Backstage tour, Cirque or Dinner Show?

Hi, If you had the choice and could only do one of the following, what would it be and why?
Going to of any Orlando Dinner show, any of the backstage tours or Cirque du Soleil at DTD.
thanks

We did the BST for our 25th anniversary at my suggestion and we had a fantastic time. Great LEARNING and ENTERTAINING experience, time and money well spent. Have done a few Dinner Shows, no CdS though, really not my cup of tea.

We did the backstage magic tour in 2001, it was the best, learned a lot on how Dinsney runs everyting.
I highly recommend this tour if you have the time (7hrs.) and the money (199.00+tax per person).

I did a BS tour with the Disney Institute before the institute got shut down, and I loved every minute of it. I recommend it wholeheartedly over the other two options - mind you, I really, really hate the dinner shows in Orlando... especially the wild west one.

Is there a lot of walking in the BST?

I am planning on booking this for December. Not sure if my Mom could handle it if there is a lot of walking.

Thanks

Keys to the Kingdom Tour was incredible. Lots of fun and we sure did learn a lot. There wasn't too much walking. Often you'd walk a bit and then stand or sit in an area to talk more. I didn't find it to be a lot of walking. I've also heard from others on the boards that they did not either.
I highly recommend Keys tour!

Here is a great tour link. http://wdwig.com/tours.htm

I have taken 8 tours, including BSM. ALL are great. I have seen Cirque twice, and would see it again. Very good also. I doubt I will ever see an Orlando dinner show.

Don't forget the various discounts on the tours and also some discounts (AP) are available at times with Cirque.
