Walt Disney World Railroad Reopens to Guests
The heartbeat of the Magic Kingdom has returned after a four year closure! The Walt Disney World Railroad closed on December 18, 2018 to make way for the groundbreaking of the Tron Lightcycle / Run roller coaster that’s set to open in March of 2023. Since its closure, the park has felt like a piece of its heart has been missing.
