Hi Rachael!
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
For me,
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour stands out as the highlight of our Walt Disney World vacation last year.
As a self-professed Disney Geek who loves all things Disney history, I'd say it was 5 hours of pure
Magic Kingdom bliss. Our Cast Member Tour Guide, Nick (hi there, Nick!!), delivered fun, knowledgeable, and expert insights as he walked us through Magic Kingdom, its lands, and some supporting operations locations.
I'll keep my comments spoiler-free here, though I will share that our tour took us on two attractions — Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise (where Nick himself even skippered our journey.)
While getting to experience those attractions from a unique perspective was a real plus, the tour — as I see it — is less about riding attractions and more about taking in all the backstories and behind-the-scenes peeks. For as many times as I played all day in Magic Kingdom over all the years, I left Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour with an even greater appreciation for all the imagination, creativity, talent, and passion that goes into making the magic happen everyday both onstage and offstage. If you're someone who wants to take their Magic Kingdom experience to the next level, I really recommend this tour.
I'm looking forward to joining more of the
special tours offered at Walt Disney World on upcoming trips.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
