Take the Ultimate Virtual Tour of Magic Kingdom

As much as we may like to, we can’t always be at Walt Disney World.  So I’ve put together the next best thing!  Join me for a virtual tour of Magic Kingdom, including the attractions and shows that make this park truly magical.

Magic Kingdom was the first park to open at Walt Disney World Resort, debuting to the public in 1971.  It is the most iconic of all the Disney Parks, and it celebrates the best of imagination and the human spirit.  It offers six themed lands:

Main Street, U.S.A.

Tomorrowland, fantasyland, liberty square, adventureland, frontierland.

Virtual tours are a great way to explore the parks from home.  Set the scene with some Mouse Ears, a few Mickey-shaped treats, and Disney-inspired outfits.  Keep a notebook handy to write down ideas for things you see that you’d love to include in your next visit to Magic Kingdom.

Share All sharing options for: A virtual visit to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World

Walt Disney World’s doors are closed until July, but if you’re feeling a little squicky about venturing to the Magic Kingdom so soon, there’s good news: If a Disney attraction exists (or existed in the time of YouTube), then chances are a high-definition video ride-through, walk-through, or POV of the attraction exists, ready to be experienced from home.

Disney parks have a lax policy when it comes to bringing cameras on rides to film the experience. As long as filming doesn’t pose a safety hazard (which it would on Hollywood Studios’ Rock ‘N Roller coaster, which goes upside down) or involve using flash on dark rides like Haunted Mansion, cast members permit visitors to use recording devices on most rides. While Disney specifically prohibits selfie sticks at the parks, GoPros, iPhones, and DSLR cameras are all allowed. (Which explains how one mad genius covertly directed an entire black-and-white thriller inside the parks.)

Ride-through and walk-through videos are a big part of theme park culture, showcasing many attractions and interactive areas of the park. The videos are so common that we were able to build an entire virtual ride through and walkthrough of the iconic landmarks at California’s Disneyland . The next logical step was Florida’s Disney World.

Like Walt himself, we never stop dreaming and building. So behold, a virtual exploration of the Magic Kingdom — the bigger, evolved version of Disneyland — broken down by land order. Yes, there is an order in which to “do” Magic Kingdom. Sorry, Dole Whip is not included (but here’s the official Dole DIY recipe if you’d like to complete the Walt Disney World experience).

Main Street U.S.A

Main street.

In Magic Kingdom, the Main Street area — designed to evoke Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri — is less about the attractions and more about the feel. It’s a quintessential part of the Magic Kingdom experience.

Disney Railroad

The railroad technically goes around the whole park, but it starts in Main Street so it goes here. Walt loved trains!

Adventureland

Jungle cruise.

The Emily Blunt Dwayne Johnson movie version of the iconic ride got pushed to 2021, but you can experience the full Disney World ride — bad jokes and puns included — through the magic of YouTube. The Florida version of this ride features carefully chosen plants designed to thrive in central Florida’s humid summers and surprisingly cool winters.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

The Aladdin-themed ride is basically the Dumbo elephant fixture of Fantasyland, but with magic carpets instead. In Magic Kingdom, this space is used for Aladdin character meet-and-greets.

Pirates of the Caribbean

The facade of this version of Pirates of the Caribbean is inspired by Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in the Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. The ride existed before the movie series was even a thing, though recent refurbishments have added some uncanny Jack Sparrow animatronics and rethinking of a scene where women were being auctioned off.

Swiss Family Treehouse

It’s not a ride, but it is a dope treehouse. Take a breather in the middle of your Disney day to explore some trees.

Enchanted Tiki Room

Talking birds, catchy songs — what more could you want? One of the immersive show experiences at Walt Disney World, the Enchanted Tiki room is full of parrots serenading guests.

Frontierland

Big thunder mountain.

The runaway railroad ride is a staple of Frontierland across Disney parks worldwide. With sharp twists and turns, it’s one of the more thrilling rides at Disney Word. The Florida version is slightly bigger than the California one.

Country Bear Jamboree

Do you remember the Country Bears movie? Well, it exists, and so does this video of the Disney World show.

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

Check out some rootin’, tootin’, shootin’ action.

