Magic Kingdom's Train Station Refurbishment: More Walls Removed, Work Continues

Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street U.S.A. Station Refurbishment - March, 2025
Posted: Wednesday March 12, 2025 9:36am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Refurbishment work continues at the Main Street U.S.A. Railroad Station in Magic Kingdom, with some visible progress in recent weeks. More construction walls have been removed, though some sections of the station remain behind barriers.

Crews are currently working on replacing the concrete flooring on the upper level. While the stairs to the upper platform remain open, only a small portion of the area is accessible to guests.




Despite the ongoing work, the train station continues to operate as normal, with the Walt Disney World Railroad making its regular stops throughout the park.


No timeline has been provided for when the remaining barriers will be removed or when the project will be completed.

Update: it is now back open for the 4th of July Fireworks (I.e Celebrate America) but closes at 9:30 PM before the first Starlight performance tonight. I’m sure it still serves for public fireworks viewing for Happily Ever After.

VIP Tours. And in more recent months the balcony is also closed for fireworks viewing in my experience.

Anybody but common peasants like you and me apparently! Haha. I mentioned how they rope off the entrance to the station with no signage that the train station itself is still open and how to access it. I witnessed a family trying to get on the train who went up the exit ramp, who were scolded by a CM - the same CM who could have simply opened the gate and let them on the train - it was still boarding and there was plenty of room.

Does anyone know who the train station is reserved for during starlight? Sometimes it's even left empty.

No wonder there was so much security! They have to guard those sweaters!!! l

Yeah big VIP event, plus D'Amaro and others from word that was going around.

I know it was opening night of starlight but they had almost all entrances to the station blocked off while the train was still operating. No signage on how to get to the station. A poor family went up the exit ramp and they were scolded by a CM who could have easily let them on the train. There was plenty of room and it was still boarding.

The benches are gone. Maybe that's temporary. But, I've witnessed people camping them two hours before fireworks so they can have a seat for the show.

Well, I’m not there. I refuse to accept that WDW continues to function without me. They just lock the gates, I believe.

The DJ ????

No... Something missing...

When it's wet that tile is really slippery?

Complaints would indeed come from them, but not necessarily about the view of Starlight.
