🤨 It's unfortunate the TRON tunnel was lackluster after many years of planning and construction. Projections and/or lightning effects would have been a nice touch – another missed opportunity for Imagineering to "wow" guests.
If you’re wondering what the difference is between the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, simply watch videos of each respective railroad back to back for a clear demonstration. WDW makes no attempt to tell a story or create a cohesive sense of place with this attraction.
Former WDWRR conductor and engineer here (mid '70's, pre-construction of the Fantasyland station and relocation of the Frontierland station). I miss the live spiel we gave as conductors, and am surprised how far back they have cleared the foliage along the right of way between Frontierland and Fantasyland. It used to almost brush the side of the train cars! So good to see it return after so long an absence, especially for Christmas!
The tron building looks like a giant IKEA sticking up out of nowhere. Zero theming anymore. New narration is boring. Tron is 4 years late for being exciting anymore and splash mountain closing in a month? Disney really has lost their direction. Not worth the money
My last trip on the WDWRR was so stressful because the family in front of me sat a little kid on the end of the seat, she spent the entire trip with all four limbs hanging out of the car, and I was sure I was going to have to spring up and yank her to safety at any moment. This video went a long way toward replacing that memory with something more pleasant!
I cried tears of JOY hearing the whistle on the railroad! Also the applause from the guests when Walter arrived. Love the windows in the tunnel allowing glimpse of Tron as it cycles by. Would NOT have hurt my feelings if dinos were recycled for the tunnel from UoE, but rightfully Disneyland should have this standout finally.
Even tho I haven’t been to WDW since 2019 and idk when I’ll Be back, but hearing that Tron overlay on the Twain when it goes by gives me chills… awesome movie in a more awesome place. Hope to return sooner then later 😢
Outstanding stuff. Thrilled to hear the Tron Legacy theme being used – I know it was on the Shanghai ride but it's great to hear it confirmed for Florida. One of my all time favourite film scores.
So Happy to see the train back in operation. My Handicapped Granddaughter loves riding the train. It will be the first ride we go on when we vacation there in February for her 16 Birthday.
Seeing the Tunnel that was put up for Tron, at most this train should have been down for a month. There is so much structural pre-fab that could have been done before bringing the tunnel sections in. Leaving only the pouring of concrete to be done once the prefab tunnel sections were in place. If there were safety issues around structural steel construction and construction equipment for the ride over the tunnel, they could have left this construction until off hours. Or done limited train shut downs to accommodate construction. All while constructing other sections of the ride area. We have all seen road closures and bridge construction that are much larger projects take vastly shorter amounts of time with less disruption to traffic flow, than this project took. All for such a short and painful boring tunnel. Good to have the train back. Thanks for the video
I feel like they could have done a lot more with the tunnel underneath Tron to be honest but hey 🤷🏾♂️ I can't complain. Good to see the railroad running again 😁
Glad to see the Walt Disney World Railroad back again and I love the new narrations! Although at 4:30, Splash Mountain is sadly no longer going to be around because of some themes in the movie, Song of the South, that don’t appeal to modern audiences. Anyway, I use to live in Florida all the 26 years of my life up until June earlier this year when I move to Texas and I wish I was back there to ride the Walt Disney World Railroad again! 6:10 never mind. I thought that left turn was new. My mistake. Always a great thing to have the Railroad up and running this Christmas! Merry Christmas to everyone two days ago and a Happy New Year!!!

Who here jumped forward to the part where it went through the Tron coaster because you wanted to see what it look like through there now
Man, hearing this narration of the train ride makes me think that this will be rework once Splash mountain is closed down come next year.

The ring of that bell! Gives me good feelings.
will it run if its raining?
I cant wait to ride it when I go for my birthday next month!
Is it just me or is the train going very cautiously slow?
💓
Figures this would reopen AFTER I got back from visiting, lol.

We NEED this narrator for the Disneyland Railroad too. He’s just got so much charm and personality!
My gosh Disney is weak, unimaginative, and beyond pathetic. What a joke.
Over four years down and this is the best they could do?

Woohoo!!!
This makes me happy! Thanks for posting this!
Now I want to go back to WDW instead of cruising

Interesting to have a Splash Mountain mention for only a month. I wonder what it will be next month.
Exciting to see the footage – I haven't been on the Railroad for over 10 years- it's on the To Do list for the next trip!!
Two of the trains were sent to the Strousburg Railroad in Lancaster, PA for re-conditioning. My husband worked there.
The train is back! Now, all we need are the trams! At the very least at DHS, please
its been so long. was it always this quiet between the conductors narration? Most notable from MS to ADL
LOL The narrator sounds like he's been studying J Peterman from Seinfeld!
Glad to see that it’s back. I wonder who’s the new voice narrator and what’s going on with the yellow train, Roger E. Broggie
Who’s the voice actor for the narrator
So…. all this down time for a short tunnel…
It's wonderful having the train back. Great to see and hear it.
Could you also plan for a future video of the unobstructed park interior rider view.
Even tho I haven’t been to WDW since 2019 and idk when I’ll
Be back, but hearing that Tron overlay on the Twain when it goes by gives me chills… awesome movie in a more awesome place. Hope to return sooner then later 😢

I spy a wild Breedlove in the beginning!
Surprising to see splash mountain narration with it going away in 3 weeks
It's about time, glad it's back finally!!

They’re going to have to update the narration again once they convert splash mountain into the princess and the frog thing
Looks like they removed the dinosaurs😢
Any idea who the new narrator is? I badly wanna say Corey Burton.
