Banking services, dining, transportation, grooming, locker rooms, rehearsal areas and administrationĭACS: The the powerhouse of Disney. The moment they step out of the hidden Magic Kingdom tunnels into public view, that’s them “on stage” and on best behavior with big smiley welcomes for all.Ĭast Member Services: This is where Cast Members go about their business away from public peepers. Walt didn’t want his errant cowboy suddenly appearing next to one of his Caribbean Pirates, hitching a ride on Aladdin’s Magic Carpet or poking his head round Space Mountain.Įntrances to the Disney Utilidors is through doors known only to cast members dotted throughout Magic Kingdom.Ĭast members park about a mile away and are transported to the tunnel entrance by Disney buses. There, they make their way to their place of work either on foot or are driven on battery operated electric vehicles resembling golf carts. The tunnel walls are color coded to make it easier for Cast Members to navigate their way underneath the park to their desired location. There’s a central path right down the middle. The resulting Disney Utilidors are today 9 acres of underworld tunnels in the form of a circle with spokes leading off in various directions. This was supposed to be the future world and not the middle 1800s. One glance told Walt that a cowboy dressed in checked shirt, bandana and cowboy boots twirling a six shooter looked totally out of place in Tomorrowland.

You probably wouldn’t have had the slightest idea that by the time you reached the iconic Castle, you were already at third floor level. You would also be forgiven for not realizing you were walking on the roof-top of a sprawling city below. And Actually, the Disney Utilidors are not quite so secret! As you reach the entrance of the Magic Kingdom, you probably wouldn’t even notice that you had been walking up a steady incline ever since you got off the monorail or ferry-boat.
