In response to the pandemic, Disney shuttered its parks four months. When the parks reopened, the trams remained unavailable.
It also marks the first time in three years that the trams have been operational at all four Disney World parks. Magic Kingdom brought back trams in December 2021 and Disney’s Animal Kingdom followed in May 2022.
The lack of tram service has been a constant source of criticism from park visitors who were left only with the option of walking to and from their vehicles—often in the hot summer months.
