Hi Rachel,
The
Keys to the Kingdom tour is a must-do for serious Walt Disney World fans. You'll get lots of great information about the development of Magic Kingdom, lots of trivia about the park and a terrific look behind the scenes, including a visit to the Utilidors, the system of tunnels beneath the park.
Because the tour lasts five hours and includes lunch, it starts early in the day, usually with groups beginning at 8, 8:30, 9 and 9:30 a.m. Reservations are necessary because the size of each group is limited.
Annual passholders are eligible for a discount for this tour as well as a number of others.
You'll find the list here. I've done several tours and also can recommend the
World Showcase: DestiNations Discovered tour at Epcot, also a five-hour behind the scenes tour;
The Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom, which takes you onto the savanna for an up-close look; and the
Wilderness Back Trail Adventure at Fort Wilderness, a Segway tour that takes you to scenic, out-of-the-way spots at the resort.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question, Rachel. Please let us know if you have any more questions about planning your next visit. We're happy to help. Enjoy!
Wilma
