Attraction Overview

The Walt Disney World Railroad (WDWRR) is a cherished attraction located within the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Resort. It’s a 3-foot narrow-gauge heritage railroad that offers a grand circle tour of the park.

As you enter the Magic Kingdom, the Main Street Train Station is an unmissable sight. This scenic stop is the first spot where you’ll hear “all aboard” before the train begins its journey. The train travels around the Magic Kingdom on authentic steam power, with stations located in Main Street USA, Frontierland, and Fantasyland.

This attraction is a testament to Walt Disney’s love of trains. The journey is a slow-moving, 20-minute scenic round-trip covering approximately 1.5 miles. Recently, the iconic train has reopened after being closed for an almost 2 year period, bringing joy to park guests once again!

Main Street USA Station

As you enter the Magic Kingdom, the Main Street USA Station is a picturesque sight that you can’t miss. It’s the first spot where you’ll hear “all aboard” before the Walt Disney World Railroad begins its journey. This station, located near the entrance to the Magic Kingdom park, serves as the gateway to the nostalgic and charming world of Americana.

Frontierland Station

The Frontierland Station is another stop on the Walt Disney World Railroad. It’s nestled in the heart of Frontierland, a zone that celebrates the pioneering spirit of the American frontier. The station perfectly captures the rustic aesthetic of the wild west, offering passengers a chance to step back in time as they disembark for adventures in this themed land. You can find the station nestled between Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and the now-closed Splash Mountain, which will soon be Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
