"Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, please contact Mr. Johnson in the control tower to confirm your flight to the moon."

Welcome to my favorite ride in all of Walt Disney World, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover!

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (also called the Blue Line, TTA and Tomorrowland's Super-Skyway) is a peoplemover system in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Themed as an urban mass transit system of the future, riders are taken on a train ride around the second floor of many attractions in Tomorrowland.

Like many other rides in the Magic Kingdom, the Peoplemover originated in Disneyland. The PeopleMover, Presented by Goodyear, opened on July 2, 1967 as part of the New Tomorrowland at Disneyland. This leisurely tour through Tomorrowland lasted until 1995. Disneyland's version was vastly different from Disney World's in a few key ways, such as car design, track design, and how the cars moved.

Many people are quite bitter that the classic attraction at Disneyland was closed, which makes me appreciate Disney World's all the more. So, are you ready to ride?

Press play and I'll narrate what's happening throughout the video.

To board the Peoplemover, you ride up an escalator to the second-story of Rockettower Plaza. The Peoplemover vehicles never stop, so they always run continuously, which makes for very short wait times. A Cast Member directs you to your car, and you climb inside where the doors will shut automatically. One of my favorite things about this ride is the Tomorrowland area music, which can be heard now and throughout the ride. I absolutely love it. 

Here's where your tour begins. It's a little hard to hear the narrator, but he basically will be telling you where you are and what's happening throughout Tomorrowland. The breeze you get while riding on here is amazing, and this is literally one of the most relaxing experiences you can have. Now you pass Stitch's Great Escape, and while riding past here, you get an amazing view of the castle, which I love! Inside your first tunnel, you get a glimpse at the actual model of Walt Disney's original vision of EPCOT the city, which is absolutely amazing! There's some futuristic robots here, and you can get a peek into the retail store Mickey's Star Traders.

Now we're back outside! Pass by Tomorrowland Speedway, and wave to the drivers down there! Now you're entering the tunnel to Space Mountain, which seems pitch black, but at one point you are actually inside the Space Mountin ride building, and you can see and hear all the people on the rockets screaming. It's really cool! You even get a peek at the post-show area of Space Mountain. Here's where you can hear one of my favorite lines of the attraction, "Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, please contact Mr. Johnson in the control tower to confirm your flight to the moon." (Why is this so significant? Mr. Tom Morrow is obviously a play on words of Tomorrow, Mr. Johnson starred in the former Tomorrowland attraction Mission to Mars, and also pays tribute to the former Tomorrowland attraction Flight to the Moon.) The music in this dark tunnel is phenomenal, and you really feel like you've been transported somewhere else. 

Now you're back outside, and pass through the middle of Tomorrowland. This ride is really great for people watching! Now we're passing the lovely and wonderful Carousel of Progress, and eventually head into another tunnel inside of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. This part is really cool because you're looking through windows into the actual ride! Here's some more amazing background music as you exit the tunnel. You now pass by Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, and there isn't much to see inside the ride. Now you're approaching Rockettower Plaza, where your journey will unfortunately end. Climb out of your ride vehicle, and exit down the escalator ramp next to where you came up. Wasn't that great?

The Peoplemover at night is a completely different experience, and in my opinion, so much more magical. Tomorrowland lights up with bright neon lights at night, making it feel like a futuristic city of tomorrow. If you'd like to see what that's like, here's another video of the ride at night.

It's hard for me to really put into words what exactly makes this attraction my favorite. There's just something so magical about soaring through Tomorrowland in a car with your family or friends, getting to watch the world go by. This attraction really is vastly underrated, and some people don't even realize it's there. For me, when I think of Disney World, this is the first thing that pops into my mind. Tomorrowland in general is my favorite place to be, and the Peoplemover is just an amazing added extra to the experience. The Peoplemover will always hold a very special place in my heart.
