Just got back from 8 days at Disney and wanted to review the Family Magic Tour since I couldn't find anything on it before we went, just a lot of people wanting to know more.
To start my family is me and DH (both in our 30s), DS - 7, 4, 2
Our group consisted of 17 people, all families expect two girls in there 20s.
We started at 10am at the Chamber of Commerce and were on a search to find Stitch would had escaped and hidden some other characters stuff around MK. The tour included a water bottle for everyone.
The clues had you looking for items from some recent movies. It started and went down main street, over to Liberty Square, Adventure Land, and then we got to ride Winnie the Pooh. After that we headed to Tomorrow Land and met Peter Pan and had a 10 minute break after some photos.
We then headed through Tomorrow Land getting more clues that eventually tell you to take them to the boss (aka Mickey). So we went to see the talking Mickey. Even though we went into the FP line it still took a long time. We then went in as a group, met Mickey, took photos and the guide just said to Mickey he would take the stuff back for him. This was the only crappy part, very anti-climatic and the kids didn't even get what was going on. Considering Mickey can talk I thought Disney could do a lot better. At the end we also got a FP to use on any ride in the entire park or to see Mickey again. Could not be used on any other Character experiences.
For us it was nice to fit into our 3rd day at MK and am glad we did it. We have been sick with the flu since coming home so I haven't downloaded my camera yet and I can post some photos if anyone would like. I don't however want to post too many specific photos as I don't want to ruin the magic.
Questions? ask away.

, but to me the tour sounds just, o.k. Kind of like SOTMK on steroids. 
We don't do SOTMK either, just not how we prefer to spend our time in the parks.
