LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Walt Disney World Resort most guests see is the picture postcard one. Many-splendored Cinderella Castle. Colorful parades. Busy ferryboats plying Epcot waters with distant Spaceship Earth looming like a silver moonrise.
But guests with more than a passing interest in what makes it all tick can choose from a variety of expert-led tours -- onstage and backstage. The creative magic of Disney Imagineers, the world-class skills of Disney horticulturists and animal care specialists, and the wonders of Walt Disney World Resort are shared on these fascinating and fun-filled tours. It’s the magic behind the magic.
The Epcot Seas Aqua Tour provides guests who don’t have an open-water scuba certification an in-the-water experience with the animals of The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion. Guests use snorkeling equipment during the 2½-hour program.
Real Disney aficionados can get their fix on Backstage Magic, a comprehensive, daylong guided tour which calls at three of the four major Walt Disney World theme parks and treats guests to special surprises along the way. In seven hours (including lunch) guests peek behind the curtains at Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom -- areas strictly off-limits to regular guests.
There are more than10 themed tours offered throughout the year plus a Yuletide Fantasy offering during December. Information about themed tours is available by calling 407/939-8687.
And for guests who’d like the ultimate customized experience, there’s a custom guided tour service which can plan and lead a personalized itinerary. To plan a custom guided tour, guests may call Disney's VIP Tour Service at 407/560-4033.
