Two fan-favorite Disneyland guided tours return in May

Cultivating the Magic Guided Tour

Guests will learn how plants and flowers play an important role in storytelling at the Disneyland Resort, from colorful flower beds in Town Square to exotic plants on the Jungle Cruise.

From the moment you pass through the Main Entrance at Disneyland Park, begin your journey into the theme park’s living storybook. Be welcomed by the Mickey Floral, and then walk through Town Square, where you’re greeted by cheerful flower beds and hanging baskets full of brightly colored flowers. Stop at the Central Plaza, commonly referred to as “The Hub.” From here, be guided through the beckoning west of Frontierland, the fairytale kingdom of Fantasyland, the imagined future of Tomorrowland, and the wilds of Adventureland—which is not only home to many exotic plants but also to the Jungle Cruise attraction [where] every plant you’re going to encounter along your journey was chosen for its own particular tale. Your tour guide will unearth their stories—as you travel from the misty Amazon River of South America to the African Velt and other fascinating destinations overflowing with beauty.

The Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour

Guests will learn about Walt Disney’s love of trains and how it shaped his vision for the Disneyland Resort. The tour includes the rare opportunity to ride in the Lilly Belle (dependent on weather and availability).

Walk through the park listening to stories about where the idea behind Walt’s train creations first started. Understand the impact trains had on Walt Disney’s dreams—from animation and film all the way to the theme parks. [The Disneyland Park Roundhouse] is where “the magic happens” for the historic Disneyland Railroad system, and it’s not typically viewed by the public. You’ll learn more about the Imagineers who look after the Disneyland Monorail and trains. During your guided tour, climb aboard Disneyland Railroad’s special Presidential Car, the Lilly Belle. Take the scenic route along the Rivers of America to see landscapes inspired by four of America’s majestic rivers: the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Missouri, and the Rio Grande. Each is carefully recreated, complete with indigenous rock formations, natural forests, wildlife, and five picturesque waterfalls.
