Backstage Magic Tour Questions

[Shell76]

For those of you who have done this, did you find it was worth the $199 per person? Did it take the entire 7 hours to complete?

yes it is....but let me clarify.....

You finish in the magic kingdom, sooo.....you don't need a park ticket for that day, so plan your park passes accordingly. They let us stay in the park

It does take 7 hours or so. When I did it years ago, there were a few times I thought it was boring (Learning how to draw mickey / pluto etc took an hour), but for the most part it was exciting.

The tour included lunch at MGM, and behind the scenes at all the parks including the utilidors under MK!

This tour would NOT be good for young kids.

They use an a/c'd motor coach to transport you from park to park, but it includes a LOT of walking, so be prepared.

You get TONS of value for $199, plus you might be able to get those discounts everyone talks about.

Hope that helps

I did this tour last summer and it was well worth it. We did get the AP or DVC discount (which ever was better).
There was a bit of walking, but there were some older Disney guests that were on the trip and for the most part... they did ok (a lot of stopping in between.)
We were able to see the x-mas decoration storage facility (they work year-round to get ready for the next season), the disney florist, the american pavillion in epcot, underground utilidors at MK, a great lunch at Mama Melrose's in MGM.

There were so many interesting things that we learned, it was well worth the price.
