Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to join as you walk through downtown and stop at buildings that have history of supernatural events! Our guide, Korben, was fantastic in telling the stories of ghosts, mysteries, and history that you wouldn't even know are right here in the city! A graveyard under a movie theatre, a college campus that was a former morgue, murders, mafia crimes, and more! This was such a unique experience and we had a great time! The tour is about 60 minutes covering 1 mile and features a few stops! Policy as of 4/26/24: "Pets are welcome as long as they do not disrupt or distract from the tour."

We attended a walking ghost tour in Orlando on a Sunday evening. For a Sunday night the restaurants, bars and clubs all seem to be operating as if it was the start of a weekend... although the on-and-off rain has reduced the "usual" crowd there were still a lot of people out, we actually walked to some shady parts of DTO which was more scary than the ghost stories... but wait, I'm still getting started with the actual ghost tour. Our meeting place was outside the Orange County Regional History Center in Downtown Orlando. We did a lot of walking so wear comfy shoes. Our guide talked about haunted buildings focusing on: 1- The Beacham - a ghost of an old woman is seen somewhere near the stage, always accompanied by drastic temperature drops. 2- The Cheyenne Saloon is one of the most popular venues in Orlando, but it has a spooky past... 3- Church Street 4- Ceviche - guests will see an out-of-place woman dressed in 19th century garb, standing behind them in the reflection 5- Hamburger Mary's Bar and Grille, originally a hardware store. Apparition of a young girl dressed in Victorian clothing 6- Kress Building - Kres Chophouse is considered to be a paranormal hot-spot by Central Florida ghost hunters 7- St James Catholic Cathedral - they even conduct their own ghost tour inside 8- Orange County Regional History Center - we learned about one of America's most prolific serial killers, Ted Bundy. The building was the location of Bundy's murder trial in 1979 My daughter purchased the Bonus Extended Tour Upgrade which was up to 4 additional haunted locations. These were all interesting and cool. Thank you to our tour guide, Tabitha.) Review #2781

Recently I've been getting into doing Disney tours. I did the Behind the Seeds Tour in the Land a…read morecouple of years ago, and since then decided to experience more in order to enhance my trips. Since I love Epcot, it was only natural for me to want to do the UnDISCOVERed Future World Tour. UnDISCOVERed Future World is a 4-hour walking tour taking you through all the pavilions of Future World in Epcot, plus a couple of extra behind-the-scenes places. The cost of the tour is $69, but Disney provides a discount if you're a DVC timeshare holder, annual pass holder, or a Disney Visa Card holder - perks! There are usually two tours a day at 8:30 and 9am. We met in the old Innoventions West, right by Club Cool. It is there we checked in, got our name tags, and met our guide. We started by getting a brief history of Walt Disney and the origins of Epcot. After that, we made our way to the center of Future World plaza and talked more about Walt's vision of EPCOT (the utopian city), and how that idea shaped what the park is today. I won't spoil the tour in case you want to experience it, but basically we went through each pavilion of Future World; at each stop our guide would tell us the origins of the attraction, fun facts about the design, and how it connects to the vision of Epcot (which is, by the way, to Inform, Entertain, and Inspire). In addition to visiting each pavilion, we were able to touch a piece of one of the tiles that make up Spaceship Earth (as well as ride the attraction), visit the VIP lounge in Mission Space, ride Test Track, and see how they clean the 3D glasses for the attractions. The last part of the tour had us going back to the cast center of Epcot - basically the main hub for the employees where they are dropped off each day. Think of it like a huge employee break room with lockers, a food court, and offices. Our last stop was the wardrobe department, which handles the uniforms and costumes for cast members in all of Epcot. This was one of my favorite parts of the tours, it was really interesting to see how they organize the costumes, and it was really cool to be in a part of Epcot one doesn't normally have access to. Overall, this tour was well worth both the time and the price; it was great learning more about my favorite Disney park and it really enhanced my Epcot experience.

If you have a trip planned then opt for it when you reach your 60 day reservation mark for dining. It is listed under "enchanting extra". It is offered a few times each morning and it does sell out fast. That being said I grabbed this tour the first day we were eligible and believe me this is truly the best tour in the Magic Kingdom. Allow a full 5 hours for this tour. You meet at Main Street cinema, preorder your prepaid lunch (part of your tour cost) at Pecos Bill and meet your tour guide. Our tour guide was a charming lady named Liza who gave us portable headsets to hear her better. She came around and adjusted them if you needed help. We started down Main St, looked up at the names on the storefront windows and learned the history about them. Walt's name is there too! You need to look above the ice cream store after you turn the corner and you will see it. They have plenty of pseudonyms there to disguise the fact that Walt Disney was the real sponsor. After that we headed to Adventureland where we got a behind the scenes ride of the Jungle cruise. It was great looking at it from a different perspective. We toured Frontierland and Liberty Square and then sat down 2 1/2 later at Pecos Bill for our lunch. We had a special room reserved for us and our floor was by our nametags. They even gave us a souvenir keepsake, A Disney Keypin to go with my name pin. Please note that we ate at around 10:30. If planning to eat breakfast that day I would suggest to go light since lunch was so early. We then got priority access to ride the haunted mansion and learn more about the famous stretch rooms. During our visit we went "backstage" to where only cast members are permitted both on the main floor and of course finally visited the utilitor system. We are committed to secrecy on this part of the tour but I will tell you that you will learn a lot and it is amazing with all the things we saw. We spent a good 45 minutes in the utilitor and walked around it. Liza answered any questions we had and made sure we stood in shady areas to combat the oppressive heat of the sun. When the tour was over we were surprised to learn this was her first tour by other tour guides and was awarded her D pin which she could now display. Needless to say we were all very happy for her. This tour is for persons over 16 who want to know more about the Magic Kingdom. No two tours are like. This tour differed in many ways from the tour I took years ago and it was so fascinating and informative. Highly recommend this tour for any who wish to spend their day learning about the Magic Kingdom.

Due to the length of the tour, I have waited until now, as we are now locals, and O didn't want to take 5 hours of our park day to do a tour. I have never been disappointed by the tours I've been to at both Disney World and Disneyland, and this was no exception. Our tour guide, Darlene, was awesome. Really knowledge about the topics and friendly. She made me tear up at a point too about some info she shared. I don't want to spoil anything covered. 4 stars only for lunch. The tour currently stops at Pecos Bill, and I'm generally not a fan. Ordered the salad themed for the Country Bears that is vegetarian friendly. You can add chicken or pork, but there are no additional plant based add ons so the salad was very meager without a protein. It was also supposed to come with edible flowers, but it didn't have any.

Whether passionate about history or not, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ybor City or Tampa.

The pace was relaxing and it fit well into our relaxed vacation in Florida. My favorites were the Chicken Tamales and the Bahn mi (fresh crusty bun and flavorful and crunchy pickles and fillings) and sweet and crisp Pandan Waffle. Amada was delightful and definitely recommend checking out Winter haven food tours.

The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and more than willing to answer any questions you might have about the amazing animals.
