Thank you for the confirmationOne of my favorite childhood memories was riding the railroad are at night in mid July 1981.
It does to a kid! It is amazing to me that a child can understand that it is not "racing", and an adult cannot accept that. To a kid it is driving, we adults can call it whatever we want, it is still a fun adventure for them. Most kids have boundless imaginations, something real life takes away from us grown-ups. The only theme it needs is the illusion that it is a highway and they are driving. That is what they are concentrating on, it could be in a cardboard box for all they care. Hell, when I was a kid I used to have imaginary trips across country pushing myself around, in a field (with one foot) in a little red wagon. White Christmas decorations, trees and bushes are for the entertainment of adults.We rode the speedway a couple weeks ago so we could get a closer look at Tron. I don't have any issues with a "drive your own" car ride just this version of it. I understand it is suppose to replicate racing but that doesn't come off well. The one at Disneyland is so much more interesting with it's spaghetti layout, up and down the hills and all the trees and bushes. I would prefer the land under the speedway to be used for a couple of new attractions or scrape out the speedway and put in a much more interesting Autopia. The white Christmas decorations were kind of neat and retro.
They used to stay open to close. Usually pausing for the fireworks.I’m sure they need to beef up staffing but honestly isn’t this probably due to firework times? The fireworks are at 8:15, the train track is right in the fallout zone so in order for them to have enough time to cycle out, put the trains away and secure the area, I doubt they could stay open much later anyway…
Exactly. This is the exact same thing they do at Disneyland, the train stays open all day, pauses for fireworks, and then reopens.They used to stay open to close. Usually pausing for the fireworks.
You might wait for more than one train on Main Street, it’s the most popular stop. Usually you’ll get on the next train at FL and SS.How long are the waits typically to get on the train? We have never been to WDW with the train running
This is such a GREAT reminder! You just did a book report on “Hook” and didn’t even know it!It does to a kid!

One of the cool and unique things about the WDW and DL railroad is you never have to get off the train. You can stay on as long as you’d like. That means if lots of guests choose to stay on, the line may not move as fast as you think.How long are the waits typically to get on the train? We have never been to WDW with the train running
This can also happen on rare moments on the TTA when their isn't that many guests..One of the cool and unique things about the WDW and DL railroad is you never have to get off the train.
