Keys to the Kingdom BEFORE MK?

[ILoveMyDVC]

Good morning,
Many years ago I did the Keys to the Kingdom tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a guest coming with me next month who saw 1/4 of MK and 1/4 of EPCOT in 1982 and hasn't been back since then. I can only book the tour on our first day at 8:00 a.m. which means he would do the tour without having really seen the Magic Kingdom. Thoughts?

I did the KttK tour last summer. I'm not sure it makes much difference if they 'know' MK. They will basically be learning A LOT of facts and information that most don't know so the information is new to all. Personally I would still book the tour but that's a personal call.

How difficult was it to get this tour?
Really want to try it next time we visit… maybe next year when we go for FotA.
Thanks!

It will be great for him to learn the unique things on the tour, and then enjoy seeing them as you enjoy your day at MK.

We booked it the first day it was available and had our choice of times but I wouldn’t wait too long to book, just to be on the safe side. You can look at 60 days out and monitor how the tours are filling.

I don't think I would do the tour prior to visiting MK and experiencing it "onstage". I had been to MK probably 100 times before doing KTTK and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, it took a little of the magic away quite honestly. Plus, I think you kind of need to know MK and maybe even a little bit of Disney history to full enjoy that tour, IMHO.

This is my core belief. He would not have seen any parks before the tour. There is one time available on our first full day.
