Two popular guided tours are returning to the Disneyland Resort. These tours, the Cultivating the Magic Guided Tour and the Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour, are set to again begin taking guests through the parks starting on May 11, 2024.
The Cultivating the Magic Guided Tour provides a unique look at Disneyland Park through the lens of the plants and flowers that help tell the Disney story. The Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour takes guests on a ride of discovery that follows Walt Disney’s love of trains and how that influenced Disneyland Park. It includes a ride aboard the Disneyland Railroad’s special Presidential Car, the Lilly Belle.
Each of these tours is hosted by a knowledgeable Disneyland Guest Relations Tour Guide. Reservations for the tours will begin to be available on April 30, 2024. Official details about each tour can be seen below.

How Magic Grows
Be immersed in storytelling at Disneyland Park where every little detail, including landscaping, helps to create a living storybook. Explore the magic that comes from plants and flowers which play a key role in storytelling, as they traditionally have at The Walt Disney Company—from the beanstalk that Mickey climbs to the Enchanted Rose that loses petals one by one.The Botanical Story
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.Take a Ride on the Jungle Cruise
