Tour information for the Trip.

JEDIPRINCESS · 12-21-2005, 10:30 AM

To all that is going in February or anyone who has been on a tour. I'm going to post a poll on what some of the tours that we can do while we are down. If there is a tour not posted that intrest you please post it in thread with days and amount.

If your not going and have been on any of the tours suggestion and feedback on these tours or ones not posted will be helpful.

Please keep in mind that some of us are AP holders and we are able to get discount up to certain amount of people. So if think a tour we may pick is pricey don't worry it going to be discounted.

Also keep in mine these are just a few that are offered at the parks.Also if you done any or all these tours let us know or even if you heard about them.

Okay here they go:

Animal Kingdom

Backstage Safari Tour
Price:$65
Discount:15%
Days:Monday, Wenesday,Thrusday, and Friday
About:From what I read on Allears as well as heard from others this tour take you behind the scenes at the Animal Kingdom. You apparently get to see how they care and feed the animals, you get to see the backstage animal housing area,meet some of the keepers,and the Animal Nutrition Center. Apparently from what I actually heard as well as read you may or may not see animals depending on if they are out in the safari or if they are doing something with them.

EPCOT
FYI:I personaly think EPCOT has some the better tours out of the four parks. Bein a water baby( by the way I'm a certify Lifeguard, and Water Safety Instructor )Sorry I had to add that for good measure . Their Living Seas tour are great. Here are a few of the EPCOT tours:

Around at the World on a Segway
Price:$80
Discount:15%
Days:Runs twice daily one at 8:30am and 9:30am
about: You get to learn how to ride those stand up decives that the cast members in EPCOT zoom around on the first hour and the second hour you tour around World Showcase before it officially opens to visitors.Tour lasts two hours. I read on Allears as well as other sites this is a fun tour. Since this one does fill up fast we need to book asap on this one if we choose it.

Dolphins in Depth
Price:$150
Discount:15%
Days:Monday-Firday 9:45am last about 3 hours(Goes by fast)
about: A behind-the-scenes experience for Guests interested in learning more about the dolphins and research at The Living Seas, as well as those wanting to increase their awareness and appreciation for dolphin counterparts in the wild.Okay as we all know I done this tour. It by one of my favorite tours I have done so far in Disney. Don't worry if you can't swim or scuba dive you won't be require to do it.If your not scare of fish swimming around you or the water you will be fine. I will say you learn a lot on this tour and it fun because you really get to see the backstages of the living seas and how they care for the animals. The Dolphin are so much fun. You will need to have your bathing suit and towel. Don't worry they have a great locker room and they provide you with locks and also you can shower and blow dry your hair. As you can see my personal fave but don't let that influence your decision

Magic Kingdom
Keys to the Kingdom
Price:$58 (This also inculdes a lunch as part of the tour)
Discount:15%
Days:Monday -Firday 8:30, 9:00 & 9:30am Four fFive hour tour

Guests also visit the MAGIC KINGDOM Production Center, where they see storage facilities for the floats.Read on this tour there are quite a few surprises not sure what they are but I have been on a few tours and usually you get a suprise meet and greet and almost always in the Magic Kingdom Tours you get to get on attractions without waiting in line.

Price:$25
Discount:15%

Thanks Kyle any and all information will help.

4Mickey · 12-21-2005, 02:17 PM

OK, I voted for 3:

The Dolphin Experience- would be sooooo cool, but would feel bad if you had to do the same tour twice (although you seem to want to do it again!
Keys to the Kingdom- Never done it & seems like it would be pretty good for the money. Would love to see the utilidors
Mickey Magical Tour- I love mickey mouse so this one would intrest me as well

Again, since I've never done any of them... I wouldn't be disappointed in doing any of them! Have i mentioned how excited I am yet?

DissyLove · 12-21-2005, 02:20 PM

I voted for the Segway tour and/or keys to the kingdom. I would do one of these, and likely only one tour with my budget. And I would rather not shoot an entire day with the tour, as I wanna ride Peter Pan about a thousand times

and, of course...SOARIN!

4Mickey · 12-21-2005, 02:22 PM

WOO HOO Peter Pan & Soarin!!!! I'm so excited!!!
You like the thought of flyin' don't ya?

DissyLove · 12-21-2005, 02:28 PM

Yes, I do!

Conceited Ape · 12-21-2005, 02:29 PM

Fun fact: Segways can actually reach speeds in excess of 100mph, if they're tied to a truck with enough tow rope, anyway.

In more ways than one if you catch my drift

DissyLove · 12-21-2005, 02:42 PM

Note to self: Do not tie your segway to a vehicle.....good tip.

I would like to fly. Just like Peter Pan says, "I can fly!!!"
