Frontierland Station at Magic Kingdom
Frontierland Station is a great place to catch the train at Magic Kingdom. You might experience a few rides in the area, like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Haunted Mansion, then hop on the train to a new destination. For reference, the Walt Disney World Railroad has three stops:
- Frontierland Station
- Fantasyland Station
- Main Street U.S.A.
You can board the train or exit at any of these stops. Each train travels 1.5 miles around Magic Kingdom Park and stops at each station every few minutes. After boarding the train, you can stay on for as long as you like.
A separate ramp is available for guests with a wheelchair or ECV. Guests must be able to transfer to a wheelchair to board the train. Guests with ECVs will have to leave them at the station. Therefore, you must return to the station you initially boarded to retrieve it. Additionally, strollers must be broken down to board the train. If you have a stroller that doesn’t fold, you’ll have to leave it in a designated stroller parking area while you ride the train.
Disney’s trains hold a large number of guests (up to 365). Along the way, there are many sights to see, including narration. While traveling through Frontierland, you’ll get a peek at Big Thunder Mountain after you leave the station. You’ll also encounter a few scenes of times past when traveling through this neck of the woods. We have used the train for many different reasons in the past. Sometimes, we head to Tomorrowland when we first enter the park. But we will take the train around the entire park just for fun. Other times, we’ll grab a soda and ride around to take a break.
Overall, the Walt Disney World Railroad is a must-do for many. While it’s not necessarily exciting, children and not-so-adventurous guests love this kind of attraction. I can’t stress enough how much you’ll enjoy a train ride around the Magic Kingdom. Plus, everyone has a point where they need to take a break. So, riding the train is an excellent way to get a little rest.
