TTC Magic Kingdom Parking Lot Trams December 2020
Posted: Thursday December 2, 2021 5:12pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has this evening announced that parking trams will be returning to service at the Walt Disney World theme parks in a phased reopening.

Magic Kingdom parking lot trams will resume later in December 2021, with the other parks seeing a return throughout 2022. 


The trams have been out of service at all four Walt Disney World theme parks since they reopened in July 2020 due to physical distancing requirements and labor shortages. Guests are required to walk from their cars to the main entrances.

Lack of tram service has been a source of a great deal of guest complaints, and even reached late night TV with Stephen Colbert mocking Disney for not proving the service to its guests.

For my friends that live on the east coast near Wildwood, NJ. WATCH THE TRAM CAR PLEASE!!!

Funny thing is preferred parking where the trams don't stop is $50, but regular parking with trams is $25 for those that actually pay that and the trams at Epcot really only need to service the Rocket and Gamora lots. Everywhere is pretty useless.

We can change that - up charges are our favorite thing, especially for stuff that used to be free.

Welp, there goes a chunk of the $60B budget.

Better late than never I guess. But terrible it couldn't have happened during any of the heat waves.

I’ve seen they are also running at Epcot today.

Ridiculous.

I heard they are stuck somewhere with training the new employees. They keep trying to move on, but the employees just keep going in circles and more circles.
