Are you sure? You know I really shouldn't be posting these, right?
































Ok, fine. Here are some maps and images:

I really want to take that tour next time I'm in WDW! The people who get to ride with the presidentially-pardoned turkey(s) as Grand Marshals in the parade at the MK on Thanksgiving are my neighbors, it must have been cool going down there and seeing the rest of the parade being prepared!

(And that was pretty funny, albino_pygmy )

You can find this castmember-only map of the Utilidors on many websites, just do a Google search for "Utilidor Map":

As for images and recordings, probably not too likely. When you take the Keys to the Kingdom tour, you're specifically forbidden from bring cameras or any other recording devices with you. That's not to say I don't think anyone's EVER taken a picture while down there, just that it's less like to be found. And really.... it's a bunch of long grey cement corridors. Nothing overly special as far as pictures go. It's not all Disneyfied like you might expect - in fact, on our KttK tour, when we went backstage, our tourguide Jason reminded us "You are still going to see three of the four Keys to the Kingdom - Saftey, Courtesy, and Efficiency. You will not see ANY of the fourth, Show"

I have seen a few shots of the tunnels online, not many tho. Mritty is right, they look very boring, notthing worth writing home about. Think....the back side of a beautiful painting how plain and blank it is. The most exciting thing I saw on the pics online was the arrows pointing to the differernt lands. WHO HOO(sarcasm...lol)

[mini-V]

If you've ever traveled down the tunnels from one building to the next on a college campus or subway, THOSE corridors are probably more exciting. Honestly. The neatest things I saw were rooms full of costume heads all stacked up on metal shelves AND the door that had 3x5 cards listing the criteria to be a costume cm. This is not to say that I don't think the KTTK tour is worthwhile. I've been on the AK tour and a private KTTK tour, and hope one day to do a behinds the scenes tour for Studios and Epcot.

Thanks for the report Jiminy Cricket! I have always wanted to do that tour. I wonder if the longer tour that includes Epcot (I forget the name of it) is worth it? I think I am going to do one of these for my birthday in March, happy birthday to me present!

Loved that report! I know this to be true first hand: "We were also surprised to learn that backstage you can get from City Hall to the Crystal Palace in 30 seconds due to the design of the buildings and since you can walk a straight line."

A CM during a very crowded parade that we were not staying to see escorted us out this way back stage. The entrance is by the restrooms next to the Crystal Palace. Men's Room, Ladies Room and generally a locked Cast Members only...in about 30 seconds we were up front and past the parade crowds. It was interesting to have happen but not pretty and a plain 'ole everyday walkway.

That's the same entrance to the backstage that we used in our Keys to the Kingdom tour. We went back stage there, down to the utilitdoors, and when we emerged, we had crossed Main St and were in a parking lot between the Main St Cinemas and the Galaxy Palace Theatre.
