    I note that the Keys to the Kingdom Tour calendar has not updated past Nov 24. Are tours suspended after that date? I have an upcoming trip to WDW booked for Dec 2-11 and was hoping to make this tour part of my "bucket list" 74th birthday visit.

    Hello, Jeffrey, and welcome to planDisney! I’m coming to you from right here in the Commonwealth as not only a fellow Disney Guest but a fellow Virginian, too!

    I can’t think of a better place to celebrate a birthday than the Most Magical Place on Earth. Allow me to be the first to wish you a Happy 74th Birthday! The Keys to the Kingdom Tour would be a fabulous way to celebrate your birthday. I took this tour earlier this year with my adult son, and we absolutely loved learning some of the hidden backstage secrets of Magic Kingdom. We especially loved seeing the famous Utilidor tunnels that you can’t see any other way, unless you become a Cast Member yourself!

    One reason you weren't seeing availability after November 24 may be because they sometimes suspend tours during the busiest weeks of the year. As you probably know, November 24 is the week of Thanksgiving. I actually ran into this same challenge when booking the tour with my son because we went during New Year’s week.

    I have GREAT news for you though, Jeffrey! Tours for the week after Thanksgiving are now available! As I am looking at tour dates today, there are tours open beginning November 29. Get ready to act quickly because your 60-day booking window before your vacation opens this week! This tour is very popular, so once the 60-day window arrives, tours often fill quickly.

    Since you’re celebrating a birthday, be sure to stop by Guest Services or ask at the front desk of your Disney resort hotel for a complimentary birthday button! Cast Members love giving Guests magical birthday greetings. For an even more special and personalized button, stop by Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom. For a nominal fee, you can have your button customized and it makes a great souvenir!

    Jeffrey, I’m sending you lots of birthday wishes and hope that you are able to book this tour! If you have any more questions, be sure to come back and see me. I’m always here to help add extra pixie dust to your Disney vacation planning!

    See you on Main Street,
    Casey
