What Tours should we do?

[DizFan101]

Can anybody refer to me any tours under $100. Although I really want to do the segway tour at Epcot. . I guess I have to save save save. lol. When posting can you tell me what you get w/ the tour, lunch?/pins? anything special?

Can anybody also tell me what you do when you have already been to the parks a few dz times?? (Last year we ran into a couple that has gone to WDW 39 times!! Wow).

Great Question!!! My wife wants to do the Animal Wild Africa Trek and I would like to do that as well but I can't see spending $189 per person.

Hope someone gives you some good advice!!! I haven't got much.

I did the Fort Wilderness outdoor segway tour and go a pin of a segway. I loved my tour.

We did the Keys to the Kingdom tour a couple of years back and really loved it. Learned alot of little "trivia" about the park and did alot of backstage things. Great for anyone who loves Disney. Also did Wild by Design at AK which was good but definitely would recommend Keys to the Kingdom especially if you have not done any tours before.

Also, if you are a member of AAA, have an annual pass or are a DVC member, you get 15% of the price.

Hi,

its been a couple of years but we have done the Segway tour round Epcot (early morning one) - we got a pin - but a great tour - you get to see world showcase before it opens and it is so quiet.

Also done the offroad segway tour at Fort Wilderness - again great fun and we got a pin. Hard work on the knees though - needed a good rest afterwards.

Also did the backstage at the AK (not the new walk though safari) a few years ago - with a ride on the safari and a visit backstage at the vets station - again pin, but very informative and we stroked a rhino.

Also did the dolphins in depth (but many years ago before pins) - so we got a t-shirt and a video of our half day - guess it would be a pin and possibly a dvd now. Our whole family loved this one - we have to go say hi to the dolphins at the living seas everytime we visit now - even though they are probably not the same ones we interacted with.

I know they are expensive - but we have enjoyed everyone we have done.

I've done the Segway Around the World tour twice. If you have AAA, you can get a 15% discount. You get a cool Segway pin at the end, but nothing in the way of a meal or snack. Although when I did this in May, we all got a water bottle. Really fun tour and I would do it again!

I've also done the Behind the Seeds tour. Really cheap - again they gave a AAA discount and when I took it a couple of years ago, it was only something like 12 bucks. A nice educational tour, but mostly about innovative agriculture techniques. If you're not interested in innovative agriculture techniques (and who isn't? ) then this might not be for you. Also, many parts of the tour are spent standing and listening to your guide in non-air-conditioned areas. So factor that in as well.

i would do the early morning epcot segway tour but i heard you have to provide your own transportation because the buses don't run that early. . We always go via Magical Express. Never Rent a car.

We did the backstage AK tour too and stroked the rhino (Sampson). He was so funny, when they called him over he kinda looked at all of us with a face that said "not again". I loved this tour.

2nd Behind the seeds We have taken it twice and had a great time - learned stuff too. Got great pics holding Mickey shaped pumpkins! Really cheap and both times we had very knowledgeable guides. TERRA and LANDon. We thought the names were clever.

Just did this tour last week. Got the pin, but no water bottle.

And by the way, there were only two guests in the tour...DH & DD.

This is the first I've heard about tours...where can I learn more about them and their availability?

We did Backstage Safari a few years ago and loved it! It was really informative and fascinating. I loved going into the food prep area. We got a pin and some snacks. I have also done Behind the Seeds which was also good. It was only DH and I on the tour. We lucked out because both the tour before us and after us had more than 10 people. Our guide was there interning with the alligators and because of this and the small size, we got to feed them- which was really cool. I want to do Keys to the Kingdom and the all day one at some point.

Could someone tell me what time the backstage safari begins?
