Walt Disney World Railroad

Although the Walt Disney World Railroad is still closed for now, several signs point to a reopening soon. We’ve seen the train testing several times in the park (including at the construction site for TRON Lightcycle Run), and Disney even released a video of an engineer operating one of the engines.

However, Disney still hasn’t revealed when exactly the Railroad will reopen. We’ll be watching for updates!

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

Tomorrowland Light & Power is still closed for refurbishments, and Disney hasn’t announced when it’ll reopen.
