Disney World is going through some serious changes.
Walt Disney World Railroad train
From restaurants to hotels to rides, there are plenty of updates, new experiences, and more coming to The Most Magical Place on Earth. One beloved Magic Kingdom attraction has been closed since 2018 thanks to the construction on TRON. But with TRON slated to open in spring 2023, we’re seeing more progress there too — and we heard something VERY exciting in the park today!
We’ve seen some pretty exciting updates from around Disney World lately, like a big construction milestone at Journey of Water and TRON testing with weighted dummies. The Walt Disney World Railroad has had some major progress too — today, we spotted it pulling into the Fantasyland Station. But — that wasn’t even the most EXCITING part of our day.

Later, we saw the train chug its way through the tunnel that runs under TRON!

We decided to get a closer look over near TRON, and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED! We heard TRON music playing near the attraction! How exciting is that? This is the first time we’ve heard music playing at the ride. You can hear it in the video below if you listen closely!