Splash Mountain

The benefits to enjoying Splash Mountain in the comfort of your home: no risk of ruining your custom-made Disney vacation T-shirt with Splash Mountain water! Because, of course you’ll be wearing your Disney vacation T-shirt whilst embarking on this virtual adventure.

Tom Sawyer Island

Like its Disneyland equivalent, the island is Tom Sawyer-themed. The kids still love Tom Sawyer, right?

Liberty Square

The hall of presidents.

Come for the American history lessons, stay for the life-like wax figurines. Here’s the pre-2016 version , by the way, for no particular reason.

Haunted Mansion

Happy haunts await you! Each Haunted Mansion across Disney parks is themed to the area. In this case, the mansion evokes the Gothic Revival architecture of the mid-1700s, perfectly fitting in with the Revolutionary War-themed Liberty Square.

Liberty Square Riverboat

It wouldn’t be a Disney park without a riverboat. Unlike the Disneyland version, the Magic Kingdom isn’t tied to American author Mark Twain, but instead a more generic riverboat experience.

Fantasyland

The barnstormer.

A mild roller coaster tailored for kids, the Barnstormer got a revamp in 2011 after the Toontown area of Magic Kingdom closed down and turned into an expanded area of Fantasyland. Instead of being themed to take place at Goofy’s farm, it now fits more in line with the circus theme of the area (full name: The Great Goofini’s Barnstormer).

Casey Jr. Splash N’ Soak Station

Brush off your portable misting fan in order to fully recreate this experience.

Cinderella’s Castle

Cinderella’s Castle is over 100 feet taller than the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Anaheim. The castle is an iconic symbol of not just the Magic Kingdom, but Disney parks worldwide. Walking through the Cinderella Castle leads you right to Fantasyland.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

One of the hallmarks of every Disney World vacation commercial, the Dumbo ride takes (virtual) visitors to the skies.

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Added to the 2011 expansion of Fantasyland, this interactive experience is part show, part house tour. Walk through Belle’s cottage and recreate the events of the movie with Belle and her friends. The line is always long, but the attraction is really cute, and now you can skip the line and view it via video! Unfortunately, this means no audience participation, but we must all make sacrifices.

It’s A Small World

Will this song get stuck in your head after watching this video? Probably! But it’s a wholesome song, so really, it could be a lot worse.

Mad Tea Party

Take a spin on the teacups! The Mad Tea Party and the Dumbo ride are the quintessential Fantasyland attractions, and they both involve spinning. What does it mean?

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

While the ride itself has remained relatively unchanged since its opening in 1999 (where it replaced Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride), the waiting area got retooled during the 2011 expansion to have a play area for restless little children.

Mickey’s PhilharMagic

The 4D show explores some iconic moments in Disney music, with Donald Duck commandeering a magical orchestra.

Peter Pan’s Flight

To this day, Peter Pan’s Flight is one of the most popular attractions in the Magic Kingdom, a testament to the power of good Imagineering, the legacy of J.M. Barrie’s timeless tale, and the fact that edgy tweens entering their Hot Topic phase are really into it.

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

Every Fantasyland has a carousel. This one just happens to be themed to Prince Charming and Cinderella. There is an unverified rumor that one of the horses, specifically one with a golden bow, is “Cinderella’s horse.” The ride was originally called Cinderella’s Carousel, but was re-themed to the less exciting Charming and given a backstory , because why not.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

One of the new attractions to open up in the Fantasyland refurbishment (and also the one ride in Fantasyland I have yet to ride on because the line is always three-hours long), the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train debuted in the second phase of 2014. It’s a fast-paced ride, similar to both Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain in how its path winds both inside and outside. The ride reuses some animatronics from the now-defunct Snow White’s Scary Adventure.

Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid

A dark ride that takes guests through Ariel’s adventure, Under the Sea opened up in 2012 following a similar ride’s debut in California Adventure. While the California one’s exterior is stylized like an aquarium (which is, uh, kinda weird but okay), the Magic Kingdom version fits in with the rest of Fantasyland and is stylized like Eric’s castle.

Tomorrowland

Astro orbiter.

If the Magic Carpets of Aladdin is Adventureland’s version of the Dumbo ride, then the Astro Orbiter is Tomorrowland’s. Soar high above the retro-futuristic land in a wee little rocket.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Unfortunately, a YouTube ride through can’t capture the sheer satisfaction of blasting moving targets, but the video does capture the neon arcade-style decor pretty well. Called “Astro Blasters” in Disneyland, this version of the attraction features less dialogue than its California counterpart.

