Disneyland is getting some new updates!

Disneyland Train Station

In case you missed it, one of the most iconic Disneyland attractions is getting some major updates right now. While we wait to see the dinosaurs roam again, Disney also revealed that even more updates are coming to the famous ride!

Disneyland is rebuilding a train station building in New Orleans Square! This building was severely damaged more than three years ago because of an after-hours fire. According to the Orange County Register, Disney was issued a permit by the City of Anaheim to rebuild the radio house, which was previously an employee breakroom.

The fire first occurred in 2022, but the building wasn’t demolished until 2025. The permit details a 357-square-foot building that will have new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems inside it. It will once again be an employee breakroom and restroom. Disneyland officials have confirmed it will look similar to the previous building.

The new building will have an ADA-compliant pathway that will go over the train tracks for Cast Members to access the breakroom, according to Disneyland officials. The office previously played a continuous morse code message that was Walt Disney’s opening day dedication speech from 1955.

This isn’t the only work going on with the Disneyland Railroad. In Tomorrowland, the famous scene in the ride that takes you back to the time of the Dinosaurs is also getting a big overhaul. The scene, which contains animatronic dinosaurs, is currently covered up with some stand-in cutouts in place.
