Curiousity. I'm not letting it die without seeing it. I never saw it open.

Please do. I don't want to be a SG anymore!

Curiosity killed the cat, you know. There's things at WDW I'm curious to see but can't as I'm not supposed to go into that area, and I'm a Cast Member. I'm allowed lots of places no guest can go. I'm not going to duck ropes or slide around planters just to see a closed building.
Wanted to see the place? Then you should come during one of the festivals where they open up the main part of building, that way you can see the place without trespassing in a restricted area and get a better look while too.

Good. Stop going into places you don't belong and you'll be well on the way to being a non-SG.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I'm a 15-year-old, living in England. Once a year visitor, in August. Epcot isn't exactly local for me.

Point taken.

OK. No more sneaking around.

I would suggest that the next trip to WDW, you take the behind the scenes tour. the one we took lasted all day, and started out at Epcot, went to DHS, and then the Magic Kingdom. Well worth the price. We got to see just enough of behind the scenes to satisify our curiousity, and it also gave us a deeper appreciation for what the CM's do at their various parts.
I seem to remember that there is a minimum age. I Think its 16.

All tours that go backstage have a minimum age of 16. Sounds like you went on the Backstage Magic tour. I'd love to go on that tour but can't justify the cost, even with my Cast discount, at this time.

Yeah, it was great. We found out about in as we were finishing our vacation one year, so we had to wait an entire year till we could go. (We did get a discount for using a Disney Visa card) The tour included lunch. Well worth it to spend a vacation day on a tour!!
And the Segway tour is pretty good too!
(been on that twice at WDW, and once at DCA)

I want to go on the Segway tour sometime. It looks fun. I've tried out a Segway at Innoventions before and found I tend to stand with my weight forward naturally as I had a very hard time keeping it still. I'll have to work on that before going on the tour.
I went on the Keys to the Kingdom tour years ago (long before becoming cast) and want to go on it again just for kicks considering the MK is my park and the main backstage area they see is Main Street I probably won't learn much and won't see anything I don't normally see already but it'll be fun anyway.
The only tour I've done since becoming a CM is the Behind the Seeds tour at the Land. I found out about while riding Living with the Land one time and decided to go on it. It was interesting, and most importantly it was cheap so I could actually afford it.

You could always stalk them. :D:

Not true. The "Behind the Magic of Our Steam Trains" tour goes backstage and the minimum age for that is 10.
The rest of the backstage tours, yeah, 16.

And I highly recommend this one! In fact, when we visit in June I am planning on doing this one again, and hopefully taking some families members who are traveling with us along.
