I had heard that people could ride on the Lilly Belle during the Year of a Million Dreams at Disneyland; however, I was never able to on my two trips during that time frame. When my family and I went to Disneyland last week, I half-heartedly asked at the Guided Tours kiosk if we could ride the Lilly Belle. The guide told us to go ask the conductor at the Main Street Station. We climbed the stairs and approached the conductor at the turnstile. He went to a small office and came back telling us to be there by 4:30 pm. We were so excited! We kept a close eye on the watch and arrived about 30 minutes early. We were surprised to find that a family that we were going to meet up with later also had the same ride time, so we quickly became acquainted before our trip. As the train arrived, we felt the excitement increase! Our conductor came and got the 4 groups that were scheduled for the same trip. The Lilly Belle can hold 14 guests on each trip. A conductor has to be on the car for the entire trip unless the guests are Club 33 members. If it is raining, Disneyland does not take passengers on the Lilly Belle to preserve her condition. We had such a wonderful trip! I hope that you enjoy the photos and that you can take a trip on her soon, too.
