Should we do a tour?

[yellowfish78]

My DBF and I are going in September to Disney for 9 nights (Sat-Sun). I would love to do a tour at one of the parks, just because, and not really for no special reason. But here's the catch...we plan on doing MNSSHP, Universal for 1-2 days with their Halloween Horror Nights, as well as spending some time at the Food and Wine Festival. I think I could fit in a *small* tour somewhere...I really can't plan any of my days yet due to the park schedules not being out yet, but I think we could fit one in...
So if I do a tour, does anyone have any suggestions? So far I have it narrowed down to the following:
Mickey's Magical Milestones 2 hrs (haven't heard any reviews on this one yet...)
Backstage Safari Tour 3hrs
Wild by Design 3hrs
Around the World on a Segway 2hrs (just because it's on a Segway!)
Keys to the Kingdom 5hrs (but it's 5 hours!!)

I know quite a few people that have done the KTTK, so I'm really looking for reviews or suggestions on the others...I think KTTK is actually at the bottom of my list right now.

Thanks for the suggestions!

My family did the Mickey's Magical Milestones tour in December. Waste of time for us. We did it because the whole family could go. It was ok, just not any new information.

My DH and I did the segway tour last February. That so rocked! If you can, I would do it.

Here's a link to tours from Deb Will's site:

I did the Keys to the Kingdom tour a few years ago and found it to be the most entertaining and informative tour that you could possibly take. It gives you a understanding of the history of WDW, how it operates and how the cast members treat the guests. I highly recommend it.

I did the Segway tour last Sunday Morning. There are 2 different times for this, 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM and 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. I took the earlier tour and loved it. The first hour is spent inside learning to ride a Segway. They do an excellent job training you. The second hour is spent on the Segway going around World Showcase. If you take the early tour you are in World Showcase from 9:30 to 10:30, very few people are out then and you can ride side by side. If you do the later tour you are in World Showcase from 10:30 to 11:30. There are more crowds then with the World Showcase opening at 11 and you have to ride single file. I loved the Segway tour because of riding the Segway. You did not get as much background info on World Showcase. This tour is really all about the Segway.

Either tour will give you a great experience. If you have the time you should definately take the Keys to the Kingdom tour for the information on Disney that you get. If you don't have the time the Segway tour is very fun.

i did Mickey's Magical Milestone(i think that's what it's called) and Keys to the Kingdom. both were a lot of fun! although, i must say, i had much more fun on the Keys tour! you get to go on a few rides in MK without waiting in line and you get to go under ground and once you're down there....you can ask them WHATEVER you want! lol. plus you get lunch with it too. the Mickey one was a lot of fun also. you learn a lot of interesting things about Mickey through out the years and when i went i got to meet Mickey and Donald and we got a pair of (regular, not gold) mouse ears with our names on them.