Carousel of Progress

Naysayers may say that the Carousel of Progress is a boring 20-minute show, but they’re really missing out on a few big things. One, Daddy Progress , the fan name for the father figure in the show. Two, a nice, quiet dark space to sit amidst the Florida heat and rest your Disney trekking feet for 25 minutes. And three, a delightful experience taking guests through four distinct eras of technological progress, full of iconic lines (“Whew, boy, hottest Fourth of July we’ve had in years!”) and an incredibly catchy song. We stan the Carousel of Progress in this house.

Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor

More of a show than a ride, the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is a unique experience each time you visit, since Mike and the other monsters call out different audience members.

Space Mountain

Space Mountain, a roller coaster which hurdles guests almost entirely in the dark, doesn’t seem like it’d make for a fun ride-through video (since it, you know, takes place in the darkness of space), but you can’t have the full Tomorrowland experience without a ride on Space Mountain.

Stitch’s Great Escape!

Ever wonder how Stitch escaped after being taken into custody in the beginning of the movie? Be part of his adventure! Unfortunately, the video doesn’t capture the 4D effects, but given that one of the effects was a gross belch smell, maybe some attractions are better in video form.

Tomorrowland Speedway

Race some cars at Magic Kingdom’s race track. Lots of other Disney parks have a similar attraction under different names, but it’s all about going fast.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover

It’s just a track, one might say. But do not underestimate the sure love Disney fans have for the People Mover, which takes guests behind-the-scenes in certain Tomorrowland attractions. One of the staples of the park, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has been through a few name changes — the most recent one being the readdition of “PeopleMover” to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority in 2010.

Complete Guide to Magic Kingdom at Disney World

Magic Kingdom is probably the park most people think of when they hear the phrase “I’m going to Disney World.” It’s the park where you can dine inside of Cinderella Castle, take a ride on Dumbo, and rocket through the universe on Space Mountain.

Expectations for the overall experience are most likely highest here, and it’s the busiest park, so it is important you head into your visit at Magic Kingdom being as prepared as possible.

• Learn more about how transportation works at Magic Kingdom

If you do plan to drive, make sure you understand how parking works, since it is different from all the other parks.

Driving and Parking at Magic Kingdom

Parking at Magic Kingdom is a little bit different from parking at the other 3 main parks.

When driving to Magic Kingdom, guests park about a mile away at the Transportation and Ticket Center. From there, guests have the option of taking either the ferry or monorail over to the front gates of Magic Kingdom. Because of this extra step, you should plan to budget at least 30 extra minutes for your travel time if you plan to drive.

Like the other 3 parks, the parking lots at the Transportation and Ticket Center are staffed with an abundance of Cast Members that will help direct you to your spot. If you park too far away from the front gate to walk, there will be handy trams to shuttle you back and forth from the end of your row to near the front gates.

How much does parking at Magic Kingdom cost?

• Free for Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests
• Offsite guests $30/day
• Passholders – Free with Passholder card and photo ID
• Preferred Parking – $45-55/day

FAQs about Magic Kingdom

What should i bring with me to magic kingdom.

Since Disney allows you to keep your bag with you on nearly every attraction, many people find it handy to carry a bag or backpack with them into the parks.

What you pack in your backpack will vary on your age and who you are traveling with but to help you decide what you might want to bring we have an entire post dedicated to Disney World park bags .

Here are some other common questions on what to bring with you:

Can I bring food with me to Magic Kingdom?

Yes! You can bring your own food items with you. The only restrictions are no glass containers (baby food is an exception) and no alcohol. Also, for the safety of the animals, no straws are allowed at Animal Kingdom.

Can I bring a cooler?

Yes, small coolers are allowed; however, the total size can’t exceed 24″ by 15″ by 18″. We recommend bringing a cooler small enough to fit into a locker or in the bottom of a stroller ( n ote: as of 5/1/19, loose ice and dry ice are not allowed in the parks, so you will need to use an ice pack or something similar if you plan to bring cooled items) .

Are wagons allowed?

Items that can be pulled behind you are not allowed at Disney World, and that includes wagons.

Can I bring my selfie stick?

