Magic Kingdom has been making some MASSIVE changes. We’ve seen both Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad get HUGE updates. Villains Land is being built behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Piston Peak is being built in Frontierland. But we have yet another change to warn you about soon, too.
The Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is set to close soon, so if you have plans to ride this attraction, you’ll want to make note!
According to the Disney World calendar, The Walt Disney World Railroad is set to close on September 28th. However, the good news is that the closure doesn’t seem to be for too long: the calendar shows it reopening on October 30th. This is probably just a refurbishment, so we don’t expect to see any big changes with the attraction.
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is an opening day attraction in Magic Kingdom that operates with historic steam locomotives. It takes a round trip around Magic Kingdom and consists of four locomotives with five passenger cars each. Each train can hold about 365 people.

The railroad has three stations: Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and Fantasyland. Usually, you can take a loop around the park, but due to construction in Frontierland, the railroad is operating in shuttle mode only: from Main Street, U.S.A. to Fantasyland and back again. Still, it’s a great way to save your feet if you don’t want to walk through the park.

We’ll keep an eye out for more closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

They have more than 1train , I think it’s 3 ,wouldn’t think its a track issue, really can’t see why it shuts down at all . Disney cut backs, you pay full price, but only get half the rides open. Thier not staffing all the down rides so their labor costs are down so shouldn’t tickets be too
I wish they would improve the guest experience in the back side of the run between Frontier Station and Toon Town. Woods are not in the guest list of things to experience
