I thoroughly enjoyed the tour when I went several years ago, and would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I enjoyed it much more than the Backstage Magic tour, which took eight hours and cost $200+!
Sounds like you (OP) have been to WDW at least a few times. If so, I'd recommend doing the tour, since your family isn't interested. Since the tour includes at least a couple of rides and lunch, you'll be able to check those things off your list. Schedule your FPs for late afternoon/evening, and have a wonderful time!
