Why is the Disney World train closed?

The Walt Disney World Railroad, which has transported guests around the Magic Kingdom since opening day in 1971, shut down in December 2018 for construction on the yet-unopened TRON roller coaster. Just before Christmas 2022, the railroad finally reopened for peak holiday crowds and is now running daily once again.
