Casey Jr Circus Train

I haven’t been on this ride in like over 10 years i think so I don’t remember anything about this ride except for riding in the cage car. This is a fun relaxing ride although now being an adult and trying to squeeze in the seat was kinda tough lol. As a kid back in day i think i rode this maybe twice I don’t know why i never rode this ride more often. Anyways another relaxing ride i like at Disneyland.

I rode the Casey Jr. Circus Train in Disneyland (Anaheim, CA) on 11/​11/​2015. It’s a fun ride. Plus, I took photos.

In general, I am a fan of the classic Disneyland rides. I like the new rides, too, and they do tend to be faster, more of a thrill, but there is something simple and nostalgic about the old school ones that keep me coming back for me. But only because I have little kids. If I was just coming by myself, I’d skip Casey Jr. and probably many of the other rides in Fantasyland.
The line tends to be (look) long for this ride, because there is just one train that runs (technically they have 2, but I’ve never been in the park when more than 1 is running) and so you have to wait for the whole ride duration to make any movement. But, quite a few people get on each train, so when the line moves, t moves a lot.
The ride duration is long, worth a 15 minute wait. My kids love the song and waving to the boats below.

5 star for toddlers, 1 – 2 stars for the rest of us.
The cages you ride in are super squished and awkward for everyone who is not four. The ride itself is kind of boring on its own. Not as boring as Storybook but boring all the same.
It’s saving grace is its toddler friendly, adobable, original ride atmosphere. The line is short because everyone knows its Blah. Blah. BLAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
If you have wussy kids or 3 year olds this is for you. Go on something else If you want thrill. The reason its not in the cellar is because I had some memories on It. It used to be so much fun. I salute you.

The train ride is pretty neat. Wonderfully decorated and colorful! The cages make for a good photo –op. Kids go wild for trains. Just like Carousels… trains and carousels. My niece enjoyed this very much. Will be back:)

I cannot believe that I grew up in LA and have visited Disneyland countless times, and yet I haven’t been on this ride. My son LOVED it. My son was singing the theme song for quite a while after the ride concluded! It’s cute for adults as well. The train itself is cute and spacious. The «cages» are a bit awkward for adults to get into, but it’s what my son chose for us. The scenes the train travels through are miniature and cute. Overall the line moved fairly fast — there is only one train, but because it’s less popular of a ride, we did not have to wait long.
I love the discover of Casy Jr Circus Train for us, and we’ll be headed for this ride on our next visit.

I had never been on Casey Jr’s Circus Train before so we decided to ride it twice when it wasn’t busy. The best time to ride is at night so that you get a view of the entire park lit up. You also ride by Storybook land so you can see the boats and if you are lucky, you might catch the fireworks as well. Unfortunately, the night we rode it, the fireworks were cancelled due to windy conditions. It’s still a great ride to bring the younger kids on.

Love this ride, even before we had our son (was a fan of it), who, for the first time, last thursday (⁹⁄₁₈), got to ride it, and was more intrigued by the other ride (storybook) overseeing all the miniature homes along the water, one with a windmill, one with a wheel; beautiful scenery and the landscaping is just gorgeous (so green, so lush, carefully manicured– I can see why he was distracted). The wait wasn’t so bad, but underneath the blistering heat, maybe seemed longer? When we finally got our chance, we chose a train car with shade (animal cages). It’s a fun ride, making adults feel like kids again. Went by fast. Had fun some while it lasted, though.
The real challenge was, trying to explain to our little guy, that we were leaving one ride to go ride another. I’m sure that we’ll be back and this ride will be on our agenda, too.

This is a fun little ride. Not worth waiting in a long line for, but as long as it’s not more than a 15 minute wait, go ahead and check this out.

A colorful little circus train chugging along around the Storybook Land area, with the Casey Jr. song from «Dumbo» playing all the way through. It’s cute, I’ll admit I like sitting in the cage instead of the open-​air cars (I guess it’s fun to ride when you aren’t actually a circus elephant or a cow going to a slaughterhouse, etc. You’re welcome for the free bring down). I actually enjoy seeing the Storybook Land models this way vs. the boats; you don’t hear the descriptions, but in a way, you get a better view, plus you circle them a couple times. Better than the Disneyland Railroad because there’s more speed and the view is more interesting, although when you stop you’re exactly where you started (does anyone use the DR for transportation anyway?). Three stars because I’m not tempted to ride it regularly; it’s probably more fun if you’re a kid, but it was still nice to go on for the first time in years.

