⛲️ One Rail to Rule Them All

Ride the Rail: City documents show the monorail running from KCI to the KC Zoo & Aquarium, with stops in the Northland, downtown, and more. The plan also includes electric shuttle buses that connect stations to nearby neighborhoods, a regional transportation hub at Union Station, a streetcar extension to 18th & Vine, and affordable housing along the corridor.

Tax Time: On April 6th, 2027, voters will decide on a new 1/4-cent sales tax and a 40-year extension of the existing 3/8-cent bus sales tax, which currently expires in 2033. The new 1/4-cent tax would also run for 40 years. A yes vote would let the city pursue federal funding for the project.

Stars in Skates: The show is billed as having the most Disney characters ever in one production, with 56 in total. Mickey and friends are joined by Tiana, Moana, Mirabel, Woody and Buzz, Elsa and Anna from Frozen 2, and Asha from Wish. Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon takes the show airborne with an aerial acro-pole routine.

Ice, Ice, Baby: Eight shows run Thursday through Sunday inside the T-Mobile Center, with morning, afternoon, and evening times. Disney on Ice is fun for the whole family, bringing Disney stars to life through cutting-edge figure skating, high-flying acrobatics, unexpected stunts, innovative lighting, and thrilling special effects!
