Guided Tours

[Renate]

Hi,

we are going for the second time (after 99) end of January and I´m thinking about a guided tour.
Do you think that the *Keys to the Kingdom* is worth the money?
What is the included lunch like?

And what about the *Mickey´s Magic Moudom*?

What are the tours like, how big would the group be?

Hi Renate, welcome to the boards! I'm thinking of going on one of the backstage tours sometime soon too. Your best source of info on this is going to be at Deb Willis' site:

Good luck!

I had a lot of fun on the Keys to the Kingdom tour when I took it in May. We used "wishes" on it that were included in a package tour so I didn't have to pay for it, but I do think that it would be worth the money. My boyfriend who is not as much as a Disney enthusiast as I am, enjoyed it a lot as well. Lunch was held at the Columbia Harbour House and was much better than I expected it to be. We had a private room for our group to eat and we got to sit with people who were touring with us so we got to meet some new people. Our group was about 15 people, but that was because another tour guide had to leave because she was sick. I'm pretty sure that there's only supposed to be about 8 people per group because it's hard to walk and speak to a group of over 10 people. Anyway, I hope you decide to do it because you get some interesting facts/history of the parks as well as some behind the scenes action. Good luck :wave:

Thank you for your replies. Do you think i have to make a reservation in advance? (We are going 01/25 till 02/05). Do I have to pay in advance as well?

Keys to the Kingdom is definitely worth it !!! Be advised though, there is an age limit in case you're going with small kids. I was able to book and pay for my tour at my resort. Allearsnet.com is an excellent source to answer your questions. So far that's the only tour i've done. But i'm planning on doing the train tour on my next trip.

I would definitely make advanced reservations. I'm pretty sure that this is the ONLY way to do it. Just like a typical hotel reservation, you'll need to secure your spot with a credit card. When I did Backstage Magic, I belive my credit card was billed the same day. Enjoy the tour!
