Backstage tours are among some of the most popular experiences for fans of Walt Disney World, with tours offering behind-the-scenes looks at attractions, and exclusive areas of Disney Parks not otherwise seen.
Many of the backstage tours at Walt Disney World have returned since they were paused at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Guests have been holding out hope that some favorites would return to EPCOT soon.
This morning, the Disney Parks Blog confirmed a number of returning backstage experiences at the Park that Guests can book for vacations this fall, and we can’t wait to share all of the details!
Behind the Seeds at Living With the Land
One of EPCOT’s most popular backstage tours, the Behind the Seeds Tour is set to return to the Land Pavilion. This hour-long walking tour of the Living With the Land attraction and its adjacent greenhouse space is perfect for Guests interested in gardening and natural sciences to learn more about how this iconic ride inspires the future of sustainable agriculture.
In addition to seeing all of the unique agricultural methods at the Land Pavilion, this Disney tour is a great way for Guests to learn some new tips for managing their gardens at home. Behind the Seeds is also one of the most affordable backstage tours at the Walt Disney World Resort, as it is only $35 per person.
EPCOT Seas Adventure – DiveQuest
The Seas With Nemo & Friends is really one of the most underrated areas of any Disney Park. The giant tank inside this pavilion houses over 2,000 creatures from 90 species, including sea turtles, dolphins, eagle rays, angelfish, and sharks, just to name a few.
EPCOT Seas Adventures – DiveQuest allows Guests to enter the 5.7 million-gallon tank to immerse themselves in the world that these creatures call home. The experience is only available to SCUBA-certified Guests, but if you happen to have SCUBA knowledge this behind-the-scenes tour offers an extremely unique look at one of EPCOT’s most fascinating pavilions.
EPCOT Seas Adventures – Dolphins in Depth
Dolphins in Depth offers a backstage tour experience for Guests who are not SCUBA-certified (or simply prefer a more accessible tour). During this experience, Guests can meet the dolphins who live at The Seas With Nemo & Friends up close while learning about these incredible animals and their lives in the wild.
