Backstage Tours: Which would you do?

[WDW Poly Princess]

I'm trying to decide for my next trip if I should do a) the 7 Hour ($199) Backstage Magic Tour, which covers MK, Epcot, and MGM, or do the Undiscovered Future World, Hidden Treasures of the World Showcase, and Wild By Design (Epcot, Epcot, AK, respectively- a total of $166 and 10 hours for all 3). I've done the Backstage Magic tour before, so I've already seen the Utilidors and such at MK, but if I do the 3 seperate tours, I won't be seeing anything at MGM. Any suggestions or opinions? (Too bad "Do all 4!" isn't an option )

We took the Keys To The Kingdom tour and while we enjoyed it a LOT it was 4-5 hours and seemed pretty long. I'd want to be well rested to go on a 7 hour tour.

How do you go about booking "Keys to the Kingdom"? How much? Does it require park-pass?

I have about 6 hours to "kill" on the day of departure back to Toronto (my flight is not until 7pm, so I'll have enough time to hang around Disney until about 3:30pm)

You can book KTTK by calling 407-WDW-Tour. I can't remember what the earliest time of day for it is (seems like 9am?), but if you do that one, you should have no trouble being finished by 3:30.

The tour is $58 (But you can usually save 15% with AP, Disney Club, or AAA), and does require park admission.

Have a great trip!

Since you already did the Backstage Magic Tour,(great tour )
I would say go ahead and do the other three. You can always do the Backstage again another time.

DH and I have done Hidden Treasures of World Showcase and just last August the Keys to the Kingdom tour in MK. Each was very informative with great CMs. I read reviews on Deb Wills site www.wdwig.com to help figure out what we might enjoy. I think our next venture will be one of the Animal Kingdom tours, probably the Backstage Safari since I'm more interested in the vet material than how the park was designed.

If you have the stamina, I think you'd like the 3 separate tours.

Oops! I messed up! I meant to say that I've done Keys to the Kingdom before, not Backstage magic! Doh!

If you have not done the Backstage Magic Tour, than I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! doing it this trip. Seven hours may seem a bit long to some people, but you are riding a bus for the most part. Don't get me wrong you get out and do a lot of walking too. And don't forget you get lunch at Momma Melrose(included in price of tour).