Sorry, but no. Selfie sticks are banned at all Disney World parks, including Magic Kingdom.

Can I bring my tripod, so I can take pictures?

Tripods (and monopods) that are small enough to fit in a backpack are allowed.

I heard the lines are long. Can I bring a folding chair with me to sit in while I wait?

Folding chairs are not allowed, and we’d never want you standing in a line long enough that you’d need one! Make sure you read the touring plan information below so that you avoid standing in long lines.

Did we leave anything out? Let us know your questions in the comments below.

I waited my 60 days to try to book the special dinning for the 50th Celerbration. I tried early mornings, later in the evening, all day sitting at my desk at work and never was able to book one. Very sad that I couldn't get one. Something just didn't seem right. Not even Space 220.

Tips for a Magical Day at Magic Kingdom

Valerie de Leon/Travel + Leisure

When the Magic Kingdom opened its gates on Oct. 1, 1971, it became an iconic place to not only see favorite Disney characters but to experience innovative attractions and visit lands carefully crafted to transport guests to another time or place. No trip to Walt Disney World would be complete without a visit to the Magic Kingdom. The most popular park at the Florida resort is also the most-visited theme park in the entire world, with more than 17 million visitors in 2022, according to the Global Attractions Attendance Report .

With this popularity comes crowds, so knowing how to best navigate the park is vital to ensure a great experience. “Walt Disney World is complicated in a way that's different from almost any other vacation destination. There are far more people who want to ride Disney's best rides and eat at Disney's best restaurants than there is ride and restaurant capacity for them. You'll need to make reservations for the popular rides and restaurants or risk not getting to them,” says Len Testa, co-author of " The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World ."

Ready to plan your trip? Here's everything you need to know to plan a perfect day at Magic Kingdom.

Meet the Expert

Len Testa is the co-author of "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World." 

Samantha Davis-Friedman is a theme park journalist and contributing writer of “Walt Disney World Hacks, Second Edition.”

Matt Stroshane/Walt Disney World

“The two things to consider when visiting Walt Disney World are crowds and weather,” says Testa. “Walt Disney World's crowds are typically lowest when public schools are in session. The best weather is generally between November and March, with daytime highs between 75 and 80 degrees.” 

Tickets can be purchased as either single or multi-day passes, and you can add the Park Hopper option to visit multiple parks a day. Single-day ticket prices are dynamic and vary depending on the day and park you’re looking to visit, ranging between $134 to $189 for 2024. While park hours vary throughout the year, currently Magic Kingdom is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 

Guests staying at Disney hotels (and select other hotels) can take advantage of Early Entry to enter the park 30 minutes before it officially opens. Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or other select hotels can enjoy Extended Evening Hours after the park closes on select nights.

Getting to Magic Kingdom 

Valerie de Leon/Travel + Leisure

Guests cannot park outside of the gates of the Magic Kingdom and must park across the Seven Seas Lagoon at The Transportation and Ticket Center, otherwise known as the TTC. From there, guests can take a ferry or monorail to arrive at the park gates. “My motto is 'take the one that’s there' – sometimes that’s the monorail and sometimes it's the ferry. Either way, it’s nice to start the day without a wait (if possible) since there will certainly be plenty of waiting to come," says Samantha Davis-Friedman, theme park journalist and contributing writer of “Walt Disney World Hacks, Second Edition” .

Only Walt Disney World Resort buses and "Minnie Vans" (Lyft’s exclusive Walt Disney World car service offering select perks), can drop visitors off directly outside of the park. Third-party shuttles typically drop riders at the TTC. 

Standard parking is $30 per day, preferred parking varies seasonally between $45 and $55 per day, and oversized vehicle parking is $35 per day. If you’re park-hopping, good news: Guests only need to pay one fee for a parking pass that is good all day at all four theme parks. 

Guests staying at select Magic Kingdom area resorts can also take the monorail or a boat from their hotel.

Best Rides and Attractions 

Younger guests shouldn’t miss out on the rides in Fantasyland, like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan’s Flight. Thrill-seeking visitors should make a point to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, and Tron Lightcycle Run . For fans of classic Disney, no trip is complete without a stop at The Enchanted Tiki Room, a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and a spin through Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, which originally debuted at the 1964 New York World's Fair. Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion are perennial favorites among guests of all ages. And Tiana's Bayou Adventure is bound to be an instant hit when it opens this summer.

