Family Magic Tour. It's a two-hour "surprise" scavenger hunt in which your guide encourages you to find things that have disappeared. Disney officials don't want to reveal the tour's components—after all, it's the Family "Magic" Tour—but they will say that a special character-greeting session awaits you at the end of the adventure. Tours leave City Hall at 10 am daily ($34 for adults and children 3 and up). Main Street, U.S.A., Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, FL, 32830.

Keys to the Kingdom Tour. The 5-hour tour gives you a feel for the Magic Kingdom's layout and what goes on behind the scenes. The walking tour, which costs $75, includes lunch but not admission to the park itself. No one younger than 16 is allowed. Tours leave from City Hall daily at 8:30, 9, and 9:30 am. Included are visits to "backstage" zones: the parade staging area, the wardrobe area, and other locations in the web of tunnels beneath the Magic Kingdom. Main Street, U.S.A., Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, FL, 32830.
