Behind the Seeds - Is it worth it?

[JTT]

I'm going in September. I have an EPCOT day with my wife.

We love Living With The Land but is Behind the Seeds worth the time and money?

 

[Oh bother!]

I did the tour a couple of years ago. It’s one of the lower cost and shorter options,
I found it interesting and would do it again.
My OH on the other hand found the very idea boring and refused to do it, so instead spent the time on mission space which I refuse to do!

It's fun and interesting to see how stuff is grown in the area. You get some in depth of stuff you see in Living with the Land. If you enjoyed LwtL then you'll enjoy this tour.

We really enjoyed it! I think it is worth it bc its a great behind the scenes tour for a reasonable price. It all depends on your guide as how fun and exciting it is. Our guide was VERY shy but we still had a great time.

Behind the Seeds is one of the cheaper tours. If you are into gardening or just really like Living with the Land then it will totally be worth the low cost.

If gardening/horticulture interests you, then it’s totally worth it. My family enjoyed it. It also doesn’t last too long, so you can still enjoy other parts of the park.

I like to garden and flowers, but found the Behind the Seeds Tour to be kind of boring. It is well worth the little bit of money to go on it if you are really into gardening, etc. I don't know why I didnt' care for it; it's hard to explain. I wouldn't do it again, but for the money, it's a good buy for those interested.

It all depends on what kind of things you enjoy, find interesting and how much you will get out of going. We went and my DW did enjoy it but I didnt. I was very hesitant to go because It didnt sound like something I would enjoy but I went along to do it as a couple with her. It was set up well and the information was extensive but it simply wasnt for me. Check out the tour description and reviews to get a clear picture of what it all entails and see it there is enough of value for you spending your time and money.

We did it a few years back and really enjoyed it. Likely gonna do it again on our next trip.

I had been saying for years that I wanted to do it and finally did last year. I really enjoyed the tour. I do not garden, because I have a black thumb and kill everything, but I appreciate how the plants grow. It was interesting to me and I am glad that I did it. Got a discount with DVC.

I've really enjoyed the Behind the Seeds tour, and have taken the tour maybe 4 times, over the past 6-7 years. It's very reasonably priced (also, if you happen to buy the Birnbaum's Guide to WDW, there is a coupon in the back.)

The other thing I like about it, is that it doesn't take a half day or longer, like some other tours. It's just an hour, and it's really interesting and informative. I'm a fan of (behind-the-scenes) activities, and this tour does not disappoint. They often have (horticultural) university student CMs from Florida who lead the tours, and they are helpful and knowledgeable. Tour size is about 12-15 people, so there's ample opportunities for people to ask questions.

Living with the Land is my favorite ride in Epcot so I might be biased but the tour is definitely worth it. It also includes a free meal, if you consider a few pieces of cucumber a meal.

I believe a few pieces of cucumber is what you get with free dining if you stay at a value resort

I did this tour and will echo what others have said. It's affordable, short, and interesting. It's a little bit of backstage magic without breaking the bank or taking up half your day.

I think if you love Living With The Land then you'll very much enjoy this tour.
