At Magic Kingdom guests will once again get the opportunity to gain backstage access to legendary hidden areas on Keys to the Kingdom tour.

During the 5 hour tour, guests will get access the underground “utilidor” service tunnels, learn hidden secrets of classic attractions, enjoy a delicious lunch and so much more.

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, several tours are returning including the Caring for Giants tour, Wild Africa Trek, Up Close with Rhinos and the Savor the Savanna tour.

All of the tours have been suspended since the parks were forced to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Disney said advance bookings are highly recommended for all tours and can be made on Disney’s website or on the My Disney Experience app.

Guests must have a valid theme park admission and reservation while experiencing the tours.

Walt Disney World plans to share more details about some other tours including the Starlight Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in the future.
