Family Magic Tour Thoughts?

After several fantastic Disney trips in the last few years, my husband has set the challenge to find 5 new things to do for each trip. I'm considering booking the Family Magic Tour for our upcoming visit in September. I have a 13 year old daughter and 5 year old son and this seems like the only tour that works for everybody . I'm wondering if anyone else has done this tour and what are your thoughts? Is it a unique experienced? With the brief description on Disney and this page, my concern is that this is more of a MK orientation tour and a quick way to wear holes in our shoes by following a CM without any extra magic . ;)

We did this tour back in October 2011 with our then 9, 7, and 4 year olds. We really enjoyed it. The tour guide started by explaining that the villains at the MNSSHP the night before stole items of value from some of the characters. (I'm not sure how they would explain it other times of the year!) He handed out pixie dust (Mickey confetti) and had the kids sprinkle it on themselves and each other to help them. Then we went on a scavenger hunt for the missing items. Some of the items were Rapunzel's frying pan, Lightning McQueen's checkered flag, Mr. Potato Head's parts, etc. We rode Winnie the Pooh and Buzz Lightyear while looking for clues. We had a meet and greet with Peter Pan. Then we ended the tour by presenting all of the items to Mickey Mouse and having a meet and greet with him. My kids really enjoyed it!

Thanks so much for the information! A few more questions: What was the group size like? Is there a cheese factor that might be hard to get over? My daughter is 13. She loves Disney and has pixiedust in her eyes, but she is still a teenager. For example, we had her do the pirate cruise at BC with her brother last summer because we were nervous he'd get excited and try to walk the plank while no one was looking ;)and while she did it she was at the top end of the age requirements and we could tell we were pushing her "cool quotient". Of course, this was the same girl lamenting we didn't book Bibbidi Bobbidi Botique one last time before she was too old. She kept giving the evil eye to every little Cinderella we passed lol. :hilarious:

There were only 3-4 other kids in our group. I believe it was 2 other families. I think a lot will depend on the tour guide. We had Trent, and he was really good at adjusting to the kids ages with what he was telling them.
