Question of the DAY!!!

DH and I are wanting of doing something else inside the parks or WDW so my question is ...

Do you do tours in WDW? If so which ones?

We're on the Double Digit dance today too! It seems there are a bunch of us arriving on the same day

Last year we rented a 4 person bike at the boardwalk and rode around the boardwalk with it. We haven't done any tours though as littlest dd was always under the age limit for everything. I really want to do the keys to the kingdom tour one day but our time in the parks is quite limited so not this trip.

we wanted to do a tour this time also but having a hard time choosing one. We did the Keys to the Kingdom Tour (MK) last year which was awesome. Really, really good. The best part (IMO) is that you get to go on one of the rides. Just makes it more fun vs. just walking around all day, kwim?
So this year, we were all set to book the Backstage Magic tour which takes you to all 4 parks. Super excited for it. Then I started reading more about it and found you don't get any rides on this one. It's longer than the KTTK tour (I believe this is 7 hours) and a LOT of money ($250/pp), and I just feel like for that kind of time and money, I want to at least get to go on a COUPLE things! So now I'm leaning towards not doing it.

And none of the other tours (mostly at EP or AK) really interest me so....

SO glad I'm not alone haha. With all the Frozen hype I'm feeling it still

I've done Keys to the Kingdom and the Wild Africa Trek. LOVE them both!!
We really enjoyed the WAT more than we thought we would. Eating on the savanna, feeding the hippos, and walking over the crocodiles was one of the most awesome things we've ever done lol
We are taking our nephews this year otherwise I'd be doing another tour. and of course stuck in the same boat as you....trying to figure out which one lol

Woot! We are double celebrating too!

99 days until we leave on vacation (100 days until we arrive in Orlando, but our getaways always kick off in Syracuse the day prior), and.....

I found DH a pair of water shoes in a size 13! Ordered them this morning, should have 'em in 6-12 days!

Last year we went horseback riding at Fort Wilderness. That was a lot of fun.

Woot! We'll be in FLA two days after you. Glad DH now gets a pair of water shoes.

I've added, changed, and deleted ADRs too many times already. I still am not sure I will stick with the current line up. I need to start bugging my ITT office to get my tickets. I know we have some time before we get to pre-select F+, but my ITT office can be really slow.

No tours for us right now. Was thinking about the one at AK, but not sure. The only one we have done was the Seas Aqua, and my DD still talks about it years later. That was her bday present.

Wow I didn't know we could do that... I just wish I wasn't so of horses running away with me on them

I had never been on a horse before and was nervous about that too, but you have guides with you. The horses only walk. They don't even trot. It was very pretty to see the trails I didn't even know existed on Disney property. Oh and most of the horses have Disney names. I rode Merlin, DS was on Mushu, and DD was on Jack Sparrow.
