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.
There is SO much construction and makeover work being done in Magic Kingdom right now. Disney World is spiffing up just about EVERYTHING for the big 50th anniversary celebration set to happen later this year!
Get ready for some magic!
Cinderella Castle has been in the middle of a SERIOUS glow-up since last year — it got a new paint job, new fancy banners, new ribbons on the spires, and a stage in front of the castle has been under construction for a while.
Is anyone else having construction fatigue at Disney, or is it just us??
EPCOT Construction Walls
There have been a LOT of changes taking place at Disney World, and we’ve been tracking them all. We took a look at all of the updates this week and are here to give you all the deets!
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.
It’s been well…a YEAR for everyone, but especially for Disney World’s PeopleMover. The Magic Kingdom attraction closed over a year ago and we’re still waiting for it to reopen.
Patiently waiting…
The reopening was delayed, then delayed again, and then delayed AGAIN. But earlier this week, Disney announced that the ride would be up and running “late this weekend.”
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.
It’s time to put on your best vintage outfits and head to Disney World because Dapper Day has arrived!

And we’ve done our hair, put on our face, and put our best foot forward to cover all things Dapper Day this weekend at Disney World — Saturday at the Magic Kingdom and Sunday at EPCOT!
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.
