Let's talk TOURS!

Whether you're a Disney World newbie, or someone who's been dozens of times, there's always something new to see and do at Walt Disney World.  Today, I'm going to highlight just a few of the fun tours offered that you may, or may not know about.

Animal Kingdom:

Do you enjoy the safari, but like me, wish it was a little longer?  If you answered "Yes" then the Wild Africa Trek might be for you!  It's a 3 hour long private Safari, including lunch, lots of photos of your journey, and a special souvenir.

Price varies from $189- $249 per person.  Participants must be at least 8 years old, and 48" tall.  *** From April 19- October 17th, 2015 get $50 OFF the cost of your tour!!! ***

Epcot:

Learning never goes out of style at Disney's EPCOT.  Let's take a look at the Behind the Seeds tour.  This is a 1 hour tour where you'll get to visit the fish farm during feeding time, see some alligators, check out some huge fruits and vegetables, learn about the latest agricultural advances (like hydroponics), and get some pointers on taking care of your own garden at home.

Price is $16 for children and $20 for adults.  All ages are welcome, but I would recommend leaving the little ones with someone else while you enjoy this tour.  Otherwise, you might miss some good info!

Hollywood Studios:

While not a tour, I feel like this is something every child needs to do at least once!  I will be writing a blog post with more info about this soon, but for now, I will keep it short and sweet.  Hollywood Studios' Jedi Training Academy is so much fun!  Just for kids, ages 4-12.  Your child will become a padawan for about 20-30 minutes, while they get the chance to fight Darth Vader. The spots for this fill up quickly, so you will want to go straight to the sign up area at rope drop.  When we did it, we walked over to the sign up area as soon as the park opened, and we ended up at a 12:30 show. (Note: Your child MUST be present at the sign up)




This is FREE!  Just remember to get there early to reserve your child's spot!!

Magic Kingdom:

I haven't done this one, but it's at the top of my Disney bucket list!!  The Keys to the Kingdom tour at Disney's Magic Kingdom park is one of their most popular tours.  This 5 hour tour will take you all over the Magic Kingdom, where you will learn park secrets, visit the famous underground Utilidors, learn park facts and trivia, have lunch, and get a fun souvenir!

The price for this tour is $79 per person.  All participants must be 16 years or older.
