All aboard as we celebrate the timeless charm of the Disneyland Railroad, an attraction that has been circling the Park since Opening Day in 1955! Conceived by Walt Disney himself, the railroad was inspired by his backyard miniature train, the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, and became a centerpiece of Disneyland’s grand opening. Discover the history of animated trains from early film to CGI animated classics. After, you will pick up steam as we use hand-drawn 2D animation principles to create your own locomotive-inspired sequence of a happy train conductor passing by the station!
