We had the 9:00 tour. Park opened at 8:30 for EE, and we took the monorail over. We didn’t bother with trying to sneak in a ride first, just went straight over to Town Square Theater and checked in. They gave us our headsets, took our lunch orders, and we each got a bottle of water.This sounds wonderful! What time was your tour?
It was easy to hear everything, the pace was comfortable for everyone and bathroom breaks were well timed. It’s really hard to say what we liked best (we are 2 adults) - it was all interesting, even the utilidores -we spent probably about 45 minutes down there. The backstage area where they keep the parade floats was also interesting, although you just walk through- you can’t enter any buildings.
We had always been interested in this tour but didn‘t want to sacrifice 5+ hours of park time, but now we visit more often and have time to spare - it is well worth the time if you are interested in the history and background of Disney!
