Parking trams resume service at Walt Disney World's Transportation and Ticket Center serving Magic Kingdom

Parking trams have returned to service today at the the Transportation and Ticket Center which serves as the parking lot for Magic Kingdom.

Service will resume at the other parks during 2022, but Disney has not announced any specific dates or timeframes.


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.

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.
