Favorite Backstage Tours?

[JohnD]

What are your favorite backstage tours? On my trip in mid-October (10/19-10/25), I've decided to take three of them:

• Wild Africa Trek (10/20)
• UnDISCOVEREed Future World (10/22)
• Keys to the Kingdom (10/24)

What are your opinions of these? Others?

Of the three you have mentioned I have only done Keys to the Kingdom. It was lots of fun and provided us with some information we didn't know, but there was a lot of it that we did know. I think the highlights were going backstage and in the utilidoors. The utilidoors weren't that exciting, just like long basement hallways, but it is a "forbidden" place so that was exciting to us.

We have also done Behind the Seeds, and even though I'm not a big gardener I am fascinated with the greenhouses of the Land. It was a really nice tour and it was interesting to see the innovative gardening styles. And it was a very affordable tour monetarily and time wise too. I like that it was about an hour so it didn't eat away at our park time.

Yes, Behind the Seeds...interesting, informative and affordable.

The Epcot aqua seas tour, we've done it twice and love it! Also, BTS, is a great value!

We've done:

• Keys to the Kingdom-MK (excellent, loved backstage & utilidors)
• Backstage Safari-AK (nice behind the scenes tour of how they care for the animals-very impressive the depths they go to for the animal care)
• Wild Africa Trek-AK (spectacularly awesome, this was such a great experience)
• Magic Behind the Steam Trains-MK (very imformative, especially for train lovers or fans of Walt's love of trains)
• Dolphins in Depth-EP (really cool backstage tour of "the seas" and educational info on dolphins, actual time in the water with doplhins was short but also very cool to do; awesome/gentle/smart animals)
• Marceline to Magic Kingdom-MK (kinda lame, but brand new)
• Behind the Seeds-EP (didn't think I'd really like this but I really did; learned a ton about advanced methods of growing that Disney is doing; really neat)

I have loved every single one of them except Marceline to Magic Kingdom (kinda lame) but it was brand new at the time so may not have been refined yet.

I might be able to squeeze in one more, Behind the Seeds, on 10/23. It's only about $30 or so and is first thing in the morning. Haven't decided yet. Definitely want to try Backstage Safari and Behind the Steam Trains in the future.
