The narrow gauge icon of Magic Kingdom Park has been in the midst of a multi-year closure due to the extended construction of the TRON: Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster in Tomorrowland, and it looks like the closure will continue to last well into the New Year.

According to the Disney World website, the Park hours calendar shows The Walt Disney World Railroad still listed as “Temporarily Unavailable” as far into the future as January 19, 2023. A deeper look at the Railroad’s webpage also shows that it will remain closed for at least another two months from now.