The best way to optimize time within the parks is to utilize Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes , an update on the previously complimentary FastPass system. These benefits come at an additional cost, but time in the parks is valuable and sometimes, it’s best to spend extra money to avoid lost time in line. The cost varies by park and date, generally ranging between $16 to $35 per day. 

Testa recommends purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes (ILL) for sought-after attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

Entertainment 

Let the Magic Begin and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire are stage shows that run several times throughout the day and feature Mickey and his pals, Tiana and friends from "The Princess and the Frog," and more. 

The Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade is an abbreviated parade that runs through the park and features characters from "Encanto," "Coco," and more. The Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade features incredible floats, a long list of characters, and a great soundtrack. 

Happily Ever After is the park's current nighttime spectacular featuring projections, lasers, special effects, and of course, fireworks. While finding a spot in front of the castle is key if you want to catch the projections, the show is still extremely enjoyable when viewed from other, often less crowded, spots. My favorites are Tomorrowland and Fantasyland (and it's a bonus if you are onboard the PeopleMover or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train while fireworks are exploding in the sky above you).

Walt Disney World

Visitors looking to maximize their time in the parks should opt to order from quick-serve locations, preferably with mobile orders. Sleepy Hollow is a great stop for breakfast, offering an extremely popular fresh fruit waffle sandwich. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a reliable stop for burgers and chicken strips. It’s also home to Sonny Eclipse, a beloved animatronic performing lounge tunes all about his home planet Zork in the dining room. Casey’s Corner offers hot dogs, corn dog nuggets, and french fries. If you’re looking for non-fried choices, Columbia Harbor House serves New England-inspired seafood dishes.

Guests who want to get up close with their favorite friends can make a reservation for a character meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table to dine with princesses or The Crystal Palace for a meal with Pooh and friends. Other standout table-service restaurants are Be Our Guest, Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, and Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, thanks to a recent menu overhaul that makes it a fantastic place to enjoy a glass of wine on the patio, especially while a parade passes by.

Snack fiends, be prepared: there are a lot of can’t-miss Disney World foods , including pineapple upside-down cake topped with Dole Whip from Aloha Isle, cheeseburger spring rolls at The Spring Roll Cart, and the pepper jack pretzel from Cheshire Cafe.

Magic Kingdom Itinerary 

Be ready to book your first Genie+ selection and join the virtual queue for Tron Lightycle Run at 7 a.m. If you miss the 7 a.m. window, there is another chance to join the Tron virtual queue at 1 p.m. from inside the park. If you’re staying on property, be ready to enter the park when Early Entry begins. Otherwise, be prepared to rope drop as soon as the park opens. Head to the most popular rides first to take advantage of the shortest lines you’ll likely see all day. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, Jungle Cruise, and Space Mountain develop some of the highest wait times as the day goes on. From there, tackle the park by land, and don’t forget to take your time and enjoy. Continue to utilize Genie+ to book return times for attractions — or if you’ve opted to pass on the additional purchase, keep an eye on wait times in the app to head to the shortest lines. Try to spot a parade along the way, and end your day with Happily Ever After.

• “Be at the park, admission in hand, 60 minutes before the official opening. On most days, Disney will let you into the park and allow you to line up for your first ride well before the park opens. This is a tremendous advantage over those who can't get up and out the door that early. You'll be well on your way to your second (or third) ride before most people have gone through the turnstiles,” says Testa.
• Be prepared for the weather. “No matter what time of year you go to Magic Kingdom, it will likely rain — and it’s always A LOT of rain. Because I have been caught unprepared for rain at Walt Disney World (more than once), I now carry a pair of inexpensive, lightweight flip-flops in my backpack. That way, I can quickly swap out my sneakers and socks to keep them dry (this works well on water rides too!),” says Davis-Friedman.
• If you plan on spending a lot of time at Magic Kingdom, consider splurging to stay at a neighboring hotel. Guests can walk directly to the park from Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This convenience will save you a lot of time and hassle if you plan on staying until the park closes.
• For those looking to avoid the post-fireworks crowds, consider watching them from the neighboring resorts. Diners at The California Grill located on the top floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort have access to a viewing deck that pipes in the show’s sound, as does the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. 
• Some of the best parts of a day in Magic Kingdom aren’t just the moments of soaring through Big Thunder Mountain or passing by hitchhiking ghosts inside The Haunted Mansion; they’re the magical moments in between, like having a spontaneous dance party with The Country Bears or spotting the names of several key Imagineers on the windows along Main Street U.S.A.

