...or as some of us fondly remember it, the WEDway People Mover. Look up as you make your way through the Tomorrowland area that includes Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Space Mountain, and Astro Orbitor, and those blue cars you see gliding by are part of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.
To reach the loading platform you will step onto a moving conveyor belt that is at a steep incline. The loading platform moves at the same speed as the vehicles, so you can step inside easily. Each vehicle can seat four persons, two riding forward and two riding backward. Although the taking of photos is difficult, since you're constantly moving, the view is exceptional.
This is a great place to rest your feet and enjoy the sights from above. If you're not sure where to go next, jump on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority to decide. Not only is it restful, but you'll be able to see if there are long lines or crowds below you. This ride is also great at night when the park is all lit up. Be sure to
listen to the overhead speaker that narrates your journey for plays on
words such as, "Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow." And don't
forget to "keep all forward facing tentacles inside the vehicle!" Wait times are usually nonexistent. If there is a long line for this ride, the whole park must be REALLY crowded! You must
be ambulatory
to board this ride. There is nothing overtly scary about the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, however, you do go in and out of dark areas on the route. Occasionally, when you are in Space Mountain, you can hear screams from those on the roller coaster. Disney Characters are typically not found in or around the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Magic
Kingdom Characters at a Glance The nearest
food location is the Launching Pad, where you will find turkey
legs and an assortment of beverages. The Plaza Pavilion and Cosmic
Ray's offer counter service and are in the general area. Magic
Kingdom Restaurants at a Glance There are
no shops associated with the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. In
Tomorrowland you can visit Mickey's Star Traders.
Walt Disney's 20th Century vision for the future (a model city) can be seen along the way. Some believe this was tied closely to Walt's own vision for Epcot Center. If you have comments or tips to share with others about touring the Magic Kingdom, please email us. Thank you.
