Magic Kingdom Refurbishments

The train in the Magic Kingdom has not been making its grand-circle tour around the park for over three years now, and the closure is set to continue into the next week.

The extended closure is due to construction on the new roller coaster TRON: Lightcycle Run in Tomorrowland, as a portion of the train track is currently blocked. But, while guests can’t currently hop onboard, the Walt Disney World Railroad has reportedly been testing, so you might hear that familiar horn when you’re visiting!

And, another continuing closure this week is over at EPCOT in the Morocco Pavilion. The small shop located near World Showcase Lagoon called Souk-al-Magreb has been closed for some time now, and it will be long before it is back in business once again.

Disney’s refurbishment calendar currently lists the store as reopening on February 6th, 2022.
