Disney Family Magic Tour

I am always trying to find one special thing to do on every trip we take to Disney.  One that we haven't done before to keep things fun and new for us.

For our daughter's 7th birthday I decided we would take the Family Magic Tour. She has been begging to go on the Keys to the Kingdom tour but Disney says you have to be 16 and older.  She doesn't like that idea, but I guess they have their reasons.  For this tour it's ages 3 and up though so I booked it! And couldn't wait to go see what it was all about.

You meet your Cast Member and fearless leader outside of City Hall at a specific time given to you when you book the tour. They give you cute Peter Pan name tags and a bottle of water.  We were there early enough to have a few minutes alone with Snow White about Princess Erinlee's special day. She walked up behind us and took her by the hand, walked off and sat down like old friends. These memories are what makes Disney so magical.

When everyone arrives for the tour the CM explains a little about what you are going to be doing and then you set off on an ADVENTURE. Did someone say ADVENTURE? Oh wait that's Dream Along With Mickey.

We were given Mickey dust to help us along the way.  Who doesn't believe in Faith, Trust and Mickey Dust?

They had a few little tasks for the younger ones in the group. My daughter was chosen to protect the gold coins.

So off we went with our fearless Cast Member to find where that trouble maker Peter Pan had hidden Capt'n Hook's hook!! We had to find it because if we didn't he would take over the Magic Kingdom forever... *GASP*


We were told that when we saw a Cast Member standing around that we should approach them and say ARRRRR!
If they responded back with an ARRRRR we knew they were pirates and were part of Hook's team.  If they did not say ARRRR they were just CMs and nothing to fear.

The clues were fun and pretty easy for the Disney Geeks in our family.  So we had to hold our tongues not to shout out every answer to every clue. That wouldn't be fun for everyone else.

As we were heading down Main Street to our 2nd clue, we saw a Cast Member standing on the corner beside Casey's and approached him with caution. And we all let out a loud ARRRRRR...and he responded with an ARRRRR!! We screamed and ran!!

It was a lot of fun but people around us did not know what in the world we were doing and why we were yelling at Cast Members. I can't say that I blame them but it was kind of like a little secret society that we were a part of and it was fun!!

About half way through the tour we found ourselves in Tomorrowland sneaking up on Sonny Eclipse. Have you ever tried to sneak through Cosmic Ray's on your hands and knees? It's rather entertaining when you have about 20 people in a line on the floor crawling through a busy restaurant.

At that point we stopped to have some water and take a bathroom break.

After about a 15 minute break we headed back out on our adventure to find that hook. We just knew we were doomed! We had to save the Magic Kingdom from that rotten Capt'n Hook....

We had a few more clues to go, and they lead us straight to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride area.

Tucked away in a cozy little corner we all looked and looked for the hook, and out of nowhere came PETER PAN!!! And guess what he was holding ? THE HOOK!! 
YAY, We saved the Magic Kingdom!

We were all given a chance to have pictures with Peter Pan and we thanked Meghann from South Carolina for being such a brave leader! Each family receives a certificate as a reward for helping save the Magic Kingdom.

Overall the tour was a lot of fun for all ages. I suggest doing it as early in the morning as you can, especially if you are there during the summer. It is not too fast paced but they do try to keep the tour within the 2 hour time frame.

The price for the tour is $34.00 plus tax per person ages 3 and up. They do offer discounts for AP holders,DVC,Disney Visa and AAA Diamond members.
