This was a very good tour and when it's opened up to more folks will be well worth it. I've worked in many theme parks and in some ways Disneyland is just another park with a backstage area, only a lot bigger! The special thing about this tour is that they normally don't let folks like us backstage and that this is where the magic happens. The whole time you got glimpses of other areas and you always thought 'I wonder what's down that street' or 'what is inside that building'. And the tour itself didn't take away from the magic at all. We saw the fireworks launch site and rather than feeling that the "secret" was given away, I felt like we were in the middle of all the things that we see every time we visit. In some ways it's hard to describe. But it was great and I'm so glad to have been a part of it.
One of the best parts of the tour was being able to share it with other DISers. That really made it special and is definitely a big part of why the tour was so much fun. I would definitely go again.
Thanks for posting the review. The tour sounds like an abreviated version of the Behind the Scenes Tours they offered the year Indy opened. Too bad they didn't include some of the other things they did in the eralier version, like going up into the SM control booth.
