Looking for impressions on new free backstage tours at Rafiki's Planet Watch: TOURS ENDED MAY 19th!

I too hope they continue this - we would love to do it this summer.

We took the tour last Tuesday (May 15) and my husband and I were the only ones for the 2:45 pm tour and no one was signed up for the 3:45 tour when we checked in. You don't need to sign up early. We did go out earlier and saw the 11:30 am "It all started with a Mouse" show which was a nice little animal show. But we had horrible timing with the train, so going out and back twice took a lot a time. (we always arrived after they closed the gates for the train, so we watched it depart and had to wait ~15 minutes for the next train)
We saw the nutrition center and the science center (which you can actually see from the windows). The tour was pretty simple - it was nice, but not exciting. We didn't regret doing it, but this was not our first visit either, so we were open to doing different things.

we did this in April and LOVED IT!!! our tour lasted over 45 min and was so interesting. Our tour was the last one of the day and full at 14 people.

At Rafiki's now.

The tours ended on Saturday (5/19).
Feedback has been good and hopefully they will be brought back in some capacity according to the CM I talked to.

Now that the Tours have ended and are no longer an available AK Attraction, closing.
