This train has not yet left the station! Due to popular demand, our special exhibition All Aboard: A Celebration of Walt’s Trains has been extended to run through March 15, 2015. Guests now have extra time to check out more than 200 artifacts, firsthand accounts, archival videos, images, and model trains running throughout the show. Celebrate the origin of Walt's passion for trains, which developed long before manifesting itself in Disney short cartoons, feature films, at Disney Parks & Resorts, and in Walt's personal life at home.
While you're here, don’t miss the special Family Activity Area, located on the second floor of the Diane Disney Miller Special Exhibition Hall. The immersive, hands-on All Aboard Family Activity Area is for families and children of all ages, and is made possible with the generous support of Lionel, LLC.
