We Rode the FIRST Magic Kingdom Train in 4 Years — Come Along With Us!

Get ready to climb aboard, because it’s time to ride the TRAIN in Magic Kingdom again!

The Train!

After being closed since late 2018, the Walt Disney World Railroad has finally reopened to guests. We were lucky enough to be on the FIRST guest ride on the train, and we couldn’t wait to share the experience with you — so come with us!

We got the chance to climb aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad and be some of the FIRST guests to ride the new route! There are plenty of changes, including new narration that Disney shared a sneak peek of previously. But now, we’re ready to ride — so come with us!

There is is! The Number 1 Train Engine has had a bit of a facelift, and it’s looking quite beautiful if we do say so ourselves! And the Cast Members who work on the Walt Disney World Railroad are here too, of course.

Remember that new narration we had mentioned? We got a sneak peek of it from Disney, but now we can hear it ourselves! A good reminder that on the train, it’s never goodbye and always “See ya real soon!”

It’s FINALLY HAPPENING! After keeping up with the construction, seeing the train testing, and waiting with anticipation — we are finally going through the TRON tunnel!!! You can even hear TRON music playing overhead — how cool is that?

Um, HELLO TRON! That’s quite the close-up. Until now, we’ve really only been able to see this part of TRON from the PeopleMover or over by the Barnstormer. But now, we can see TRON from a whole new angle. We can’t wait for more construction progress photos from here!

What happens when one railroad meets another railroad? A railroad high-five of course! Check out what Big Thunder Mountain Railroad looks like from the train.

We’re SO excited that the Walt Disney World Railroad is open and welcoming guests once again. Make sure you check it out on your next trip if you want to see the changes and the new route! Stay tuned as we continue to bring you even more updates from the Walt Disney World Railroad.

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of the Walt Disney World Railroad. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
