In the end it’s just a train that many other theme parks also have, so I wouldn’t set up unrealistic expectations.All my trips to WDW, we've never been on the train, even as a child. My husband always liked the one in Disneyland (he grew up there).
Now I feel like we have to ride it with this build up, but I also feel it can never live up to my expectations.
It’s nothing spectacular, but it’s nostalgic and a good way to “tour” the park. And it’s a nice way to take a little brake from the hustle and bustle of the day. I’ll also say that having it not running for so long has taken a little bit away from the atmosphere for me. So I’ll be glad to have it back.
He was the original and the role of Mayor was retired.
Disneyland's train is much better in my opinion.All my trips to WDW, we've never been on the train, even as a child. My husband always liked the one in Disneyland (he grew up there).

They are both quite nice - I like the larger locomotives at WDW as well as an actual grade where you can hear the locomotives work (or slip as the case may be now). The stretch in the woods actually feels like a train ride vs. the non-stop Disney created scenery - Same thing when comparing riverboat to riverboat.
That’s the nice part about MK, there’s always something to do with no wait (and it’s not like they’re throw always either, they’re solid attractions). TSI, Steamboat, WDWRR, Tikki Room, CBJ, Philharmagic, HoP, Peoplemover, CoP and Laugh Floor.
I feel similarly about every park other than DHS, honestly. DHS has some of WDW’s best rides but is nonetheless a very frustrating park to visit.
Agreed. Muppet Vision is like the only decent walk on
Gonna be waiting awhile as that show closed in 2017.
But it was the proper way to open......
