FINALLY! The PeopleMover Has Reopened at Disney World!

Although it may not be the most thrilling ride at Disney World, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a serious fan favorite! So you can imagine everyone’s worry and fear when this leisurely trip around Tomorrowland didn’t reopen with the park last summer. Since then, we watched in agony as its closure was extended again and again (and again, and again).

PeopleMover

To be honest, there was a time when we thought the PeopleMover was completely DOOMED, destined to follow in the footsteps of its west coast counterpart. But thanks to an announcement from the President of Walt Disney World, Jeff Vahle, we finally learned that the PeopleMover WOULD be moving people once again! And that day is today, friends.

The day has finally arrived where we can kick back, relax, and take a trip on the PeopleMover for the FIRST TIME since Disney World’s closures began back in March of 2020. It’s been THIRTEEN months! We rolled up bright and early to be reunited with the Tomorrowland ride.

Ready to go!

We gradually saw signs of life coming back to the ride — that creaky belt was moving and Cast Members were on the scene. Initially, Cast Members weren’t confident about what time the ride would officially reopen, but we did notice some Cast Member chefs getting a chance to hop on it — and then they were later evacuated! EEP!

So we waited, and waited…

The worst sound we were so excited to hear

…and then the closed sign came down!

FINALLY! The PeopleMover reopened and we were moving through the line! YAY!

By the time we got on the ride, there was a decent-sized line behind us. The wait time for this attraction is still not on the My Disney Experience app, but we’ll be looking for it to update on there!

There’s a line!

And then we were on!!!

We bet you can HEAR this photo…

The PeopleMover is a simple, slow-moving attraction, but we’ve always found it a great place to take a break and rest your weary feet without needing to leave the park! 

Oh, how we’ve missed this view.

If you’re looking for a unique POV in Disney World, look no further than the PeopleMover.

Oh, Happy Day!

It goes through several of Tomorrowland’s buildings, including Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, and Mickey’s Star Traders.

By the time we got off, there was a SERIOUS line.

We’re so happy to see the return of the PeopleMover — we’ve really missed it! We’re looking forward to riding it over and over now that it’s open again!
