Scrappy: Keys to the Kingdom is a GREAT tour!!! I recommend that one to friends all the time!!! and yeah, you're access to the "tunnel" system is super super super restricted... in fact, a lot of what you see there is staged.... LOL Guest are never allowed in the real workings down there.... I do get back to Disney Parks quiet often.... I never really schedule in advance though... Right now I'm just a short 8 hour drive from Orlando, so it's easy weekend trips for me usually.... I have free admission and got my partner a annual pass so we are pretty spur of the moment. I've stayed in every resort on property... and I have to honestly say that my favorite of all time is Fort Wilderness Campground and All Star Movie..... I love the atmosphere at both..... and since we're huge camping fans, we love taking a tent!!!
Lizzy and Scrappy: I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the restaurant in the Canada pavilion called Le Cellier Steakhouse. It's got a great atmosphere, decent price, great service and the food is like none other!!! You do have to schedule priority dining two to four months in advance depending on when you are visiting! I also NEVER miss a chance to get the best loaded nachos in the world from Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. It's a small, off to the side little place across from Pirates called Tortuga Tavern. And, I would be a bad CM if I didn't mention some of the best BBQ Beef in the world at the Diamond Horseshoe in Frontierland. Both MK places are very affordable!!!
As far as things do to..... well, I spend a lot of time stalking my friends who are still there and surprising them at their shows and parades..... You can get some amazing character shots when you're with me... I draw a lot of attention... hahhaa... which is why I always try to find someone with special needs kids or small kids in general to sit beside for the parades and such... my friends spot me and all come over to say a special Hi... and the the kids get the real attention, which is how it should be!!! I also love renting the water mice from the Grand Floridian and zipping around Seven Seas Lagoon... and I love going to the campfires at Fort Wilderness (you don't have to stay there to get in). There is no age limit, Chip and Dale make special appearances, they show Disney cartoons on a big screen stretched out between the trees, and you can make s'mores and roast hot dogs over the open fire.... it's so much fun and VERY magical!!! And of course, I spend as much time in the parks as possible!!!!
I don't really have a favorite park, but I do have a LEAST FAVORITE park... and that's Animal Kingdom... it's HOT there!!! Hotter than any other of the parks because of the vegetation and amount of water and the layout as well.... It was designed that way on purpose... it's best for the animals that live there.... plus... I get bored easy and there isn't as much going on to entertain me there.... Now, I do still like the park and go visit there often.... they have great food, AMAZING shows and I enjoy the attractions there too... it's just my least favorite of all of them... (that doesn't mean that I don't like Animal Kingdom, so please, no one hate on me 
) I do find it amazing how Disney environmentalist and animal protection cast members trained all of the animals to respond to different sounds... Did you know that when you are walking through the park, and you hear drums, or flutes and other native instruments playing, that it's not just for background noise..... each animal group is trained to respond to feeding time, bed time, or "time out" with different sounds. For example, when it's time for the elephants to report to their housing (not the exhibit but the actual overnight safe house) Bongo drums will play over the parks speakers.... to guest, it sounds like awesome background music for the park... but the elephants hear it and know its time to go... they use it for a lot of purposes... it gets them to the medical checkups, or if there is bad weather or other danger.... I think it's pretty amazing.....
