By this point in the vast knowledgebase that contains the
history of Walt Disney World, we have all heard of the railroad that ran
through Fort Wilderness once upon a time. The railroad, which ran regularly
from 1973 through 1977, has been a memory of the bygone days for several
decades. Of course, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t enough photographs and
postcards out there to keep our appetite for the stream train through the
wilderness satiated.
One thing that we don’t see very often is the tickets that
booked a guest’s passage aboard the train. Mickey conducting the train in his
Davy Crockett outfit is the perfect symbol of all things Fort Wilderness in the
1970’s. And that price? .50 cents for the round trip! What wouldn’t we pay in
this day and age to have that opportunity one last time.

Does anyone know why they stopped running the train? Just too expensive?
