WALT DISNEY WORLD RAILROAD

Being a Lifelong fan of the railroads, it seemed only natural that Walt would fuel his passion by having them operate around his theme parks, and so he did! The Walt Disney Railroad takes passengers on a leisurely run around the Magic Kingdom, stopping off at most of the lands en-route and offering some unique views, especially around Big Thunder Mountain. It's also a quick way of moving from land to land should the walking start to take its toll. The signature Main Street Station has become a centre-piece for all who visit.
