Not happy BTM and the Train are closed over Christmas... Would have thought seeing as the park is rammed over that time they would be running everything...

The park is rammed over Christmas, I was there Christmas Eve , Christmas Day 2013 and it was heaving. Saying that though, one one of the days only Main Street Station was open, ie that was the only place you could get on the train, all the other stations were exit only.
It is to be expected they are trying to refurb the major attractions by April 2017 as that is their 25th anniversary so want it looking fresh for then and it will reduce the closures for that year, it was the same for 2011 when they were preparing for the 20th anniversary
My friend was going to visit next year to celebrate her 50th but decide to push it back a year, mainly because of the closures, she decided she'd rather wait and see the 25th celebrations the following year.
We decided back in 2012 we would be extremely sensible and use our heads, not our hearts and wouldn't visit again until 2017 ..... however if you've got a trip planned for next year, don't get too despondent about the closures however disapponting it is, you'll still have a fantastic time ..... after all, you're at Disney!

It says Disneyrailroad including Main Street Station, so that means all stations are closed, no trains running. I have seen photos and read trip reports from people there in the last few weeks. There are no trains running and Main Street Station is all boarded up, with scaffolding and construction workers working there.
Any idea how long the scaffolding will be up around Main Street station? It takes the shine off the entrance a bit will it be up right up to next September do you think?

Oh that's sad what about when the list reduces to just Main Street and discovery land station - will the train be running the full loop do you think just not stopping at those stations?

I doubt it, as how can you do major refub work with a train passing through the station every few minutes. Think about it logically, if they are doing such a major refub they must be redoing the tracks, and alot of repair work which can not be done during normal maintenance when the train is running. It would not be safe for the workers OR guests on the train to have the train going through the closed stations
Yeah I agree I just thought that maybe the major engineering works would take place whilst the whole railroad was closed and then when the schedule dropped down to individual stations it would be more asthetic work taking place in which case maybe the train could pass through? I don't understand why they would list the railroad as being closed till January only if in actual fact it's really closed till September? Either way I'll keep my fingers crossed for our trip
