NEWS: A Fan-Favorite Tour Is Returning SOON at Disneyland Resort

The beautiful thing about visiting Disneyland is that it’s a chance to walk through Disney history.

Disneyland Railroad

You can walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and see Walt Disney’s apartment, which sits above the fire department. You can ride attractions that opened with Disneyland in 1955. You can dine at restaurants Walt once stepped foot in. You can also ride the Disneyland Railroad, which just might have been one of Walt’s favorite rides (he loved trains). However, you’ll soon be able to get a tour of the Disneyland Railroad train, which includes a chance to ride in the Lilly Belle, a special car named for Lillian Disney, because that tour is returning SOON.

The Disneyland Railroad Tour will be returning as of March 21st, and reservations are available NOW on the Disneyland website. This tour is $145 per person (plus tax) for everyone over the age of 3 and includes a 90-minute tour where you’ll learn all about the Disneyland Railroad PLUS get to ride inside the exclusive Lilly Belle part of the train.

The tour also includes a sweet treat, a walk through the park learning all about how Walt created his ideas concerning the Disneyland Railroad, a tour of the Disneyland Park roundhouse, a meeting with a train engineer, a special keepsake, and a ride around the park inside the Lilly Belle.

Lilly Belle Interior

The Lilly Belle is the last remaining train car from Disneyland’s opening day. In 1976, it was converted into an exclusive car that only a select few could see and ride in. Lillian Disney herself played a large role in decorating the car — you’ll even find some of her own photographs and family belongings inside it. In 2006, the car was officially named “Lilly Belle.” This tour is one of the few ways to see it — and take a ride in it.

If you want to learn more about this classic Disneyland attraction, the Disneyland Railroad Tour is a must. Book now on the Disneyland website. Note that you will still need a valid park ticket and a park pass reservation on the date of your tour, and you’ll need to check in at least 15 minutes before the tour starts at the Tour Gardens on Main Street, U.S.A.
