Exactly. I love the trains.For fun, not for transportation.
Yeah, I got one of those, too.DH throws a temper tantrum if we don't ride the train at MK. It's his favorite and he's a train nut anyway. So sometimes we ride it just because, other times it saves us a walk through the middle of the park.
You have no idea how upset he gets when it's closed for refurbishment.....

It really only makes sense if your feet are hurting or you can tell from the sound that a train is about to arrive, other wise you waste too much time just sitting waiting to get to it. While I've never timed it I just can't imagine it even saves you any actual time getting from one side of the park to the other when you factor in the time it takes for it get actually get you there and the fact that it doesn't actually drop you off at the best spot in the area you are going (except for the mainstreet area if you are leaving MK)... I will ride the train in DL just as a ride because there is more to see, at MK the train ride is pretty worthless as a slow ride because there isn't that much to see when you ride it.We didn't use the train(s) on any of our past trips, mostly because we forgot about them. However, now that I think about how we walked from frontierland to the exit at 12:15am after a long night at MNSSHP, we probably should have.
Do you use the train while at Magic Kingdom?
Do you use it as a slow ride all on it's own or to help your "park strategy?"
Has anyone every done the train tour? Is it fun/worth the cost and time?
Thanks for your insight!
You couldn’t have used the train that late after MNSSHP because it isn’t running that late. We ride for nostalgic reasons.

If MK is open late enough they will start running the trains after the fireworks. They just have to check if there's any fires along the tracks. I've ridden the trains at 2:00am before (loooooooooong time ago).You couldn’t have used the train that late after MNSSHP because it isn’t running that late. We ride for nostalgic reasons.
