The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad (HKDLRR) is a narrow gauge railroad at Hong Kong Disneyland. It opened together with the park on September 12, 2005. The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad is the first attraction seen when entering the park. The train transports guests around the park which is also known as the "Grand Circle Tour."

Trains

The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad has two passenger trains and three locomotives:

• Walter E. Disney - This train is named after Walt Disney, the founder of The Walt Disney Company. It also has 5 cars which are named after cities in California, namely Anaheim, Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles, and California.
• Roy O. Disney - This train is named after Roy O. Disney, the brother of Walt Disney and the co-founder of The Walt Disney Company. It also has 5 cars namely Chicago, Marceline, Kansas City, Hollywood, and Orlando.
• Frank G. Wells – This train is named after Frank Wells, who was president of the Walt Disney company between 1984 and 1994. Since it doesn’t have any assigned passenger cars, it serves as a backup locomotive to the other two trains.

Journey

Just right after the train departs Main Street Station with a recorded narration commenting on visited landscapes, the train travels through Adventureland and the Rivers of the Jungle River Cruise.

Then the train arrives in Fantasyland and makes a stop at the Fantasyland Station. The train now departs Fantasyland Station with guests given a view of Fantasy Gardens, Mad Hatter Tea Cups, the walkway to It's a Small World, and travels underneath the queue line of The Golden Mickeys.

Now, guests arrive in Tomorrowland where they view Space Mountain and the some of the tracks of Autopia. It later shows the showbuilding of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters with audio-animatronics of the Little Green Men viewing the guests.

After, the train finally arrives back at the Main Street Station.
