Tours/Experiences at Disney

[weewuvvdisney]

Years ago (probably 1999) I went with a friend to the Dolphin Experience at Epcot. We had an amazing time. Came home with a vhs video and a tshirt. A number of years later, (probably 2010) my DH and daughter also went. They enjoyed it but the dolphins were not in a fun mood. When they don't want to play, they switch them out for other dolphins. Due to that, their actual interaction time was limited. They came home with a picture of both of them with a dolphin. It was an amazing experience for all of us.

Not sure but I think that they no longer have the dolphins at the Living Seas. I hope I am wrong.

What are your favorite tours/experiences at the parks?

Thanks!

Oh my, we’ve done several and loved them all!

Backstage Magic many, many years ago was fantastic. It was an all day tour, and I especially remember backstage at Body Wars (yes, it was that long ago), American Adventure, and the computer room that controlled everything including parade music at MK. We’ve also done the MK WDW Railroad, Keys to the Kingdom, and Caring for Giants. Another favorite was one at AK during which we watched the vets amputate a crocodile’s leg. We’ve enjoyed the tour of the Land Pavilion more than once, too.

Anyone remember Lunch with an Imagineer? We met Theron Skees, who had just returned from overseeing a major attraction in Paris and was on his way to Hong Kong. Later I saw him on a video showing how they created the spring at Disney Springs.

I've taken quite a number of tours but most I took in the past are gone or at least name changed, The Keys to the Kingdom in MK was great is an old standby for many guests over the years. A big one in the past was Backstage Magic, a 3 park, all day tour, but seems to be no longer avfailable.

Here is a current list.

Excellent, at the Brown Derby. Still have my autographed plate.

We've taken Wild Africa Trek, Up Close with Rhinos, Keys to the Kingdom. I've done Caring for Giants and Behind the Seeds. Really loved all of them. I am trying to get my husband to take Behind the Seeds because it's so easy.

Over the years I had taken maybe 10 or so tours. As said earlier, most are gone. But I must say I NEVER had a bad tour. They were LL very much fun and informative.
