Backstage Magic tour in August or December?

[armerida]

Wondering if anyone could weigh in...My husband and I really want to do the Backstage Magic tour, especially with the new change of lunch at Tiffins, but I'm wondering if we would be better off waiting until December versus doing it in August due to heat/weather.

We did Keys to the Kingdom last August and while it was amazing, the heat was pretty brutal, and Backstage Magic is twice as long! Was thinking maybe to do DestiNations or Undiscovered Future World instead this summer since they are shorter...

Thanks for any info!

I haven't done the tour, but if December is an option I'd pick that month. August is way too hot for me to commit to a long tour.

Definitely December. 1) WAY cooler than August and 2) tour is slightly different (so I am told) around Christmas. We did the tour in May and visited the repair shop. I am told that the holiday tour went to the Christmas tree building (whatever it is actually called).

I did the tour in December last year. Excellent tour!!! was so much fun!!!

Def do it in Dec. You will spend a lot of time outdoors and also in the CENTRAL SHOPS. I do not know if the Central Shops have AC or not.

Aslo FWIW, I had lunch at Tiffins last week for the first time and it was EXCELLENT!!!

Wow thanks so much for the responses - seeing different Christmas stuff sounds cool! I think that’ll be my husband’s and my gift to each other this year!

I may be wrong, but I haven't heard of the Backstage Magic tour changing during Christmas. You may be thinking of the Yuletide Fantasy tour. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/yuletide-fantasy/

Yes. I went first week of December last year and saw NOTHING that was Christmas related on the tour. The Yuletide tour does all of the christmas decorations.
