Tour Tuesday: Keys to the Kingdom

Welcome back to Tour Tuesday, where each week I'll highlight a tour offered at Walt Disney World that allows you a closer look at the inner working of various attractions around the parks. Many folks don't know these tours even exist, so I'm hoping to shed some light on these magical offerings.

Now, on to this week's tour! We started with the "mac-daddy" tour of all four parks in one day last week with Backstage Magic. This week's tour focuses more on Walt Disney World's original park, Magic Kingdom.

Keys to the Kingdom

Offered daily at 8:30am, 9:00am, and 9:30am, this 5-hour walking tour is a great way to learn the captivating history of the beloved Magic Kingdom from conception to outstanding growth. See and hear it all, from backstage access (including the famed "Utilidors"), to trivia and tidbits, and even some hidden secrets throughout the park!

The focus of Walt Disney's vision for this park is an amazing tale to hear. See how his creativity and innovative thinking came to life and built this magical place.

Like the Backstage Magic tour, the Keys to the Kingdom includes lunch and a special souvenir to take home.

This is a wonderful tour for all Disney enthusiasts, and it's very reasonably priced at only $79 per person, plus tax.
