Disney does such a good job of hiding the figurative ropes and pulleys that you’ll be disappointed if you hope to catch a glimpse of what makes Disney really work. To meet the growing demands of interminably curious guests, Disney offers tours and programs that satisfy the need to “peek.”

Guided Tours

Unless otherwise noted, advance reservations may be (and should be) made up to 180 days in advance at  407-WDW-TOUR (407-939-8687), or through your resort’s Concierge desk. Some discounts are available to Annual Passholders, Disney Visa cardholders, or Disney Vacation Club members. Tours are only open to guests 16 and older unless otherwise noted. Many tours require substantial walking and most are wheelchair accessible. In general, no photos of backstage areas are allowed on the tours. Cancel 48 hours in advance to avoid penalties. Tours that require regular park admission are noted with the ticket () icon. Important: Bring photo ID with you for tour check-in.

Guests without reservations can inquire at City Hall, but the tour is very popular and we recommend you book it well in advance.
