  I actually never got to ride this until I was in my 20s. And I've gone to Disneyland my whole life. I loved it ever since. Such a fun and balanced ride for children and adults alike. Its one of my go to night rides. Its more magical at night.

  According to the The Little Engine That Could trains in Walter Elias Disney’s classic, Dumbo, my top favorite character from Walter Elias Disney’s classic, Dumbo turned out to be Casey Junior/Casey Jones Junior the male North American 2-4-0 standard-gauge steamer tender engine locomotive that turned out to be the leader of the North American Walter Elias Disney Productions Medici Brothers’ circus train. He decided to chant “I think I can,” and “I thought I could,” over the big hill mountain when he decided to go reach the Joplin, Missouri town. To work that out, his job was to work the railroad day shift and the railroad night shift in order to move the North American Walter Elias Disney Productions Medici Brothers’ Circus out on a journey to go run all the way from the North American Florida Winter Headquarters within the land of the North American US sunshine state, Florida to the far up north town of Joplin, Missouri within the North American United States of America North America country during the 20th century year, 1919 in the 20th century, and along the way, he went through the North American railroad train tunnels in order to go through the North American mountains and the North American hill mountains so that he would not make crashes into the North American mountains and the North American hill mountains, and he had to go cross the North American railroad train bridges in order to cross the North American rivers so that he would not fall down into the North American rivers below the North American railroad train bridges, and he pulled his heavy load up the big hill mountain by chanting “I think I can,” all over and all over again and he went down the big hill mountain by chanting “I thought I could,” all over and all over again when he reached the top part of the big hill mountain, and he tooted his steamer train engine locomotive whistle with happiness joy, and most of all, he gave me permission to be reminded of Tillie the female North American 4-2-4 Standard-Gauge Little Blue Switch Steamer Train Engine Locomotive from the 1930 North American folk fairytale, The Little Engine That Could, and he chugged toward his destination that turned out to be the first up north town of Joplin, Missouri that was outside the North American Florida Winter Headquarters and outside the big hill mountain when he left the big hill mountain behind, and he chugged onward and onward to the Joplin, Missouri town and he turned his baseball-cap-shaped headlight off, and he fell asleep in order to get his good night sleep as a bigger reward for pulling his heavy load over the big hill mountain when he finally got to the Joplin, Missouri town and arrived in the Joplin, Missouri town on his schedule date. He has been to be completely better than Dumbo’s big ears and he has been my responsibility to have the confidence to the The Little Engine That Could trains and he has been my responsibility to the trains that work the railroad day shift and the railroad night shift. The word song lyrics to the Casey Junior song in Walter Elias Disney’s classic, Dumbo turned out to be “Casey Junior’s comin’ down the track, comin’ down the track with a smokey stack. Hear him puffin’ comin’ ‘round the hill, Casey’s here to thrill every Jack and Jill. Every time his funny little whistle sounds (Toot!-Toot!), everybody hurries to the circus grounds. Time for lemonade and cracker jack. Casey Junior’s back, Casey Junior’s back.”

  I know this is a kiddie ride, but good lord do I love it. As a lifelong aficionado of miniature trains, there's something oh-so-magical about the Casey Jr. Circus Train at Disneyland! One of Walt's very favorite attractions, not much has changed over the years - and that's just the way us Disney purists like it! Located in a tucked away corner of Fantasyland, there always seems to be a line for this ride. The queue area is very small, and they sort of pack you into a very tiny area before boarding. This leads to some unnecessary and uncomfortable pushing and shoving, especially as people jockey for the best seats: arguably, the caboose and the monkey cage. Be aware that if you or your child has their heart set on a particular car, you need to shove to get to it. But don't be a jerk: if you arrived after someone else, let them have first pick, please (I speak from years and years of personal disappointment)! The train ride is long and fun, and includes a tunnel and all sorts of stuff to look at. Not only do you get beautiful vistas of the park, but the track rides along the same path of the Storybookland Boats. It's easier for Pooh-sized or ADA folks to enjoy the same scenes on the train versus the boat, just FYI. The open-air train ride takes you through enchanted Disney "homes," like miniature versions of Alice in Wonderland's house, Elsa's ice palace, Belle's village, and more. The Imagineers have outdone themselves here in terms of landscaping, choosing plants that look like mini trees! It's just so pretty. I recommend riding this at night, when the lights are twinkling. Even when I'm at Disneyland solo, I always make a point to ride this ride. And guess what? I'm usually not alone! There are still so many miniature train enthusiasts around, and we love a good train. This one is one of the best! If I ever became a cast member at Disneyland, I'd go to battle to get a job driving the Casey Jr. Circus Train!

  An underrated and enjoyable Disneyland classic. I love that Casey Jr gets to serve as his own ride. One of the best rides for young children and fans of Dumbo. That said, personally I prefer the Storybook Land Canal Boats because that ride is longer and gives a better look at the miniatures. But the kinetic energy of this ride is an essential part in making Storybook Land as great as it is.
