Looking for input on possible DLR trip

[hobie16]

I am currently looking at Criss Angel Believe, but feel free to suggest any type of show that is not adult in nature.

If a Vegas columnist can be believed (no pun intended), Criss Angel Believe is a unmitigated disaster. I think Donny & Marie, Love or Blue Man Group should fit the bill.

We already have Blue Man Group tickets, that is why we can't change the dates anymore. Only one of us would like Donny & Marie so right now I am thinking "Phantom of the Opera" of one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. So love is an option.

Yeah, I have seen mixed reviews for Criss Angel Believe, but it seems most of them were from people who went in looking for the standard Criss Angel magic routine which it isn't.

The Blue Man Group is cool. I saw them at Universal Studios Florida. We enjoyed the show and thought it was great. :)

Alright, this show situation is now under control with a slight schedule change. This schedule is final because I don't want to go through the trouble of changing everything again. We now leave on May 24th and stop in Vegas and see Blue Man Group. We finish driving to Anaheim with a stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain on May 25th, when I will walk over(we are staying across the street) to get my fun card. We then take May 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th to enjoy the parks at our leisure. We drive back to Vegas on May 30th when we will see Penn & Teller and spend the night before returning home on May 31st.

This new schedule also seems to open up a new tour possibility because we will be there on a Friday. We could now take the "Discover the Magic" tour, but I need some feedback. From what I can tell, this tour seems geared toward a younger crowd, and the youngest in our group is 21 years old. Of course we are all Disney fanatics. Do you think this would be a good tour for us to take? I really just want to do something other that "A Walk in Walt's Footsteps," not because I don't like it, but because it is what we always do.

I have been doing a little more looking into the "Discover the Magic" tour and from what I have read it sounds like a lot of fun, but most of what I read is from around 2004. I did find one that was more recent, and they also did one earlier and said the recent one wasn't as good. Needless to say I am looking for more recent information on this tour because it does sound like a lot of fun, but I also want to know that it is still as good as the reports say. If anyone has done(or is willing to do) this tour recently what did you think? The main article I read was at http://www.laughingplace.com/News-ID508670.asp. So that would be a good comparison point(I know that every tour is different, but I am looking at overall, not just the story).

Thanks

Unnn, how about just jumping into the Disney web site and reading it there?

Thats where we first read about the Segway tour at WDW, and later the one at DLR.

It was the information from Disney that got me looking. It doesn't address my main question, "Will it be fun for 6 22+ year olds?" The more I look into the more I think that it used to be, but isn't anymore. From all of the old descriptions I have seen I think it would be fun, but hearing a little bit of more recent information makes me question this. So if anyone who has done the tour recently(or is willing to go do it) could give me information on what the tour is currently like I would be very grateful. Also, anyone who works with the tour in anyway that knows what it is like any information you could give would also be appreciated.

Got ya! You need more info beyond that post stuff!!

The only input that I can give you is that we have taken a lot of the tours at WDW and DLR, and have never been disappointed.

I still say you should go on the Segway tour, but I know that with a group that big, you will not be able to please everyone on any one tour.

I really do want to do the Segway tour, but I want to do the tour as a family and there are people who don't meet the weight restrictions, otherwise I would.

I understand. The first time we took the tour at WDW, one of the lady's in the group simply could not master the Segway during our "training" period, and opted out.
