Looking for help with the Toilet and shower drain.

Symptoms...both toilets in the house drain very
slowly. The shower backed up this morning when I
used it, although it is now empty. It was fine
yesterday. Bathroom and Kitchen sinks seem to drain 
ok, when pipes are on full blast so the flow out is 
faster than what the pipes can provide at full blast.  
The guest shower backs up and caused water to come
up in the previously empty Master shower. 

I rented a snake but it wasn't designed for the toilet. 
It's been spinning in the Master shower drain for a few 
minutes and has not coughed up anything. I thing there
is about 3 feet left on the reel. Most of the snake is
down the drain. Next plan is start pulling the toilets 
apart so that I can use the snake directly in the 
toilet drain.

Anything that I missed? Any other suggestions, or 
should I call a plumber?
