Join Walt Disney World cast members and Imagineers in celebrating the re-opening of the Walt Disney World Railroad. Today is the perfect day to contact your travel agent to book your next trip. This week the nostalgic Walt Disney World Railroad in Magic Kingdom will welcome guests aboard again for the holiday season. The railroad was an opening day attraction that is returning. The track that loops the park has been refreshed and includes new surprises for all.
The 100-year-old vintage steam train underwent track updates and maintenance. Imagineers took the opportunity to revisit the narration and make some new updates. There is a new voice that will be bringing guests into the stories that are told as you travel from one land to the next. The familiar sounds of the steam engine's whistle will be complemented by the new sounds and voices. There will be a new conductor to carry on the tradition of warm welcomes with amusing anecdotes even adding some fresh commentary to the journey.
The voiceover process is extremely detailed, much like the operation of the train itself. All of this starts with the conductor. The steam trains have been meticulously restored, and the scenic tour they embark on must be guided by a voice that guests can relate to. The voice of someone who grew up on Main Street, U.S.A., dreaming that one day they would be on the railroad. That dream has now been achieved and they know everything about Magic Kingdom and all of the people. This is an unofficial mayor of sorts. The conductor is a humble, genial and knowledgeable person, who is eager to help the passengers get to their destinations.
While the conductor points out the familiar sights to each side of the train guests can embrace what makes Magic Kingdom unique. Escape into new worlds and celebrate with loved characters. This legacy attractions brings back the nostalgia of opening day while blending it with new adventures and immersing the guests into story after story. Characters may even appear along the loop.
The trains represent Walt Disney’s love of trains and help to share his love with the world. As you board the train for the grand tour around the park, you will be reminded of Walt. Make sure to contact your travel agent today to book your next trip to Walt Disney World.
