The Main Street U.S.A. Railroad Station at Magic Kingdom is undergoing construction, causing some changes to its accessibility. This work is part of regular updates and refurbishments that keep Walt Disney World attractions running smoothly for guests.
Below, we’ll look at what’s happening at the station, what areas are impacted, and how this might affect your visit.
Construction Details at Main Street USA Railroad Station
The central staircase at the Main Street U.S.A. Railroad Station is currently behind construction walls. This specific area is closed off to accommodate the ongoing work. Fortunately, the exit ramps and side staircases remain open, allowing visitors continued access to the station. The central indoor terminal is also still accessible for guests during this time.
Photos from the site show that the work is limited to the staircase area, so the majority of the station remains operational. This construction project is one of several updates being carried out at Magic Kingdom, which also includes work inside The Emporium and a significant refurbishment of the Astro Orbiter.
What Does This Mean for Guests?
For guests planning to use the Walt Disney World Railroad, the impact of the construction is minimal. The closure of the central staircase may lead to slightly altered navigation through the station, but alternative routes are available. If you’re visiting with a stroller or mobility aid, the available ramps and side staircases should still provide the access you need.
It’s always a good idea to keep an eye out for signage around Main Street U.S.A., which provides information and directions to help guests during refurbishments. Additionally, the ongoing updates are a reminder to be mindful of possible brief delays or changes to your park routine as Disney ensures its attractions remain in top condition.
