Walt Disney World Railroad Reopens With Limited Shuttle Service

The line resumed early after track replacement while Frontierland expansion work keeps parts of the route and station areas closed.

Overview

  • The Walt Disney World Railroad returned to service earlier than originally announced and is running as a shuttle between the Main Street, U.S.A. station and the Fantasyland/Storybook Circus station only.
  • Disney carried out track replacement work at the Main Street station rather than performing overhauls on the locomotives.
  • Walt Disney World’s online schedule lists operating hours beginning October 30 and notes earlier closings on special-ticket event days.
  • The limited route and partial station closures are a direct result of ongoing Frontierland projects, including the Piston Peak National Park and Disney Villains Land expansions that keep sections of track and station features under construction.
  • Guests should expect reduced access to second-floor viewing areas, some station amenities, and full-circuit train service until construction and phased refurbishment work in and around Frontierland finish.
