The top 10 new rides and attractions coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2023. Plus, what you might not like about the return of Walt Disney World Railroad to the Magic Kingdom and long-awaited news from Chef Mickey.
Show Notes
Walt Disney World Railroad is Back...with an All-New Voiceover
The WDW railroad was an original opening-day attraction in 1971 and it's back with a completely refreshed track and another new surprise...one you may or may not like.
Walt Disney Imagineering introduced a new 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?
