However, we do have some speculation and recent updates, which we’ll share later in the post. Disney hasn’t officially announced when this iconic attraction will return to Magic Kingdom. If you’re here looking for the Walt Disney World Railroad reopening date, we unfortunately still do not know when that’ll happen. Nearly two years later–and over three years after it first closed–the Walt Disney World Railroad still is not operating as of Spring 2022. It reopened substantially the same (slightly shorter) way back in Summer 2019. ( Note: Main Street Station is no longer open to guests as of Spring 2022.)Īdditionally, the Tomorrowland Speedway closed on Januto re-route that ride’s track. During this time, Magic Kingdom guests will be able to get an up-close look at the railroad and partake in unique photo opportunities. Disney announced that the Walt Disney World Railroad will temporarily pause operations, with trains “parked” at Main Street Station beginning on December 3, 2018. ( Updated March 25, 2022.)įirst, the basics. In addition to the basic details, there are a few interesting takeaways from this news, and we also have some speculation to offer.

Walt Disney World Railroad is temporarily closed for the construction of TRON Lightcycle Run roller coaster in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom.
