Backstage Tour

We had our Disney "Behind The Scenes" tour. This took us to the places that visitors don't usually get to see. This included the set building area, costume design and production, Christmas storage area, underground utility corridors as well as other areas.

I particularly liked the peek underneath the animatronics show that is the American Adventure.

No cameras were allowed during most of this tour.

Lunch was included as well as chilled water during the day.

One handy thing was the supply of radio ear pieces that allowed us all to hear the group leader even when she was 20 feet away - handy as she didn't have the loudest voice! This worked very well until pretty much everyone's battery had died!

The tour started in Epcot, moved through MGM studio and ended at Magic Kingdom where we stopped to watch the parade. Only there did I manage to get any photos.

Once the seven hour tour was complete, we stayed in Epcot, where we were dropped off, and visited a couple of attractions.

We also managed to find our 2005 Leave A Legacy photo that is supposed to be at Epcot for 20-odd years.

Finally, at 9pm, there was the daily firework display so we stayed for that.

We had arrived very early this morning, so our car was parked near the entrance, which was a big benefit as we were both getting tired by now (so much so that we ended up leaving some of our shopping at Walgreens! We'll need to go and retrieve it this morning).
