food IS a theme park
We can now say that one saga was worth the wait in Disney World: the PeopleMover is FINALLY open!!
It has been WAY too long!
After over a year, we finally got to cruise around Tomorrowland today, and oh, how we’ve missed this attraction.
Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but the Most Perfect Place on Earth? Not unless your idea of “perfect” is being taunted by a s’more.
Magic Kingdom
We typically have an AMAZING time when we visit Disney World, but we won’t pretend that everything always goes as smooth as the Skyliner (or, you know, not). For example, here are five things that went hilariously horribly wrong this week!
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.
So…is the PeopleMover opening or nah?
Rise and Shine, Tomorrowland!
This week, it was announced that the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover’s refurbishment of over a year was finally coming to an end this weekend. We spotted updated hours for the attraction on the Disney website, and upon talking to Cast Members, were told that today might be the magical day. So, we were at Magic Kingdom bright and early this morning to scope out the situation for ourselves.
Paging Star Command! Think you have what it takes to defeat Zurg and save the galaxy? Then you’re going to have to blast off to infinity and beyond on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom!
Want to be a Galactic Hero?
And once you blast off, you’ll be wanting to reach that coveted status of Galactic Hero, right? But how exactly do you go about nabbing 999,999 points on this ride? Well, we just reached Galactic Hero Status, and now we’re going to tell you EXACTLY how we got there.
Oh, PeopleMover…how we’ve missed you.
Soon!
The PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been closed for over a year now, and we’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for one of our favorite rides at Disney World to reopen. And the reopening has been delayed over…and over…and over again. We were starting to think the PeopleMover was DOOMED.
Hey, everyone! We’ve been to Magic Kingdom this week to check out all the latest and greatest!
Welcome to Magic Kingdom!
And we’re here now with some updates to keep you in the loop about new merchandise, food, and more! Let’s get to it!
We’ve got a HUGE update, DFB friends!
PeopleMover
By now, you probably know that the PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been closed for a LONG time. It first shut down in March 2020, and we haven’t seen it reopen since! The reopening has been delayed again…and again…and again, but now, we’ve got BIG news.
Have you visited Disney World’s flagship park in a while?
Severe weather in Magic Kingdom
We positively love strolling the streets of Magic Kingdom, especially when that means we get to look for news to tell YOU. Sometimes, that means braving some pretty wild weather, but we’ve still got all the latest news from the park!
It’s been quite a rainy day in Disney World today.
Time to leave?
The scene today in Magic Kingdom, under a “Severe Weather Warning,” was definitely ominous (and wet), but still, that wasn’t the most disappointing part of our day. We’ve seen things been abandoned in Disney World before, like Dole Whip and Mickey balloons. But today, we saw something that shook us to our core.
