Has anyone done Backstage magic tour

[Rachel In Red]

Magic Kingdom - a tour of the Utilidors. Very interesting as they spent time showing the various maps and where the secret entrances come out to the park. Also saw a bunch of cast member areas and talked about things like garbage collection, supply delivery etc. After the utilidors we went back "on stage" and waited for the 3:00 parade. Our guide pointed out how the floats are controlled and how the various second floor windows on main street open and close as the floats go by in order to balance the appropriate sounds of the parade based on where you are standing/sitting.

Touring the utilidors would be pretty cool.

I scheduled this tour during my trip this fall. Can anyone tell me approximately what time the tour ends?

We went YEARS ago....AK was still being built. We got to see all the signs and things being made. So cool to see them in the parks now. They were also refurbishing the carousel and talked a lot about the horses and how they are painted. At Epcot we got to go backstage in the dolphin area and behind some of the countries. AT MK, we got to see all the utilidors and the huge computer room. We got to be down there during the parade which was quite an experience. We also toured a lot of the park and got explanations about a lot of the making of Main Street etc. Our lunch was at Mama Melrose's. Got to see underneath the Star Tours ride and then ride it and also did a tour of the costuming department sewing and then in the utilidors under MK. Saw a lot of characters "headless" and smoking! Not so magical! We also got to see the Spectromagic and water parade floats up close. It was really fun and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
