Hi everyone I am here right now and it is as awesome as ever. I will do a trip report when i get back but couldn't wait to share my experience.
I was on the fence about this tour. It is costly and a surprise who you will be spending the day with. However, I took the plunge knowing the kids would enjoy it. I am also very interested in behind the scenes and was excited myself.
We arrived at 10:30 checked in and had danish, muffins, cereal, and stuffed croissants. There was coffee, water and juice. Our guide came to our table and introduced herself. I was a little nervous at first because she didn't seem very enthusiastic. I asked how many would be in our group and she said 12 total. I was hoping that we would all get along and want to do the same things. It sounds like they just randomly put people together.
We started our tour at 11:00 and within about 5 minutes I knew it was going to be a good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice just more low key. She said we were going to do some behind the scenes and I was excited. I did request the mummy underneath tour.
We started at Transformers and went straight to the beginning of the line. We were on in about 5 minutes and it was really cool. There was the same procedure for every ride. We did minions then RRR. After RRR we went through the back stage area into IOA. It was cool coming in the back and going into Seuss Land. We did Hulk, Spider-man, Kong and Jurassic Park before lunch. Also after Spider-man we got to see where they do the maintenance on the vehicles and how they operate. It was really cool.
We had lunch at Thunder Falls Terrance it was really good. It was also a good deal with the quick service meal they give you. After lunch we went to Forbidden Journey, rode Hogwarts to Diagon Alley. We did Gringott's then went to mummy and Jimmy Fallon. We got to go under the track at mummy and it was so cool.
In between all the rides and back stage tours our guide was giving us lots of trivia on the park history and movies. Our group was awesome. Everybody got along and we all liked the same things. The youngest in our group was 11, there were 4 teens then adults.
At the end of the tour which was till 6:00 we got unlimited ep and 10% on purchases.
We really enjoyed this tour and if you have the money and are interested in back stage tours and having front of the line for the rides and a discount you should do it. The one thing that could make or break the day is the group you are put with. Otherwise it is a really cool experience.
