Deliveries could also be made through the tunnel keeping the inner workings behind the magic hidden from the guests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other articles that I&#8217;ve found on the internet love to refer to the tunnel as the Utilidor, while this sounds cool, no one who works there calls it by that name!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Utilidor might have been the name for it on some original design drawings but I&#8217;d never heard of that term until the advent of Disney sites on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>The Tunnel map they gave me when I worked there called it the Magic Kingdom Tunnel! (see pic below)<\/p>\n<p>During the three years <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/about-military-disney-tips\/\">I worked at WDW<\/a> one of my office doors opened right into it. Everyone who works at the Magic Kingdom simply calls it the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is just like reporters and authors who are trying to sound like they are very knowledgabel about aviation using the term &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magicshellmedia.com\/advice-for-authors\/military-aviation-advice-for-authors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tarmac<\/a>&#8221; (which isn&#8217;t a thing) instead of \u00a0runway, taxiway, \u00a0and parking ramp or ramp!<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19686\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19686\" class=\"wp-image-19686 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Tunnel\" width=\"600\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Between Fantacyland and Main Street USA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The tunnel wasn&#8217;t built as a tunnel in the traditional sense, it wasn&#8217;t dug out. Because the elevation in Florida is so low and the ocean so near the water table is very near the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Digging as deep as would have been needed for the tunnel would have yielded trenches filled with water, which would continuously have to be kept dry for the life of the park. Instead the tunnel and lots of rooms off of it were built at the original ground level, covered over and the Magic Kingdom was built on top of that. The tunnel isn&#8217;t level, in several areas it dips under the structures and waterways above.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The tunnel is a huge structure, at least 20 to 50 foot high in different areas, it is wide enough for a large truck to drive through with room to spare. It is always a hub of activity with castmembers walking to and from work or breaks, electric forklifts towing trains of carts with supplies destined for the various restaurants or retail locations, electric carts moving supplies or people to and fro, or maintenance workers on bicycles riding to a job. There are many castmembers who never set foot in the theme park, they spend their entire day in the areas off the tunnel such as, in kitchens, offices, stockrooms, computer areas, or cast support functions (wardrobe, barber, payroll).<\/p>\n<p>Doors off of the tunnel lead to elevators or stairs to the park above, castmember break rooms, kitchens, storerooms, offices, and ride machinery. Overhead you&#8217;ll see a huge amount of conduits and plumbing, everything needed to run the park. There is electrical wiring, hot, cold, and chilled water (for air-conditioning and refrigeration) piped in from a long distance behind the theme park; communications and ride control wiring; and the AVAC system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Tunnel\" width=\"800\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map.jpg 1424w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map-600x674.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map-712x800.jpg 712w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-Map-1367x1536.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the AVAC system?<\/strong> While walking through Disney&#8217;s parks you&#8217;ll notice custodial castmembers with dust pans on long handles and little brooms sweeping up the small trash that inevitably makes it&#8217;s way to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The contents of these pans and other light trash from the trash cans in the park are taken to numerous backstage points around the park and dumped into what looks like a large trash can attached to the floor with a lid that seals. These are openings into the Automated Vacume Assisted Collection System.<\/p>\n<p>The trash falls down through a tube to the tunnel overhead area where it is stored temporarily. Periodically the Avac system &#8220;fires&#8221;, and the trash whooshes through large tubes through the whole tunnel complex to a backstage collection area, where regular garbage trucks pick it up. The Avac system operates much like a toilet but with air instead of water and on a huge scale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disney doesn&#8217;t allow photography in the tunnel<\/strong> so there aren&#8217;t a lot of pics out there, but if you do a Google image search for &#8220;Disney utilidor&#8221; you can find some pics, also there is a cast member map you can find on the net.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately there is one way you can experience the tunnel yourself in person, you&#8217;ll need to reserve ahead of time the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-tips\/disney-worlds-keys-to-the-kingdom-tour\/\">Keys to the Kingdom Tour<\/a><\/p>\n<p>a four and a half hour walking tour which spends some time in walking through the Main Street USA portion of the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>There is an additional fee for this tour on top of your regular Magic Kingdom admission and lunch is included. Tours begin at 0830, 0900, and 0930 in front of City Hall.<\/p>\n<h2>Disney Pictures<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_19690\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19690\" class=\"wp-image-19690 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-2.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Tunnel\" width=\"500\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-2-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Under the Castle heading to Main Street<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19689\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19689\" class=\"wp-image-19689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-3.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Tunnel\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-3.jpg 388w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Under the Castle coming from Main Street<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And this pic is near where I used to work in Tomorrowland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-4.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Tunnel\" width=\"634\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-4.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-4-600x318.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Magic-Kingdom-Tunnel-4-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you look really close, you can see a silver walk-in freezer far ahead of the guy walking on the right side of the tunnel.
