Backstage Magic:
This is the ultimate Disney tour for any fan, inviting you ‘backstage’ to discover how the Disney magic is brought to life. The 7-hour tour is the most popular of all and will show you things you could only dream of as well as things you didn’t even know existed. For example, did you know that The Magic Kingdom was actually built above ground level, with a series of secret tunnels that run underneath? Well, you’ll be able to explore all of these tunnels during your tour and see how the characters and cast members get around the park! You’ll also get a sneak peek at the incredible costume department, where you’ll have the chance to watch the talented seamstresses creating glittering masterpieces for your favourite characters. Relax and enjoy a complimentary barbeque lunch in-between park hopping. When your tour comes to an end, you’ll receive a gift to take home as a memento of your special day!
Price: $255-$269
Disney’s Family Magic Tour:
Something fun for the whole family, this scavenger hunt begins at the Town Square Theater and challenges you to take part in a quest around The Magic Kingdom. The interactive adventure has plenty of surprises along the way, including some special guest appearances! The evil Captain Hook has stolen some items belonging to your favourite Disney characters, and Mickey has enlisted you to help retrieve them. Work together to solve the riddles and clues as you journey through each land. Enjoy fun, games and a fast pass ride experience where you’ll have to search for a clue on-board, before reaching the surprise grand finale!

Venture under the sea at Epcot for an extraordinary one-of-a-kind experience. Explore the depths of Caribbean Coral Reef, an enormous 5.7million-gallon man-made saltwater ocean and swim alongside over 6,000 stunning marine creatures! Look out for sea turtles, angelfish, eagle rays and even sharks as you snorkel inside the huge aquarium.

Backstage Tales:
If the Animal Kingdom is your favourite park, you’ll love the chance to get up close to some of the beautiful animals that call this place home.

Next stop is the onsite veterinary hospital where you can witness first hand, the hard work that goes into looking after the animals.

Disney’s Keys to the Kingdom Tour:
If you want to see as much as possible but don’t have as much time to spare, this is similar to the Backstage Magic Tour, but with a duration of 5 hours instead of 7, giving you more free time to spend testing the park’s exciting rides! You’ll still be able to see some of the same exclusive highlights with access to special locations that are closed to the public, like the mysterious underground “Utilidor” tunnels! Along the way your guide will share with you all kinds of behind-the-scenes secrets, theme park facts and Disney trivia as you learn more about the man behind the magic; the legendary Walt Disney.
