Hop on aboard for a trip around the Magic Kingdom. Along the way, you'll experience the Grand Canyon, as well as a visit to the Primeval World. The Railroad stops in the following lands: Main Street USA, New Orleans Square, Mickey's Toontown and Tomorrowland. The entire trip around the Magic Kingdom, with stops, takes about 20 minutes.         

     While waiting for the train, you'll notice a station across the tracks. This was the original station for Frontierland. When construction began on New Orleans Square, the small station was relocated across the tracks. At that time, a new station platform was built (the current station). The remaining space was used for The Haunted Mansion. 

For the 1949 film "So Dear to My Heart", a small train station is featured. After filming was completed, Disney animator Ward Kimball took the set pieces to feature on his Grizzly Flats Railroad, his own personal railroad on his property. The set pieces were not built to last, thus Ward ended up building most of the station himself.

When money started to get tight for the building of Disneyland in early 1955, Walt asked for the train station back. Ward, who had spent quite a bit of money on the station at this point, reluctantly agreed. The station ended up being built from the plans that Ward still had, (photo, right) so Ward was able to keep his station

From the station, you'll hear what appears to be Morse Code. It's actually land-line telegraphy and it is Walt Disney's Opening Day speech. 



The Disneyland Railroad is a great place to relax, but beyond the Tomorrowland station is the Primeval World and Grand Canyon Diorama. The dinosaurs and scary music in this section may frighten small children. If you think they might be scared, try boarding the train at the Main Street Station and exit the train in Tomorrowland.
