Yes that is correct. Everyone taking the tour must be at least 16 years of age. It's a very informative tour and they take you into the back stage area of the park where you may see a character who is not dressed in full costume. It can be very tramatic to see Mickey without his head!! Believe me, I was disappointed when I saw the CM who was portraying Mickey without his character head and smoking a cigarette. And I am alittle over 16!!
