Tours at Walt Disney World

[mickeymouse090]

On my next trip down to Disney I would like to take in a couple of tours. Some of us want to do tours at MK while others want to do some at AK. So basically we are going to have to narrow them down & make some choices. We are deciding on:

Backstage Safari
Wild by Design
Keys to the Kingdom
Mickey's Magical Milestones

If anyone has been on these recently and can give us any imput or advice we would appreciate it greatly. Hopefully this will help us pick a couple to satisfy everyone!

Thank you very much! :wave:

We did the Keys to the Kingdom tour and thought it was fantastic. The guide gave out a lot of Disney "secrets" and little-known-facts and took us into several "backstage" locations including the tunnels. The tour group rode the Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion together to get another perspective of the attractions. We loved it and would definitely do it again!

My husband and I did Keys to the Kingdom 3 years age. It was fantastic. The guide told us many secrets of the world. We were able to see the "underground" of the MK which totally blew me away. They take you on some popular rides(no waiting in line) and tell you the story and some secrets of them also. Very interesting and worth the money. It includes a lunch at the Columbia Harbor House as well!!!

We just did Keys to the Kingdom and it was incredible. I'd recommend it to anyone. Very informative, backstage stuff was cool, and crossing under Main St in the utilidor was really neat. It's amazing just how much "show" everything is. The moment you step into the backstage where guests can't see it's like stepping through a curtain. It's that stark a contrast in how things appear. Very interesting. Also, our guide (Robin) obviously loved what she did and gave a lot of insight into company history, Walt & Roy, etc. We left that tour with a whole new appreciation for our happy place.

I have to agree on what everyone has said about the KTTK tour. My boyfriend and I first took it back in Feb, we liked it so much we took it again when we went in March. Out tour guides were Michael (in Feb) and Matthew (in March). I would love to take it again with a different tour guide.

two good ones...

The keys to the kingdom tour is good, I really enjoyed it. It also gives you lunch and you get to ride a couple rides. However, this May I took the wild by design tour and it was great! You get a little breakfast about an hour and a half in of muffins and danishes and we meet with two zoo keepers which I didn't expect. The other thing that was cool was we got into the park before anyone else so we saw the parrots being put out and we were right by everest as the park opened so we saw people walking toward us in a rush to get to the ride. Also the group was much smaller, it was only myself, my husband and another coupl, which made me more open to asking questions. If you want to go backstage, do keys to the kingdom, if not you might really enjoy wild by design...
