Behind the Scenes Tours

[naturalinsp]

Been to Disney many times and am thinking about a behind the scenes tour blitz next January. Just wondering if there are any tours that would overlap too much. For example: would the Behind the Scene Magic Tour overlap a lot with the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. (wondering about them all though)

We have done the Behind the Scenes tour as well as Keys to the Kingdom. We had a very enthusiastic CM for Keys to the Kingdom and it was really informative and fun. The CM for Behind the Scenes wasn't as peppy but it was a good tour. It did start to drag a little bit for it is quite long, but it was interesting. We have also done the Behind the Seeds tour at the Land and it was nice as well. Not much overlapping in the first 2 but if I had to do just one it would be Keys to the Kingdom.

I did the Backstage Safari tour recently and really enjoyed it. The guide was was very informative and a lot of fun. If you love Animal Kingdom, this is a great tour. You will not see many animals backstage but the information you learn makes you appreciate Animal Kingdom so much more. We did get to see a hippo up close eating in a barn and that was amazing.
We also did the regular Safari where the tour guide told us many interesting things along the way and we stopped longer in front of all the animals. I got my best pictures yet. I have done several other behind the scenes tours over the years but this was the one I have enjoyed most.

I did the Backstage Magic tour and it was wonderful! Backstage areas at all four parks including underground ultilidors, horticulture area and costumes. We did not go on any rides.

It was about 8 1/2 tour that was worth every penny. Amazing CM's with wonderful Disney knowledge.

There was a lot of walking and a lot was in the sun, August tour was crazy hot. We went through a ton of water. When we ran out, they brought more. Lunch was at Wilderness Lodge and was pretty good.

Totally agree. DH & myself just did the Backstage Safari tour last Thursday and he is still talking about how enjoyable it was.

We have also done the Behind the Seeds tour at Epcot and also enjoyed it so much we may do it again on a future trip.

The tours we've taken (KTTK and From Marceline to Main Street) were terrific. Most people here have great things to say about all of the tours.

However, a trip with a "blitz" of tours doesn't sound like a good idea to me. One tour, maybe two if they are in different parks would be plenty of organized touring for me. Maybe if you're staying for 2-3 weeks it would make more sense.

We are a very Academic family and have been thinking about doing this for a while. I love doing the same rides all the time, but the rest of the family is looking for something different.

It seems like a lot, but I got the idea back when Disney allowed the Premium Plan for one or two nights(now I think its three min). Looking at the KTTK, Backstage Magic, Undiscovered Future Wold, Wild By Design, and Backstage Safari. Not

Sounds Crazy, but it might be fun.

I leave in 14 days and will be staying for 12 nights. I'm booked to do: keys to the kingdom, marceline to magic, backstage safari and behind the seeds.

I will be doing a live tour review!
