VIDEO: CHANGES Made to the Magic Kingdom Train!
Have you heard the exciting Disney World news?!
Walt Disney World Railroad train
The Walt Disney World Railroad REOPENED today in Magic Kingdom! That’s right — the Magic Kingdom train is finally BACK! We had the opportunity to ride the train as part of a Disney media event, so we got to check out a few major CHANGES in this popular attraction. Come with us to see how the railroad is different now than it was before its multi-year closure!
The Magic Kingdom train still circles the park, stopping at the three stations located around its route. But there are a few important changes that you should know about. First, Disney updated the tracks and engines to keep them in tip-top shape and make any needed repairs.
Looking sharp!
They announced that the Number 1 Engine got a complete refurbishment during the 2022 D23 Expo. The wooden railroad ties were replaced with composite ties as well!
It’s been almost 4 YEARS since we’ve seen these smiling faces! Welcome back, Walt Disney World Railroad cast members!

The path now runs right through the construction site for TRON: Lightcycle Run — a roller coaster that’ll open in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland in the spring of 2023. There’s a tunnel for the train to run through, but you can see part of the construction on the other end.

The most noticeable change might be the new narration on this attraction. Disney announced that the train has a new conductor, who tells stories and points out landmarks along the route. Of course, the ride begins with the standard safety announcements, but the voice is new!

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 reopening. 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.
