Disney recently revealed a closer look at what’s going on on one of Disney World’s most beloved and historic attractions.
While Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World offers Guests some truly amazing and iconic experiences, none of the rides or attractions can compare with the historic nature of one of the Park’s most legendary rides.
The Walt Disney World Railroad is a legendary Disney attraction that takes Guests across all lands in the Park. Unfortunately, the railroad has been inoperational for close to five years with no word on when it will reopen, until now. In a video posted to the Disney Parks TikTok (@disneyparks), we can see the iconic Walt Disney World Railroad starting its official testing. See the video below:
In the video, Cast Members talk about how iconic and beloved this attraction is and how crucial it is to the overall experience at the Magic Kingdom. The crew believes that the trains are part of “Walt’s legacy”, as Walt Disney himself had a fascination for trains and locomotives. The Cast Member states that they “are excited to getting the railroad back open”, but unfortunately, we are still left waiting for an official date or timeframe for when the Walt Disney World Railroad will return.
However, as shown in the video, it’s looking like the day is coming soon. We saw the railroad test a few months again but it seems like Disney is kicking things into full gear in order to finally get the attraction open again soon.
Listen to the clamor of the engine, the chug of the wheels and the call of the whistle as you travel aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad.Take your seat on 1 of 4 meticulously restored, vintage narrow-gauge steam trains—originally built between 1916 and 1928—and enjoy a relaxing 20-minute, 1.5-mile scenic round-trip tour.
It’s a convenient—and nostalgic—way to get around Magic Kingdom park!
