Greetings, and welcome to
planDisney, Dennis!
Thank you kindly for consulting planDisney with this excellent question, Dennis, and how impressive it is that you hold such an important position at my favorite destination in New York City, the delightful Rockefeller Center, I just love it there - thank you for your part in making this popular place so very enjoyable!
In my many visits to various Disney Destinations, visiting the theme parks has evolved from focusing on attractions and other experiences to paying particular attention to the
Disney Imagineering details and related operations with a particular curiosity about how things are managed. And, while Mickey Mouse knows about all the inner workings, many of those aspects must remain in the hands of our dear Pal and his dedicated team of Cast Members to allow the show to go on.
Dennis, I have had the opportunity to participate in two fantastic tours which provided a thorough view of many of the 'behind-the-scenes' operations. One such tour was the
Backstage Magic, a seven-hour tour with
Adventures by Disney, and the delightful
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour, an in-depth five-hour tour of
Magic Kingdom Park, with the highlight being a visit to the famed, "Utilidor" tunnels, I can't express enough how amazing this aspect of the tour was for me!
Please peruse the interesting and informative official videos by the
Facilities and Operations Services - Disney Parks and Resorts for in-depth views of how operations are managed. Kindly refer to the official
Disney - Leadership, History, Corporate Social Responsibility by The Walt Disney Company for insight about this magnificent, longstanding company.
Tips:Please ensure you secure your
Disney Park Pass - Theme Park Reservation using valid theme park admission in advance of your arrival as this is currently the process of visiting the theme parks.
Download the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to manage your plans before and during your visit with the many helpful vacation essential features of the app which will add greater efficiency and convenience to your theme park touring.
Dennis, it was my pleasure assisting you today, your question brought forth many happy memories of my past tours at Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney Wishes!
