Which tour would you take? Does anyone know the costs?
We were thinking of :
1. Keys to the Kingdom
2. Backstage Magic
3. Mickey's Magical Milestones
Just wondering if anyone knew the costs of these, and which ones you would recommend?
Never been on a tour and thought it would be something new and different.

We did Keys to the Kingdom about 3 years ago and really enjoyed it!  I can't remember the exact cost, but I do know that we rec'd a discount by using our Disney Visa.

I have been tempted several times to do the Keys to the Kingdom-- but I hate to give up the time with the rest of the family to go on it. I think I will do it when it's just me and DH ---many years in the future.

My family did the Keys To The Kingdom tour last August and we LOVED it! The cost was about $65 each, but well worth it!

Here's information on the various tours offered.
The only you mention that I've done is the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Both my husband and I greatly enjoyed that one!

DH and I have done Keys to the Kingdom as well. Definitely worth it! I think current cost is about $70, but with Disney Visa you get a 20%discount.
Tour includes lunch at Columbia Harbour House and several attractions. (We did Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise)
All guests wear headphones so you can hear the guide clearly no matter where he is in relation to you. That was great!
Our guide made regular rest room stops which was very much appreciated! He was also very good about stopping to talk in areas where there was shade and ample seating so we could have a break every now and then.

I did the Keys to the Kingdom tour with my dad last year before my wedding and it was fabulous! We had a great time and learned a LOT.

I am leaning toward Keys to the Kingdom, i need a knee replacement and was going to rent an EVC from an outside company. i can walk some distances, and never know when my knee will act up. should i take the tour walking, (are they slow and enough breaks) or should i take the EVC? I am really nervous about renting one because I may be able to walk, and don't want people thinking i am using one when I don't really need to.

Big Sis and I did the Mickey's Magical Milestones tour last trip and LOVED it. Cost was somewhere around $25. Lasts about two hours or so. Highly recommend it!

another tour that I have heard was great is the Christmas Building Tour. My mother saw something about it on Travel Channel. Don't know details but something to look into.

Can you use a wheelchair on any of these tours?
Has anyone done the Backstage Safari at Animal Kingdom?

We did the Gardens of the World tour last month at Epcot (available only during the Flower and Garden Festival). We absolutely loved this tour...got a discount by using our Disney VISA to pay for it so I think it was around $59 per person. A Disney Horticulturist is the guide and it is extremely interesting.
