Except that song was sung by the citizens of Main Street (who are no longer employed by WDW,) heavily features Zip a dee doo dah (which is now forbidden) and features a song about 7 lands to the MK (when there is now only 6.)

Happy the train is back.
Also, I think it would be awesome if MK added a version of DL’s Primeval World diorama–they could do Florida swamps instead of the Grand Canyon. In my opinion, something like this would help move the railroad from “transportation” to “attraction” for more guests.

And required locking guests outside the park gates, which they no longer do. And then the nail in the coffin is the daily 30-minute advance entry granted to resort guests.

I always rode the train with my grandparents and parents when we visited as a kid (my grandpa especially loved trains ... he passed a few years ago). Next May will be my first time riding with my wife and 3-year old (and my parents, now as grandparents themselves). I'm emotional just thinking about it. Simple pleasures indeed!

IMO the most important thing about the train is the kinetics it adds to the park. We rarely actually rode the thing, but we really missed seeing it moving around the loop. The train isn't just about the train, the train also makes Big Thunder a better ride, and Storybook Circus a better land, and the tapstyles at the front of the park a more magical experience.

What an interesting perspective. I've never thought of that, but it's 100% true.
One of my favorite things as a kid (haven't been back since 2009 that the train has been running) was being able to hear the whistle from Fort Wilderness. It was like I knew I was at WDW.

Do you have pictures of your grandpa on the train? Might be nice to show them to your kid while riding.

What a great idea! I'm sure we do. I'll have to look through those outdated things called photo albums.
Thanks! Where did you find that?

Confirmation today that the WDWRR will not close with Splash. The Frontierland Station may need to close for a time but the trains would just drive right through. The actual path will remain clear.
