I am taking my daughter and friends to the DC show tomorrow. We have very good seats and they are bouncing off my walls. I abandoned the living room and went to the kitchen to experiment.

I think the tour in total was five or six hours. We started on Main Street and got all kinds of cool stories on the way to Jungle Cruise. We rode jungle cruise and got stories there.

We left there and walked around near pirates and ended up near Tianas. We entered “back stage” through there. We got to see the float sheds and got close looks at the maleficent dragon float and one or two of the new electric floats that run at the new night show. We got more stories and info as we retraced our steps and walked down to Columbia Harbour House where we were given a complimentary lunch.

After lunch we got to go in the “servant entrance” of Haunted Mansion and got to ride. We heard lots of fun stories about its history and mechanics. We left there and walked to the carousel. We accessed the utilidors near Storybook Treats.

The part of the tour in the utilidors was amazing. We saw multiple “friends of…” in various states of dress. We got to walk through the costume department which was surreal. We navigated the corridors until we ended up under the castle. Lots of stories because our guide was one of the few castle members who is a castle concierge. We popped back up just behind Town Square Theater.
