Welcome home to this fun friend duo who took a girls getaway to Walt Disney World recently! On this most recent trip they decided to book the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. Read along for Traci's review of this fun experience!
"We’ve visited Walt Disney World so many times. For this trip we wanted to try a fresh and unique experience. The Keys to the Kingdom Tour was the perfect choice! It offered a fascinating dive into the history of Walt Disney (so cool!) Kathy and I got choked up so many times learning amazing new things about his legacy. We also loved seeing new things about the Disney magic we thought we knew so well.
The booking process was as easy as pie! Huge thanks to Ashley, our travel agent, who took care of all the details. All we had to do was show up and enjoy an exceptional day.
This tour was such a special Disney experience. From the minute we arrived, we felt like special VIPs. That impression carried throughout the whole day. We enjoyed a private lunch held in an empty restaurant (Columbia Harbour House) before it opened to the public. Quite different from the usual lunch where we wander around hoping someone will finish their lunch hair as we come in with our trays!
We enjoyed exclusive access, going straight to the front on two popular rides and receiving a personal behind-the-scenes tour of the famous Utilidor, Disney's underground cast member area.
A huge part of our enjoyable experience was due to Judith, our tour guide. She was amazing! Her wealth of historical knowledge, along with her personable and fun demeanor, made us feel truly welcomed and enriched the tour with fascinating Disney tidbits.
There wasn't a single part of the tour we didn't love. Spending over five hours walking around the park, including enjoying lunch, two rides, and a behind-the-scenes tour, was absolutely worth it. The highlights for us included seeing the historical displays in the Utilidor and touring the costume sewing room—both offered a unique glimpse into the park’s behind-the-scenes magic.
The tour ended with a delightful surprise: a special Keys to the Kingdom pin, which made a perfect keepsake of our adventure.
Overall, the Keys to the Kingdom Tour was nothing short of spectacular. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to discover new depths of Disney magic and history. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney veteran like us, this tour is a remarkable journey into the heart of Walt Disney World. 100% recommend!"
