action, took an animation class, painted our own cell of mickey, had lunch in the driveway of Earnests house on the backlot tour, walked around mgms costume dept., watched how the american adventure attraction changed scenes, and went behind the scenes of the living seas and saw the manatees. It was the most awsome thing i ever did. i loved it. This was not for small children! You see castmembers getting into character and you see alot of the costumes in partial form i.e. chip and dale without skins. Even some of the adults didnt want to see it. Ive also been on the keys to the kingdom tour.
