Tours - Which would you do?

[ktglads]

I am looking into booking a tour for my trip to WDW in December and have it narrowed down to 2: The Keys to the Kingdom and the Backstage Magic. Has anyone done both and if so, which would you reccommend? Or is there an other one entirely that you would reccomend?

This would be for 2 25 y/o females who have been to WDW many times, this being the 3rd trip of the year for this year.

Thanks!

I voted Backstage magic as it takes in 3 parks not just the MK. My DH, myself and our 2 friends are booked on this tour for our December trip. Our friends have done the tour before and loved it so much they decided to do it again with us. We are also doing the segway tour as that just looks like good fun!!

I would like to do the Seqway tour at Epcot. I doubt I'll get to since my kids are too small and I would want to do it by myself.

The other specialty tours that would be cool if I had unlimited time and money are the WDW Railroad tour (you get to see them prepare the locomotive before park opening), and the in depth tour at the Land.

I wish the tours didn't require theme park admission. I'd definitly be more likely to do them then, because I wouldn't feel like I was missing out on doing something else.

Does the Backstage Magic tour require a hopper pass -- or do they deduct one-day of a regular MYW pass?

I don't believe that the Backstage Magic will cost you a day. Either way it doesn't matter to me as I have an Annual Pass so it would not cost me anything extra over the actual tour cost.

My wife and I took the Keys to the Kigdom tour two weeks ago today. We both throughly enjoyed it. It was a 5 hour walking tour full of information about the park, history, pictures, and many other not generally known things. We had lunch at Columbia House. We would do it again.

I voted Backstage Magic mainly because I've already done Keys to the Kingdom twice.

I heard that the backstage magic tour includes lunch at mama melrose. Is this still correct? We are thinking of doing this tour. We have done Keys, Undisc.future world, and wild by design. Also what parts of MGM do you get to tour?
