food IS a theme park
All aboard! Now that Tom Sawyer Island, the Rivers of America, and the Liberty Square Riverboat are closed, the Walt Disney World Railroad is undergoing some changes.

Before you hop on the train, be warned that your route might be a little different than you’re used to.
When you think of Disney World, what is the first thing that pops in your mind? For many, it may be the Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is home to lots of iconic rides including Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and “it’s a small world.”
Cinderella Castle
There is so much to explore and do inside of Magic Kingdom, and while we think it is a truly magical place, there are also some hard truths to know about this park.
Here at DFB, we’re experts on the BEST ride seats in Disney World.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
We know that the back row of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the wildest, that requesting section B1 on Soarin’ will get you the best view, and that well…there really IS no good seat on Kali River Rapids (may the odds be ever in your favor to stay dry!). But what about the Walt Disney World Railroad? Well, we’ve got a tip for that classic Disney ride as well!
For many, Magic Kingdom is the epicenter of Disney World. Plenty of the resort’s most recognizable attractions are located in this park!
Cinderella Castle
From family-friendly rides like Mad Tea Party to thrills like Space Mountain, Magic Kingdom has a little something for everyone. It’s also the most popular park at Disney World, and even the lesser-known attractions can rack up long wait times. If you’re trying to hit every one on your wish list you may want to take advantage of Disney’s Genie+ service and use Lightning Lanes!
HUGE NEWS for fans of classic Disney attractions!
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is FINALLY reopening in Magic Kingdom! The iconic train will reopen this holiday season (with a specific date yet to be announced), and it’ll feature some major changes when it returns. [Read more…]
Y’all. What a day!

Disney has announced a critical change to 1-day, 1-park tickets, upcoming price changes for Park Hopping, a Park Pass change, and Annual Pass price increases, but that’s not all! When it comes to Magic Kingdom specifically, we’ve got an update on the Walt Disney World Railroad!
The Walt Disney World Railroad has quite literally been closed for YEARS.
Train Station
The train used to travel in a circle around Magic Kingdom, but was temporarily put out of commission when Disney started building TRON. We still have no update from Disney on when the train might be back, but we’re seeing some encouraging signs in the park!
Don’t ya just hate when things in Disney World are CLOSED?
BOOOOO
We do, too! Especially when there are super long closures in the parks. We miss climbing Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, as it’s been closed since early January. We also miss the Walt Disney World Railroad, which has been closed in Magic Kingdom for over 3 YEARS. But, today, we saw something that might mean the train will return soon!
GET READY DISNEY FANS, IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED. What has happened? What is “it”? Well, let us explain!
Main Street Railroad Station
Fans of the Walt Disney World Railroad have been deprived of their scenic and relaxing rides around the Most Magical Place on Earth for quite some time as construction on the TRON attraction continues. Late last year, Disney announced that the Walt Disney World Railroad had been undergoing some refurbishment, and shared that it would even start testing soon in Magic Kingdom. And recently one Disney fan witnessed something that’ll make every Disney World Railroad fan incredibly jealous!
You might not be able to go on the Walt Disney World Railroad right now, but you can still celebrate your love for this classic attraction in several ways!
