Description

Opened on October 1, 1971, this 1.5 mile railroad used to have three stops spread around the Magic Kingdom park. These stops included the main station on Main Street, the station in Frontierland, and the station in Mickey’s Toontown Fair. The station in Mickey’s Toontown Fair was closed in 2011 due to the expansion of Fantasyland. You could have boarded or departed at any of the stations or you can ride the train for the entire 20 minutes and end up back at the main station on Main Street. The main station is the most famous of the three stations and is one of the first things visitors see upon their entrance into the Magic Kingdom park.
