We did the backstage tour, the full day one. It was very cool. Without trying to reveal too much, they demo the animatronics and how the newer ride cars work, They took us through costuming from design to laundering to distributing (all very high tech), and we got to see backstage cast areas and the famous utilidors. We also a toured the shop, where they build and repair all of the rides and props. The actual stops change, so your tour may be different. This is a must for people who want to know the how and why, and a must not for those who like their magic to stay as it is.

Still on my to-do list is horseback riding, high tea at the Grand Floridian, and Victoria and Albert's chef's table. My husband dreams of scuba diving in the Living Seas, but he has to get his scuba certification first.
