Backstage Magic

Get a seldom-seen glimpse at the wizardry and hard work going on backstage—and see how we bring the magic to life!

Millions are enchanted by the legendary magic of Walt Disney World Resort, but tour participants are among the select few who receive an up-close look into the artistry, technology, mechanical marvels and backstage secrets that go into producing world-class entertainment. Our guides provide a plethora of knowledge, little-known facts and insider insights as they whisk Guests away on an amazing 7-hour journey. Plus, each Guest receives a special commemorative gift!

Some highlights include:

• Epcot
  Explore the inner workings of The American Adventure as we reveal the feats of engineering and artistry behind this inspiring Audio-Animatronics stage show.
• Magic Kingdom Park
  Become immersed in the story that started with Walt himself on Main Street, U.S.A.—navigate the “utilidor” tunnels, a network of underground passageways constructed beneath the theme park so Disney Cast Members and delivery vehicles can move around undetected.
• Creative Costuming
  Observe the talented professionals who design costumes for Character, show and parade performers.
• Central Shops
  Get up close with the artisans whose skill and craftsmanship make dreams come true all around the park—from the tiniest details to elaborate stage sets.
• Tiffins Restaurant
  Celebrate the bold spirit of discovery, enjoying an exclusive lunch—just for Backstage Magic Guests—in a setting reminiscent of a famed explorers club.
• Behind the Scenes at Rivers of Light
  Go backstage at this nighttime spectacular to see the technology, artistry and magic that bring the river to life in a brilliant symphony of sound, illumination and breathtaking special effects.
