Walt Disney World Railroad is Back...with an All-New Voiceover
The Walt Disney World railroad is a classic original opening-day attraction at WDW that first began operation in October 1971. Now, after many years, it's back on the tracks with a completely refreshed track and another new surprise...one you may or may not like. Walt Disney Imagineering has introduced a new recorded narration voice to share stories as the train circles Magic Kingdom Park. Disney's release stated that the narration is "a voice our guests can envision and resonate with. Someone who grew up on Main Street, U.S.A., dreaming of the day they’d be on the railroad. They’ve now achieved that dream, and they know everyone and everything at Magic Kingdom … an unofficial mayor of sorts." For us, the jury's still out on whether or not this was a good thing as my initial reaction is that I don't care for the PeopleMover vibe on Walt Disney World Railroad. So what do you think? Is the new voiceover a great addition or an unnecessary distraction? Chef Mickey’s transitions back to buffet-style dining March 1 Starting March 1, 2023 Chef Mickey’s will go back to buffet-style dining, something many fans have been waiting for as they enjoy either breakfast or dinner at this popular character dining location in Disney's Contemporary Resort.
