Tour Options

Hi everyone,

I am in the VERY early stages of planning a Feb 2017 trip. On our last trip we did Keys to the Kingdom and enjoyed it alot. I was wondering what other tours like that are available? I know EPCOT recently started a new one but trying to get opinions/suggestions on all the ones that are available.

Thanks!

I've also done KTTK and would like to do a corresponding EPCOT tour, but everything I've read leads me to believe the EPCOT ones are not as good. Would like to hear from folks who have done both for comparison.

EPCOT is my favorite park so I would like to do something there but also interested in other MK tour offerings.

I've done the Wild Africa Trek and loved it. We're going to do it again in May.

Behind the Seeds is fantastic and also super affordable.

Epcot is one of our fave parks as well and Undiscovered Future World @ Epcot is one we want to do next and heard a lot of folks enjoyed it. DH also wants to do Wild Africa Trek too soon.
We have already done KTTK, Backstage Safari,and Sunrise Safari (not offered anymore).

A most magical welcome to a fellow gardener

We've done KTTK, Backstage Safari (hate to see that one gone) and Wild Africa Trek. Will be doing KTTK again next month with the new addition to our family - my just days old son-in-law (yes, two days after an amazing Disney wedding [and an 8:00AM photo session in the MK], we are dragging him around the MK on a 5 hour walking tour. He can sleep on the honeymoon cruise, lol.

Unlike KTTK which is only done in the AM, Wild Africa Trek times are throughout the day. So if you are planning on doing this tour in February, pick one of the early afternoon times so that the temperatures have warmed and the animals will be out and about.

They still have the Backstage Safari tour but it changed names to Backstage Tales. Same tour (basically Combined with the old wild by design) with just an updated name. $90 pp If you look at the description of what it is you will see it's pretty much identical to the old tour.

Thanks for the update. I thought they'd gotten rid of the that particular tour. It's a great backstage tour of the park and for people with mobility issues (or afraid to cross over the crock pit, like my daughter), it's perfect since you are driven from spot to spot.

Your welcome glad I could help! A lot of people thought it was gone being the name change and minor changes to it. But overall pretty much kept it the same so I was happy to see that.
