All Aboard! The Walt Disney Railroad is Back
Hey Disney Park fans! Disney World’s Magic Kingdom theme park welcomes guests aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad once again for the holiday season. This opening-day attraction returns with a completely refreshed track looping the park, and another new surprise for fans and first-comers alike.
The Railroad had been closed for over a year now due to construction of Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction, TRON Legacy that will be opening late 2023.
Not only did this historic 100-year-old vintage steam train undergo track updates and maintenance, a new narration had been added to bring guests into the beloved stories they’ll encounter as they travel from one magical land to the next.
Per Disney: “The creative voiceover process is as detailed as the train operation itself, and it all starts with our conductor. For these meticulously restored steam trains, we know the scenic grand circle tour must be guided by a voice our guests can envision and resonate with. Someone who grew up on Main Street, U.S.A., dreaming of the day they’d be on the railroad. They’ve now achieved that dream, and they know everyone and everything at Magic Kingdom … an unofficial mayor of sorts. This conductor is humble, genial, and knowledgeable, and he’s eager to help passengers of these iconic steam trains get to their destinations around the park he loves so dearly.
While our conductor points guests to the familiar sights on their left and right, we embrace what makes Magic Kingdom a place unlike any other, where guests can escape into completely new worlds and celebrate with characters they love. This legacy attraction now holds true the very nostalgia of opening day and blends it with the wonder of new adventures, immersing everyone into story after story as it loops around the park. Guests may even encounter a character or two along the way!”