Keys to the Kingdom Tour: The Ultimate Guide

Table of Contents

Keys to the Kingdom Overview

Walt Disney World is one of the most enchanting places on earth. The young and young at heart love screaming through rides at Magic Kingdom Park, traveling the world through the Epcot World Showcase, getting spooked at the Haunted Mansion, and much more.

However, the magic of Walt Disney World does not create itself. An entire hidden domain is dedicated to creating an amazing experience for the millions of people who visit the park every year. The Keys to the Kingdom Tour gives guests a peek behind the curtain into this fascinating world. 

This amazing tour shows the life of cast members – how they start their day, take breaks, and move from place to place within the park.

Tour guides also share little-known facts, trivia, and objects as they take guests through Disney World. This gives people a peek into this world-famous park that they would otherwise never enjoy. 

Most of all, tour guides unlock some of the secrets to Disney World’s magic. This involves going backstage in secret locations and learning everything that makes the most beloved spots in Disney World a reality. Prepare to be amazed as you embark on this amazing experience!

How to Book The Keys to the Kingdom Tour

You book the Keys to the Kingdom tour through a dedicated hotline listed on Walt Disney World’s webpage for the tour. This link will take you to that page, as well as other pertinent information. 

How far in advance can you book the Keys to the Kingdom tour?

You can book the Keys to the Kingdom tour up to 180 days in advance of your anticipated tour date. It is also possible to simply walk up and buy tickets if they are still available. However, most travel-savvy individuals would likely advise you against waiting so close to time! 

How to Save Money on the Tour

Check for deals.

Walt Disney World offers deals on many tours and experiences throughout the year. Keep informed regarding these offers – you might save a lot of money on your Keys to the Kingdom experience! 

Buy a base ticket.

Walt Disney World offers two different types of tickets – base tickets and Park Hopper tickets. Base tickets grant admission to only one park per day, while Park Hopper tickets allow you to visit as many of the parks in the Disney World resort as possible in one day.

A base ticket is not only more inexpensive but more practical, as one can really take in only one park per day.

Stay off-site.

Unless you live in the Orlando, Florida, area, you will need to book a room in order to enjoy your Keys to the Kingdom experience.

There is a plethora of budget-friendly options that do not involve staying at a Disney World hotel. Hotels in a variety of price points ring the resort, not to mention private rentals on websites such as Airbnb and VRBO. Look at all your options – a great deal might just be out there!

Buy items ahead of time.

You know you will want to sport Mickey ears during the tour. Why not buy them ahead of time? Amazon provides great deals on Mickey’s ears, as well as T-shirts and other Disney-themed merchandise. Taking this step will leave you with more money to enjoy your excursion.  

Pack snacks and drinks.

Walking for hours in the hot Florida sun would make anyone hungry and thirsty. You will not regret packing your own water bottle and snacks to bring along with you on the Keys to the Kingdom tour.

Unlike many theme parks, Disney allows visitors to bring their own food and drink. But do save room in your stomach – this tour offers lunch as part of the package. More on that later…

Should You Do It?

As amazing as the Keys to the Kingdom Tour is, it would not be suitable for everyone. There are people who would not enjoy this experience or could join it due to restrictions. Here are a few things to keep in mind before buying tickets and heading to Florida.

• Age.   Disney World does not allow visitors under the age of 16 on the tour. This makes plenty of sense – no one would want to ruin Disney for its youngest guests. 
• Devotion to Disney magic . Do you adore the magic of Disney? Do you find the thought of that magic being dimmed to be distressing? Then this tour is probably not for you. The Keys to the Kingdom tour, though fun and fascinating, brings the Disney experience down to earth in a way you would likely not enjoy. 

On the other hand, you should strongly consider going on the Keys to the Kingdom Tour if you are:

• A big Disney fan . Obviously! 
• Someone who enjoys learning secrets. The stated purpose of this tour is to let guests in on some “insider” information about the park.  Brace yourself for a mind-blowing experience!  
• Someone who loves a good time. Without a doubt, there is lots of fun to be enjoyed on this tour! 

