What to expect

The Walt Disney World Railroad is both an attraction and a functioning transportation system that circles Magic Kingdom with stops at Main Street, Frontierland, and Fantasyland. Inspired by Walt Disney's lifelong fascination with trains, the attraction uses authentic steam locomotives originally built between 1916 and 1928 and carefully restored for Disney use. The ride offers scenic views of the park, transitions through themed environments, and occasional behind-the-scenes glimpses, making it one of the most relaxing experiences in the park.
