It is called the Disney's Keys to the Kingdom tour for those who don't like
theme parks but would love to know the history of Disney.
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour highlights the fascinating history of Walt
Disney World Resort and provides backstage access to secret areas of Magic
Kingdom theme park.
Guests must be at least 16 years of age.
This approximately 4.5-hour walking tour explores the stories behind the
remarkable creation and growth of Magic Kingdom theme park. Hear the
intriguing story of Walt Disney and learn how his innovative ideas,
revolutionary visions, creative philosophies and amazing accomplishments
brought the Theme Park to life. The journey includes stops at backstage
facilities and a variety of favorite attractions.
One unforgettable highlight is a trip below Magic Kingdom theme park into
the service tunnels known as the Utilidors. This is one urban legend that is
absolutely, and almost unbelievably, true-the Guest accessible areas of
Magic Kingdom theme park are actually on the second floor of a massive
structure. The first floor-called the Utilidors-allows Cast Members,
deliveries and even trash to be unknowingly transported below Guests' feet
as they wait in line for their favorite attraction
