Hello Bonnie. Welcome to planDisney.
It looks like Christmas trees, pixie-dusted decorations, and yuletide happiness are scheduled for your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World. There truly is nothing like visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth during The Most Magical Time of the Year!
Let's get right to your question. The Backstage Magic Tour was an offering I never had the chance to enjoy. It sounds like it was so much fun! Unfortunately, this tour is currently unavailable, and there is no announcement on if or when it could return. However, no worries, because Walt Disney World offers some amazing tours that I highly recommend.
The
Behind the Seeds Tour at EPCOT is a peaceful backstage walking tour of The Land Pavilion, offering a unique glimpse into the fish farms and greenhouses. The
Wild Africa Trek is an adventure-filled three-hour tour that offers one-of-a-kind views of the animals in the Harambe Reserve, complete with delicious snacks at Animal Kingdom!
If you're looking for a tour that truly offers a peek behind the magical curtain, I can't recommend the
Keys to the Kingdom Tour enough. As a true Disney fan, this tour was a dream come true. My guide for this 5-hour walking tour shared little-known trivia, showed us backstage areas of Magic Kingdom, and told heartfelt stories about Walt and Roy that brought a tear to my Disney-loving eye. We even got to experience the famous "Utilidor" tunnels! Lunch was provided, and we all received a special keepsake to take home. While the Backstage Magic Tour may not be available, the Keys to the Kingdom Tour is a must for any Disney fan!
Be sure to look over the
Enchanting Extras Collection for all the special offerings. These experiences are popular, so be sure to make your reservations 60 days before your arrival.
Bonnie, I'm wishing you a happy holiday vacation. Be sure to visit EPCOT and enjoy the
International Festival of the Holidays. This "tour" of holiday traditions from around the world is included with your theme park ticket to EPCOT. There is nothing like visiting the Holiday Kitchens and going on a global culinary holiday adventure!
Please stop by and visit us anytime. You are always welcome at planDisney!
Happy planning,
Shonette
