Description of the Tour: Keys to the Kingdom is a history and heritage Private tour filled with information about how the Magic Kingdom Park was designed, who some of the key players were, and details about many of the areas required to operate the park daily. This is a walking tour to go behind-the-scenes in Magic Kingdom. Each group of twenty or fewer tour members will have one tour guide. The tour will visit stages, studios, and the underground service tunnels (Utilidor). Topics of discussion will be the history of Magic Kingdom, the mystery of the underground service tunnels, and the story of Walt Disney’s vision for the park. Once the tour has concluded, the tour guide will escort the group to outside the Magic Kingdom front gate. PLEASE NOTE: Tour Participation DOES NOT include access to the amusement park itself. If you plan to visit the park after the tour, you will need to purchase tickets on your own. This can be done via the Shades of Green website or with Disney directly.
