While we were at WDW last week, we did the Behind the Seeds tour at Epcot in the Land. We had FPs for Soarin' and were waiting for the time to begin, so we did the boat tour in the Land. At the end, my son asked if we could do the Behind the Seeds tour that they mentioned. So we signed up for the 1:30PM tour. We got a DVC discount of 15% and it was only about $9 a person. We headed off to eat our Thanksgiving dinner at the Yacht Club Galley, then returned for our tour.
It was really cool. We got to see how they grow the Mickey shaped pumpkins. We got to eat some of the little tomatoes from the tomato tree. Very good and very sweet. The little kids on the tour were given ladybugs to release on the tour. We saw the ways they combat bugs with other bugs. They showed us the alligators - all about 6 months old. When they hit 6' long, they get shipped out for other reasons (and not for placement in the BCV lagoon). It lasted about one and a half hours. Now my son needs to decide if he still wants to be a veterinarian or a botanist/horticulturist.
