All Aboard the Disneyland Railroad, a beloved and iconic staple of Disneyland Park, is undergoing major renovations, much to the surprise and curiosity of guests and fans alike.
In August, the Disneyland Railroad officially closed for refurbishment, marking the beginning of a significant upgrade project. Known for its historic charm and a sentimental nod to Walt Disney’s fervor for trains, this attraction has been a cornerstone of Disneyland since its inception. Now, visitors will witness the sight of workers diligently removing and replacing tracks to ensure the ride continues to provide safe and memorable experiences for years to come.
One prominent area of work is the space between Tiana’s Palace, a new restaurant inspired by “The Princess and the Frog,” and the Haunted Mansion. Fresh Baked Disney shared compelling footage of the torn-up tracks and ongoing efforts at ToonTown station, drawing attention to the significant scale of the project. Additionally, Disney enthusiast Kevin Brooks (Twitter handle: @Darth_KB) has offered glimpses of the new track pieces awaiting their turn to be laid down, keeping fans updated with behind-the-scenes peeks.
For those unfamiliar, the Disneyland Railroad offers an 18-minute scenic journey through the heart of Disneyland Park, with stops at Main Street, U.S.A., New Orleans Square, Mickey’s Toontown, and Tomorrowland. Its role in Walt Disney’s grand vision has made it a sentimental favorite among guests.
While the exact reopening date remains under wraps, anticipation is building as the railroad undergoes these much-needed improvements. As guests await the return of this classic attraction, Disneyland continues to innovate and expand, with upcoming attractions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure promising new adventures.
