You’ve probably heard about the tunnels beneath Magic Kingdom in Disney World. You’ve maybe even heard of the tunnels in EPCOT.
Frontierland
But we just learned about a SECRET tunnel in Disneyland that leads to absolutely nowhere, and we had to share!
Former Imagineer Bob Gurr recently shared a video on Instagram that shows off a hidden tunnel in Frontierland. You can find it when you’re in Fantasyland heading over towards Galaxy’s Edge. Now, most will not spot it since it is quite hidden and the area doesn’t have anything that would draw your eyes towards it. But those of you who have noticed it might have wondered what that tunnel does and where it leads!
Now, as Bob describes, this tunnel didn’t always lead to nowhere. For years, a train ran through it that went around Big Thunder Mountain (before it was Big Thunder). That attraction was called the Mine Train through Nature’s Wonderland. It featured all sorts of lifelike animals like bears and wildcats. It was later removed to make way for Big Thunder Mountain.

So, it has been years since anything has run through the tunnel and now it just sits empty. There isn’t really a use for it, but it doesn’t make sense to get rid of it either. Therefore, there is just a small tunnel that leads to nowhere hidden in Disneyland. Keep your eyes peeled for it the next time you’re there and let us know if you can spot it!

I once saw quite a bit of the Magic Kingdom tunnels, maybe all of them!
VERY roughly 20 years ago, paid Magic Kingdom tours were available that included touring backstage areas. I was so glad that I took advantage of that opportunity.
