One of the best Disney Parks backstage tours for introverts

Introversion Insight:

It really is all in the details, and introverts notice them. They have an eye for it. There’s something satisfying about discovering small details that often get overlooked. Introverts pay attention to the small things and ultimately appreciate them more.  

 

All magic comes at a price. But for an additional price, you can experience behind-the-scenes magic at Disney Parks—in the form of backstage tours. They’re a great way to learn about the details Disney Parks are known for. But here’s the thing: backstage tours are perfect for introverts, and here’s why.

 

Small gathering > large gathering

If you had the choice of having a small, close-knit group of friends come over vs. a large group, you’re probably going to choose the former. And it’s not just because of the number of people. You feel more connected in private gatherings. You get a sense of that on a backstage tour, a connection to the other Disney Parks nerds on your tour and a connection to the parks themselves.

 

Love of learning

Introverts live inside their heads. It’s a nice place to be most of the time (although, it can be exhausting sometimes). We’re always thinking—and overthinking—things. Growing up you actually enjoyed learning new subjects in school. If I had it my way, I’d be a full-time college student the rest of my life.  


You probably research and obsess over a particular topic or hobby. It’s just how you roll. And if you’re reading this, I bet one of those obsessions is Disney Parks. Backstage tours help you learn and ponder the parks like you’ve never done before.

Living with the land

Not every introvert likes gardening, but I’d venture to say every introvert enjoys quiet, more solitary activities (like gardening). So one of the best backstage tours for introverts is the Behind the Seeds tour at EPCOT. 

 

If you’re a fan of the Living with the Land attraction, then Behind the Seeds should be one of your (and Stacey’s) must-dos! And even if you’re not, it’s pretty fascinating. You’ll learn about some of the agricultural methods used at The Land, visit labs and greenhouses, sample cucumbers, and touch one particular plant.

Here are some introvert tips:

  • The check-in location is inside The Land pavilion to the right of Soarin’ Around the World.
  • Check in fifteen minutes early. You’ll sign a waiver and get a name tag.
  • Be prepared to introduce yourself. Don’t worry—it’s short and sweet. The tour guide will ask you to say your name and where you’re from.
  • You’ll wear an audio device to better hear the guide. The rubber part goes behind your ear.
