food IS a theme park
It seems like it’s been forever since we last saw the Walt Disney World Railroad at Magic Kingdom in service.
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since late 2018 due to construction in Tomorrowland on the Tron coaster. Disney has not announced an end date for the closure, and we recently saw that it would remain closed into 2022.

We’re reporting LIVE from Destination D23, one of Disney’s largest fan events. We’ve learned about upcoming technologies, returning Disney World entertainment, and more! Now, we’re taking a look at some excitement coming to an overseas Disney park!
It’s no secret that Disney is all about embracing technology — not just in the parks, but also in ways that can benefit and assist guests visiting those parks.
New Incredibles-themed rooms at the Contemporary
Mobile Order has changed how we get food at the parks, Mobile Checkout has changed how we shop, and Disney Genie has changed how we plan our days in each park. And recently, we shared how Disney will use Amazon Alexa to offer guests their own Disney-themed digital assistant at home AND Disney World hotels.
This weekend is Destination D23 at Disney World, where we’ve been getting some big news!

We got an inside look at the new DVC tower coming to Disneyland Hotel, learned that a new restaurant is coming to EPCOT, and found out when Avengers Campus will open at Disneyland Paris! And, we also got a new look at the progress being made on TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom.
Happy D23 day! Between all the new Disney technology, previews, and announcements, there’s a lot to look forward to in ALL the Disney parks and resorts! But today, we’re sharing some news about the O.G. park — Disneyland!

It’s an exciting event that usually gives us some big news or sneak peeks at upcoming Disney projects. We’ve already learned about an updated stage show returning to Disney World, when Avengers Campus will open at Disneyland Paris, and got the opening timeline for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT! And now, we have a sneak peek of the new Disney Vacation Club tower being added to the Disneyland Hotel!
Remember that video from months ago that teased some new Disney Imagineering tech for characters? It looked like a human-controlled mechanical puppet, and the internet (or at least us Disney people) went crazy! Well, during Disney’s D23 event, we got some more information on this new technology, officially called “Project EXO.” (Even the NAME is cool!)
A NEW type of character tech is coming!
What does Project EXO look like? What can we expect in the future? How will this change the game? Let’s talk tech!
