PHOTOS, VIDEO: Trams Return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom After 801 Days

Disney’s Animal Kingdom parking lot trams are back in service after 801 days.

Tram service was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It returned to Magic Kingdom in December 2021.

Cast Members held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the return of trams to Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom opens at 7:30 a.m. right now, but tram service did not begin until 9:00 a.m.

We saw the green tram but ended up boarding the red tram.

Trams pick up guests near their parking spots and then transport them to the entrance of the park, or vice-versa.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a wide parking lot so it’s nice to be able to hop on a tram instead of walking.

Tram service will return to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios later this year, but exact return dates have not been announced.

Do you prefer to take the tram or walk at Walt Disney World parking lots? Let us know in the comments.
