Walt Disney World Railroad closing for 5 week refurbishment in late September

[zakattack99]

Well this is disappointing... but again as long as it's getting the love it needs!

Maybe they can actually put up a tarp and repaint the Main Street Station since it looks SO faded...

That god this starts the day I leave. I was counting on the train to occupy my dd when my pregnant feet get tired!

Bummer, this is the second year in a row it will be closed during my trip! But atleast it's getting some TLC and I can ride it when I'm there again in February.

Yep now it's official so I officially believe it! lol. Dissappointing for our trip 2 years in a row but that's okay as I'm sure it is for a good reason. Next trip will be in December again after this year so hoping I should be good again! Lol Usually was always running on our December trips.

Pleased it's getting the attention it deserves but like many above this is the second visit in two years I can't ride it
Only just managed it three years ago as we were there just before the refurb
They need to move the dates of possible to avoid disappointed fans

So glad the date got moved back, so I won't miss it!

Dates are changed for this.

Walt Disney World Railroad closing for refurbishment later this year

Oh thank God it's open my full trip! I would have been a so depressed not being able to take a lazy ride around the MK.

So... if they move the date of the refurb wouldn't they still disappoint some fans? Just asking.....

 

[Sage of Time]

Luck of the draw. Some people are going to miss some attractions. Better than having the attraction fall into disrepair.

 

[KYWDW]

Still waiting on the return of Lillie Belle. Maybe they'll surprise us and bring it back during this refurbishment. But, not holding my breath.

 

[wdwdude1]

Glad it is getting refurb love. It is one of my fav attractions - I find it so relaxing.

 

[Unplugged]

Refurb = Good.
Closure without replacement = Bad.
I vote Refurb!

 

[danv3]

Looks like I do get to ride the rails this year after all!

 

[RiceCrispyMickey]

Awww and I was really gonna make the most of it this year what with my post-wine and dine half marathon stiff legs

When the train is down for referb, do they still use it in the welcome show?

Someone will always be disappointed with any refurb. I am just gutted that for the last 3 years it has always been closed when I was there.
Try and change the dates a bit so regular visitors who come at the same time of year get to try something that previously was closed on their last visit

Yes they do part of the show, but no train comes to the station. Just the singing, dancing, and countdown to the opening.

 

[erasure fan1]

It sure would be nice if they added some more things to look at around the loop.

Refurbs and such never really bother me when an attraction needs it. The problem I have is when you miss a ride because of a refurb and the next time you get to see it, they really didn't improve anything. **coughspacemountaincough**
