We love this tour! We have done it twice and will be doing it again on our New Year's trip. It is a cross between a scavanger hunt and Simon Says. Each tour has a quest (on our tour all the bad characters had turned the happy endings to sad ones) We followed "clues" and did what the clues told us to do (barking through town square, hopping through Tomorrow land, etc...) At the end of the tour we wait in a private "groto" and a character, sometimes two come out to meet you. It is wonderful! It is very intimate contact with the character (we had Peter Pan on both our tours... he even seemed to remember my dds!?) After a little ceremony and autograph/picture time the character and kids head off to ride a ride, we rode It's A Small World on both our tours. I can not say enough special my children felt (me too!) You do have to be willing to do silly things, but WDW brings out the child in all of us. It is the best money spent at WDW ( $ 25 per person no matter what age) I think we got a small discount because of our annual passes. We always do character dinners and we were even going to do the Magical Gathering but for our money the Family Magic Tour is the way to go. I think the tour has a max of 20 people, where as the Magical Gatherings can have triple that amount of people. My girls can't wait to do it again!