Take the train. No, really, take the train! On busier days you will find there are more than one train on the tracks but even on the busiest of days the line doesn’t take very long. It loads faster than you think.
Of course most want to travel in the animal cages — adults and kids alike but it can be just as fun in the open cars and the caboose. Listen closely as you climb the hill. I thought everyone heard it but some do miss it.
Ride this before or after you ride the Storybook boats. This way you can see all things you may have missed.

Another low rider capacity ride… usually only one train on the track: ridiculous. Great ride for the little ones and adults too. PLEEZE add another train !!!

This is the train ride from Dumbo movie.
The ride is not that long, pretty fun.
but it’s not worth the wait if the line gets pretty long.
Sit inside the cage, it’s a great feeling to the be «monkeys».
Overall, I will give this a 4 stars.

I have to say that I have been to Disneyland at least once a year since I was born. I have had several annual passes over the years, and I never remember riding Casey Jr. Circus Train until this last year. This last year I took my 3 year old nephew to Disneyland at least once or twice month. Every time we have gone, we could not go home until we rode his favorite Casey Jr.
It’s an adorable little train located next to Dumbo. If you know the movie, Casey Jr. is the train that transported the circus the Dumbo and his mother Mrs. Jumbo was a part of. On the ride, the Casey Jr. song from the movie is played. My nephew knows this song well, and sings it during the ride. He likes it so much that he constantly asks me to play the video of the song on YouTube. The train drives around the little villages of the Storybook Land Canal Boats. A wonderful part of the ride is the «I think I can» little hill that Casey Jr. conquers. I know that many children have their favorite cars to ride on the train. For my nephew it was always the caboose. It’s a fun ride, and I have the best memories over this year with my nephew on this ride.

Cute little Dumbo train ride that takes you through Storybook Land. My husband loves sitting in the caboose and my daugher loves sitting in the animal cages, so we always just take turns with each visit. The line can be deceiving so although the line may seem shorter than lines for Dumbo and Peter Pan, it moves much slower because of the one train. I don’t know why they took away the second train. It moved so much faster with it running.
Between my daughter and my husband, we will definitely be back…

Casey Jr Circus Train coming down the track, coming down the track… Based on the train from the 1941 classic «Dumbo» Casey Jr Circus Train is a fun ride for adults and kids alike. The cars are a little small for adults but that may be part of it’s charm.

My kids love this ride. I like it because I can put them in the monkey cage, ha ha ha.
I enjoy the tour of the Storybook Canal and the little models of Disney classic locations. The music for the ride is catchy and the train does pick up some speed. I especially enjoy the part where the train is chugging up the hill, it struggles, reaches the high point and cruises down the hill. Choo choo!
If you have little kids and they enjoy trains, make sure to make a train stop here.

Not good for someone who’s claustrophobic like me. Eek! I freaked out when they put me in a cage. I barely fitted in there plus I had a friend with me.
Nice ride around the Storyland Boat Canal but not worth it for me. Line is decent since not a lot of people go on it. Kiddies will love it though.

This ride is under rated… my kids and I luv it… hubby barely fits in the monkey cage… haha…i gotta post a pic of him getting out of it.
its the train ride that most people pass on by in fantasy land. next time stop and give it a try

Casey Jr. comin’ down the track…
This is one of those amazing Fantasyland attractions that would be so much better with a little bit shorter line.
After waiting in line you board a really cute small train. You get to sit in either the regular train cars (that fit about 2 people per car) or you get to sit in one of the circus «cages». Why would you not want to sit in the circus cage? That is just too cool.
The ride itself lasts a few minutes and takes you on a nice little tour of Fantasyland and the Storybook Canal. There is one part of the ride when the train struggles to make it up a hill and then glides down the hill on the other side.
The total best view in my opinion is the back seat… you actually face backwards so you get a really fun point of view of the whole trip.
And the train has a totally catchy song to go along with it. You know… Disneyland is known for those catchy tunes… just visit Small World for proof.
