There are rides that you just have to go on when you visit the Disney Parks.
Cinderella Castle
Whether it be the most popular ride in the park, or an underrated favorite, we’ve all got those must-do attractions. Today, one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom is down.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a classic Disney attraction, and even though it’s had some touch-ups over the years, things happen! It is currently down and Cast Members are standing around it.

We’ve seen this ride get super long wait times, especially as crowds start to return to the parks. The parks are even at capacity today!
