MK Welcome Show

[lyndeah]

Did they change the welcome show at Magic Kingdom? We just got back and we have not been to the welcome show in years so we went this time and there was NO train with Mickey and friends this time?

Maybe they are practicing how they will do it when the train is closed for refurb starting in September?

Phew, okay I didn't miss it, I just ignored it because it was outside my dates.

There are many different versions of the MK Welcome show.
There are days (due to personnel or technical issues) when they don't do the "full version" of the Welcome.

The train is often the first thing that gets cut when they do an abbreviated Welcome show.

(And, yes, the train will be fully out of the shows during its refurb time.)

Yeah, it's not an official change, it's just that day they did a truncated version that they sometimes do (I've been lucky enough to never witness such a thing though). When I was there in May the full show ran, train and all.
