Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
We did the tour about 5 years ago, and found it very interesting. It is a long tour. It was about 5 hours long, and a lot of walking, but we found it well worth the money. I think that some of it is also what tour guide you get and how much you interact with them.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
I guess my feeling is that I have seen about as much as they'll show you on TV about "behind the scenes". I think they won't show you more than that.
I would not want to take that much time out of my Disney fun to do it. We don't go to WDW often enough ![]() I know Llama had a problem with it on some level.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
It's definately worth it if you have a GREAT knowledgable guide. It's a tour packed full of information and cool stuff you never get to see or experience anywhere else; like getting to see the parade floats in storage & learning how they work up close and personal, and also the hydro system behind Splash Mountain, etc. We did it once and really enjoyed it.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
This tour is something I have considered as a gift for DH's birthday- I guess its true what Wish says it really depends on what sort of guide you are assigned and what depth their knowledge.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
I would say yes but never took the tour yet and would love to hear if you take it what you thought of it

We did this tour in April and we loved it. It was worth the money. You should do it.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
It's really a matter of preference. I know I won't do it. It's because part of the magic to me is wondering how they did something without actually knowing how they do something. Sure, I know that I am probably right in my assumptions, but, trying to figure it out is a lot more fun to me.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
If you're a tour person, you'll like it. If you're not a tour person, skip it.
It does get a little long towards the end and all tours do depend on how much the guide puts into it. It also includes lunch at Columbia Harbour House, and a special pin that isn't available anywhere for purchase.

Re: Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Is this worth the money?
I'll let you know after Labor Day weekend. DH and I are taking the tour on our kid free trip the last week of August. If you have a Disney Visa you get a small discount.
