If you have a chance to experience some of the behind the scenes
tours you should. They are really unique experiences and you can
learn quite a bit. Also note that most of the tours are included
on some Disney Vacation Plans. Another big consideration is that
most of the tours involve a substantial amount of walking and standing.
So be sure to plan accordingly.
I do not know if tours are the way to go for first time visitors.
I always think its best to explore the parks for yourself. It is
half the fun of it, and then you get to experience all the magic
and fantasy that is Disney. But once you have visited the parks
and want to know more about them then Tours are definitely a cool
thing to do because you can start to de-construct the magic… which
to a Disneygeek is as much fun as experiencing the fantasy worlds.
One thing to keep in mind is that the given end times for the tours
are approximate. Based on our touring experience they always seem
to run long, which is not a bad thing if you are paying for the
tour. So if you are planning reservations for say lunch after the
tour make sure you leave plenty of time because we had to cut a
tour short and run to make a reservation.
