BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 No official confirmation on this yet, but rumor has it that the Walt Disney World Railroad will be closing for refurbishment September 28 through November 8. I won't add it to the refurb schedule until we get official Disney confirmation, but wanted to give folks the heads up. ETA: Just confirmed that Disney officially has this closure on the schedule for September 29th thru November 7th Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 It was just closed in Jan or Feb for refurb. That was for refurbishment of the stations. This is supposedly due to unforeseen track maintenance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Awwww man! We were thinking of doing a "everyone is back in school" Disney trip, but there is no way I will go if the railroad is closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saves many steps in the MK. A huge plus for my arthritic hips and knees. But we will be there anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Maybe we can all join together in October...light some candles... and :'( Okay Disney...if you close the train again (yes, you're right G&G, it was closed when we were at the Fort in February), then you need to make sure that the People Mover is OPEN. My two year old walks around our home saying, "Magic Kingdom with YiaYia and Popo in October...ride the PM". So, open the ride!! Please!! :thank-you-smiley3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've gotten official confirmation that Disney officially has this closure on the schedule for September 29th thru November 7th. I've updated the first post and asked the powers that be to move this from the Rumors board to the WDW board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I didn't realize that the railroad was that big a factor in deciding whether to visit WDW or not.I have an autistic son, who loves the railroad, so for him it would be a big deal. It would be pointless to go if his main attraction was down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
