To the Roundhouse!


Recently Jesse and I landed a backstage tour of the Walt Disney World Railroad where we visited the roundhouse, learned the history of the steam trains at Magic Kingdom Park,  how the steam trains function / operate 365 days a year for 12+ hours each day and lastly learned of Walt's love for steam trains and the influence they had on his life.  After all Mickey mouse was created on a train, and we all know where the world would be if this did not happen...

We arrived to the Magic Kingdom early to begin the tour.  It made for some awesome photo opportunities with a Florida sunrise:

Roommates!


They let us into the train cab! We really are just grown up kids:





The tour was a lot of fun and a good way to spend a day off!  Over the summer we will be going on many more backstage tours.  We just completed one at the Horticulture center which will be posted soon.
