Being a HUGE Walt Disney World fan, I decided that it was finally time to take the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. Priced around $75 or so, (NOT including park entry fees) it's not cheap. It does include lunch, a bottle of water at the beginning, and a souvinier pin. The entire tour is about 5 hours.

Owner description:
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour highlights the fascinating history of Walt Disney World Resort and provides backstage access to secret areas of Magic Kingdom theme park.Guests must be at least 16 years of age.This approximately 4.5-hour walking tour explores the stories behind the remarkable creation and growth of Magic Kingdom theme park. Hear the intriguing story of Walt Disney and learn how his innovative ideas, revolutionary visions, creative philosophies and amazing accomplishments brought the Theme Park to life. The journey includes stops at backstage facilities and a variety of favorite attractions.One unforgettable highlight is a trip below Magic Kingdom theme park into the service tunnels known as the Utilidors. This is one urban legend that is absolutely, and almost unbelievably, true—the Guest accessible areas of Magic Kingdom theme park are actually on the second floor of a massive structure. The first floor—called the Utilidors—allows Cast Members, deliveries and even trash to be unknowingly transported below Guests' feet as they wait in line for their favorite attraction.If you would like an even more in-depth look at the backstage areas of Walt Disney World Resort, consider the 7-hour Backstage Magic tour.Magic Kingdom theme park admission is required and is not included in the price of the tour. Please keep in mind that Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour is an outdoor walking tour, so be sure to check the weather report and dress appropriately.

First let me say, I loved the tour! But...towards the end my feet were saying we're done...and i was really in need of a drink.
Our tour started at 8:30am April 28th 2013, and our tour guide was Claire. She was great, very knowledgeable, and funny. The ear pieces given out to better hear tour was the most amazing idea!...

My wife and I took the tour on April 19th, our guide was the lovely and talented Rae. She was informed, sincere, funny, entertaining and above all dedicated, or as she described herself "a Disney Nerd".
No hesitation, recommend this to all, however, not for young children, would not have the patience with all else going on at Disney World....

I had booked this tour and the Wild Africa Tour for our last visit. I expected Keys to the Kingdom to be the better of the two. I found the tour to get a bit boring after awhile. The headsets they give you are very nice - you don't have to worry about hearing the tour leader during the trip....

The Keys to the Kingdom Tour is a backstage tour of the Magic Kingdom. You hear some of the history, and get a look at how the magic happens. You see Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, and Liberty Square, plus the parade staging area and the utilidors (pretty much where everyone wants to see) - and you get lunch and rides...

This is a 4.5 hour behind the scenes tour at Magic Kingdom. Our tour guide was Katie and she was fantastic. Everyone is given a headset so they can hear her. We started by ordering our lunch and were given some bottled water, then we got going.
Katie explained the key principles of Disney and how they strive for efficiency,...

If you are a big Disney fan, this is a must do once in a lifetime. I would recommend the shorter 4-5 tour as anything longer would really wear you down. Lots of cool behind the scenes visits

This was a very exciting part of our trip to Florida this year. it was just me and my husband with no kids so we jumped at the chance to appreciate Disney in this way. our tour guide seemed to know and understand Disney the way that i imagine that Walt would have approved of. he described the passion and...

We decided to treat ourselves to a little Disney extra on our stay and can highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves all things Mickey! My wife is a bit of a Disney nut & even she learnt a lot. Our guide Rae was excellent & certainly shared her passion for the Disney experience. Lunch was included, which was...
