The Best Disney Tours To Take

By Mark Russell


Parents and kids the world over dream of a vacation in either Anaheim, where Disneyland is, or Orlando, home of Disneyworld. You can visit the multiple parks at either location and stay in their plush resorts, but if you do it alone, your access is limited. However, if you take one of many Disney tours available at each park, you can have an experience that most guests simply do not get to have, while making memories that will last a lifetime.

Disneyworld in Orlando is more than just one park. It is a series of parks, and you can tour some behind the scenes areas of each and everyone. Many people love to see what happens behind closed doors, but most come for the chance to see the giant underground utilidor tunnels that allow workers to supply restaurants and attractions with food and merchandise.

Animal Kingdom is another park in Orlando, and it features lots of animals form around the world, including elephants. You can take the Caring for Giants tour to get less than 100 feet away from these magical animals, which is much closer than the average park guest gets.

Star Wars is a big hit with both geeks and mainstream fans, both of whom will love the Stars Wars Guided Tour, available at Hollywood Studios. There are multiple live shows, which you will get special reserved seating for. An original film, Star Wars: Path of the Jedi will also be screened, and kids 12 and under can undergo a fun Jedi training program and get fed a themed meal as well, plus other activities.

A lot of families take a long weekend or a full week in order to have enough time to see each and every one of the Disney parks in the Orlando metro area. But if you want a much quicker peek, you can go on the Ultimate Day of Thrills VIP tour. The VIP part is quite important here, as you get a private tour guide who sees to all your needs for the entire day. They will even ride the rides with you if you would like, and then happily escort you across Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

If you choose Disneyland instead, you can still get all kinds of wonderful experiences in Anaheim. The Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour lets you experience this famous park from the eyes of its creator. You get lunch or dinner at Main Street USA provided by Jolly Holiday Bakery and a collector pin that is very sought after.

The Resort VIP tour is available to guests of the resort, and gives you access to guide tours for California Adventure Park as well as Disneyland, so that you do not miss anything. As part of this program, you do not have to stand in line for many attractions, since you get priority access to them. You also get reserved seating at many shows and unlimited picture downloads with the PhotoPass that comes as part of this exciting package.

The Grand Circle Tour lets you get on a train and ride in Lilly Belle, which is the favorite personal parlor car of Walt Disney. In addition, you get a free snack that is themed to the tour and access to a special collectible as well.
