All aboard Casey Jr. Circus Train for a “mini” tour of the fairytale homes and villages made famous in classic Disney animated movies.
Hop inside a festive animal cage or ornate sleigh and follow brave engine Casey Jr.—from the classic Disney animated movie Dumbo—on a journey through Storybook Land. As you gracefully make your way over hills and through valleys, behold a brilliant tapestry of familiar settings from classic Disney movies amazingly rendered in miniature scale.
During your train ride, be on the look-out for these famous sites:
- Cozy straw, stick and brick houses from Three Little Pigs
- English village from Alice in Wonderland
- Manicured London park from Peter Pan
- Royal city of Agrabah and Cave of Wonders from Aladdin
- The Dwarf’s cottage from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
- French countryside village and mountaintop castle from Cinderella
- The Giant’s patchwork quilt from Lullaby Land
- Toad Hall from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
- Alpine village from Pinocchio
- Prince Eric’s palace and King Triton’s underwater castle from The Little Mermaid
Along the way, Casey Jr. faces his biggest challenge: a seemingly impossible hill. Will Casey Jr. find the courage and strength to carry you over the incline to the next destination? Do you “think he can”?
