Those chatterboxes are probably people waiting for their fast pass to come up for Soarin'. HA!
One of my friends did the Behind the Seeds tour once. She said it's basically the same information from the boat except you can ask questions. I guess it would be worth it if you were curious about anything you see during the ride. :yes:

We are quite interested in hydroponic growing, so I'd have loads of questions. The one thing we've discovered (from buying hydroponically grown produce) is that the items seem to have a bit less flavor than those grown conventionally.
At any rate, it's certainly one of the least expensive tours.

I would guess that hydroponic plants would have less flavor because they're more "watery". I think when things are grown in the ground they pick up more "flavor" from the nutrients and minerals in the soil.

Also, if you have a Disney Rewards Visa you get 10% or 20% off of tours (can't remember which). I've been thinking about doing the Epcot Segway tour. It would be ~$10 off with my card. It might be worth it!

Now that was a fun tour. :yes: We did it for Herself's birthday a couple of years back. I think there may be an AP discount attached to it too? I know I had some sort of discount (maybe DVC? :unsure:).
It's great fun though. We now want to do the Fort Wilderness one.
Yes, I think you must be right. The water, instead of the terrior (not to sound too winey... :lol: ) is the difference in taste in those items grown hydroponically. I still would like to learn more though. :yes:
