Hey there! My family is planning a trip to go back to the magic kingdom and we are about to book a room at the wonderful Alpine Inn. I was just wondering if the Lion King tram is still operating. Thanks!

There is no guarantee that the Lion King Tram will be running.

It is only operated if Disney feels the need to open up the Timon Lot for parking.

And many off-season days (especially weekdays) it is never opened (and no trams).

Also some days the Timon parking lot is reserved for special events, many of whom don't use the tram, as they enter through a back gate into DCA to access the Hyperion or other facilities (Stage 12 is popular).

Then on the days that they do decide to open the lot to the public, usually it is not open early in the day, a typical opening time in the summer was 10 AM, so no trams running until 10 AM. Once the Timon lot is opened, then trams will run the rest of the day until around 1 hour after park closing.

So don't plan on it running.