There are so many captivating aspects of the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Let’s dig into the details of this amazing experience!

What do you do on the Keys to the Kingdom tour?

On the Keys to the Kingdom tour, you will enjoy learning and experiencing: 

Walt Disney

Millions of people revel in the magic that this man created; however, few take the time to get to know him. The Keys to the Kingdom tour changes this reality by giving guests an in-depth look at the life of Walt Disney. Tour guides unveil the genius he applied to Disney World and take visitors through his thought process in designing and building the park.

Fun facts and trivia

There are so many interesting stories and details about Disney World that one easily misses unless someone points it out to them. This tour provides guests with a wealth of information. The hidden Mickeys throughout the park are just one example of the fascinating features that are revealed on the tour. 

Secrets of the Magic Kingdom

Have you ever explored the Magic Kingdom and wondered, “I wonder what happens behind the curtain at such and such a location”? Then you are in for a treat. The Keys to the Kingdom tour goes behind the scenes of iconic locations in one of the most beloved resorts in Disney World and unveils the secrets of these spots to you. Examples of possible tour stops include the Haunted Mansion and the Jungle Cruise.

The underworld of the Utilidors

Last but certainly not least, we come to a world-famous non-secret of Disney World: the utilidors. The Disney World resort is actually housed on the second floor of the complex. The first is a labyrinth of corridors that contains a separate world away from guests’ view.

Walt Disney supposedly came up with the utilidors when he saw a cast member in a Frontierland costume in Tomorrowland and wanted to keep such out-of-place moments from detracting from the magic of Disney.

These corridors help cast members to move between locations, house storage and food preparation facilities, and serve as the headquarters of Engineering Central, the control board of the park’s parades, lights, music, and more.

The utilidors also feature the ingenious AVAC (Automated Vacuum-Assisted Collection) garbage disposal system, which relies on pneumatic tubes to get rid of the tons of trash generated by park visitors every year. 

If you would like to learn more about the utilidors, follow the link to this article full of fascinating details about these corridors. 

Are there any rides on the Keys to the Kingdom tour?

You will likely experience several rides during the Keys to the Kingdom tour. However, it is important to remember that Disney reserves the right to change specific stops on the tour at any time. Furthermore, the focus of this tour is not as much the rides as the behind-the-scenes details about Disney that it offers. So buckle up and enjoy everything you will experience on this tour! 

Tips for the Keys to the Kingdom Tour

Guest requirements

As mentioned previously, guests on the Keys to the Kingdom tour must be over 16 years of age. They must also have a valid photo I.D. to be admitted. So, tour day would not be the time to forget your wallet at the hotel! 

The cost of the tour is $129-$149 per person. This amount, however, is for the tour only – you must also pay the price for general admission to go on the tour. Keep this in mind as you budget for this amazing experience! 

The Keys to the Kingdom tour is mostly outdoors and completely on foot. Thus, wearing sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes is especially important. You should also make sure to stay hydrated. Keep an eye on the weather forecast as well, and bring an umbrella or raincoat just in case the heavens open while you are on the tour. 

Photography/videography policy

Planning on documenting the entire Keys to the Kingdom tour for your vlog? Think again. Disney World has a strict policy forbidding any use of cameras, video cameras, and even cell phones during the tour. Though this is not convenient, it does make sense. Disney does not want all the secrets to be spilled and ruin future tours or the Disney experience for other visitors. 

One of the great benefits of this tour is the fact that lunch is included! Thus, you can enjoy everything you are learning and experiencing without worrying about how you will fix the rumble in your stomach later!

Souvenir 

Another neat perk of the Keys to the Kingdom tour is the one-of-a-kind souvenir tour guides give you. Previous tour guests received a key pin with mouse ears engraved with the words “Disney’s Keys to the Kingdom” on it.

Of course, it is important to remember that the souvenir you receive could look different. Nonetheless, whatever you receive will be special and unique to the tour! 

If you adore Walt Disney World, love learning interesting facts and little-known trivia, and want your eyes opened to what makes this world-famous park tick, then you will want to buy tickets to the Keys to the Kingdom tour. You will not be disappointed!
