Rail transport in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts can be found in every theme park resort property owned or licensed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The inclusion of transport by rail in its parks began on July 17, 1955, with the opening of the original Disneyland (a key component of the Disneyland Resort) in California, and has since spread to other parts of the world with the opening of Walt Disney World in Florida, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and Shanghai Disney Resort. Each Disney theme park resort has a rail transport system serving its general resort area, whether it's a monorail system or a conventional rail system. Several Disney park resort properties contain theme parks that feature genuine steam-powered railroads. Additional Disney resort rail systems resemble steam-powered railroads, but their locomotives are powered by internal combustion engines. Other rail transport modes found in Disney parks include horse-drawn streetcar rail lines, as well as replica vintage electric rail lines. The Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chain of theme parks is the largest on the planet by annual attendance, and its rail systems play key roles as modes of transportation and as attractions for its visitors.
