Walt Disney World Railroad takes you on a 20-minute scenic tour around Magic Kingdom theme park on one of 4 antique steam-powered engines with stops at Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland and Mickey’s Toontown Fair.
The Walt Disney World Railroad stops at a station every 4 to 10 minutes, and it is the perfect way to get orientated at the beginning of a fun day at Magic Kingdom Park—or a fantastic place to get away from the action, rest your feet, kick back, relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
The railroad trains are all meticulously restored antique freight trains. The 4 trains—named Lilly Belle, Roy O. Disney, Roger E. Broggie and Walter E. Disney—were built in the United States around the turn of the 20th century and taken to Mexico. They enjoyed long careers working for the United Railways of Yucatan hauling sugarcane, until they were spotted by Disney scouts in 1969 and brought to Walt Disney World Resort for opening day on October 1, 1971. They have been happily circling the 1.5-mile track around the Park ever since.
Walt Disney had a great love for railroad trains. He even built his own miniature railroad at his home in California. It was named the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, and railroad fans will want to check out the Carolwood Pacific Railroad Room at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
