It's a well known secret that there is a "city" under the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney world, a series of tunnels, rooms and facilities called utilidors that allow you to move around, store things, and all sorts of abilities to do things out of the site of guests. They are one of the neatest, most unique, and most memorable parts of working at the park. What are they like?


A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there's lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them...

Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I've visited a whole lot of them as well. Here's some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

    My mom worked “underground” in the 70s when I was a toddler and she took me down there to get her paycheck... she worked in character costumes and I saw the big bad wolfs head... it scared me and I’m surprised I was allowed down there 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

    Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated with the whole Disney Park. As an adult I love learning all about the history, secrets and how it all worked.
  • @oldschooler1
    I was in the DCP in 2013/14 and first day we walked down underground and I thought it was just the most unreal thing. They promised anybody who had their phones out and took pictures would not only be terminated, but a lawsuit would be coming, and that’s back when social media was hitting its prime, I couldn’t imagine how it would be now. Really great experience glad I was able to work there at some point of my life

    Took the "Keys To The Kingdom" tour back in 2006. Best $60 bucks I had spent in a long time!! Tour started around 9 AM and went to almost 3:30 PM!!! We spent a good 20 minutes in the "Tour Section" of the utilidors. Thanks for the memory refresh!!

    The design of the layout, service being subterranean, the garbage Shute, this is classic EPCOT era Disney thinking. It’s nice his dream lived on in a way.
  • @Eternaldarkness3166
    From a former Cast Member, that was my favorite part was getting to walk in the Utilidors all the time as a Cast Member
  • @zackschwab5036
    I worked as a Park Greeter at Magic Kingdom in the College Program (2021-2022) and had to spend a good bit of time before and after work in the utilidors. Its certainly an interesting place. Great video!
  • @pennyhinson4949
    Walking those utilidors as a castmember was awesome, AND CONFUSING AT FIRST. Then getn used to walking down there for breaks.
  • @cindyandkurt
    Really enjoyed this video. Love learning about the little secrets about Disney!!
  • @bwguidry
    Way back in the 90s, I was in Magic Music Days and had the incredible opportunity to go down into the utilidors to get to our performance area. It was a very surreal experience.
  • @katherinegardner
    I’m looking forward to starting in the DCP on February 7th. I found out the other day that my role will be photopass in Magic Kingdom! Your videos have given me great insight on what to expect.
  • @alcozome
