If you've always wondered what goes on behind the scenes in the Magic Kingdom then you'll definitely want to take Disney's Keys To The Kingdom Tour. A family member who just returned from her Disney trip took the tour and raved about it.
The tour lasts about 4 1/2 to 5 hours and the cost is $60 per person but that also includes lunch. Most of Disney's behind-the-scenes tours offer discounts to AAA members. Guests must be at least 16 years old to participate in the Keys to the Kingdom Tour.
I don't want to give too much away but you will definitely learn about the park's history and it's operation.
Did you ever notice how cast members get to the land they work in without traveling through the other lands? You don't see them walking through the front gates of the Magic Kingdom.
The Magic Kingdom is actually built 14 feet above ground level to accommodate what Disney calls utilidors - the underground level that allows cast members, food and trash to be taken to and from the park without guests ever noticing.
The one thing you'll have to leave behind on these tours is your camera and video camera. For obvious reasons Disney doesn't want all kinds of photos and video of their behind-the-scenes areas.
