"cool experience " 13 years ago by Rwilliams

Despite the fact that I'm not a train buff I really enjoyed the Magic Behind Our Steam Trains tour. It was very informative and our tour guide Lisa was great! I think it would be a great tour for any Disney fan and particularly those with an interest in trains. I think it might be a little bit below someone with an extensive steam train knowledge base but the Disney history would hopefully be enough to keep a serious train fanatic interested. The tour does go over the basic workings of the rails and steam trains specifically so those with a lot of knowledge in that area may get a bit bored during those portions. It was a very informative and entertaining tour, I recommend it.

"Great tour for train buffs" 18 years ago by moemoe55

I took this tour many years ago. You have to arrive at the MK very early. I believe we saw sun rise. You learn the history behaind the trains and how much of a train buff Walt Disney was. Going into the train sheds where they are stored and repaired was facinating. When I did the tour pins weren't all the rage. We received an actual railroad spike. Very cool until I forgot about it and tried to get it through airport security in my carryon. Needless to say I no longer have the spike. And this was before 9/11. I'm glad they switched to pins.

If you dont mind getting up at the crack of dawn this is a great tour. Dont forget that you get a cool pin for this tour! Only major problem is getting to MK at 7:30. Usually Disney Transport isnt running that early. I took a yellow cab. Hint: Tell the cabbie that you want to go to the conteporary, if not they will try to drop you off at the TTC.

Venture into the Magic Kingdom before the Park opens, and accompany the railroad engineers as they ready the massive steam trains for another day.

Visit the backstage roundhouse where the trains are stored and serviced, and ride the rails as you explore how Walt Disney's lifetime love of steam trains led to their becoming an integral part of the Magic Kingdom Park. All aboard!
