food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom has a LOT of iconic rides.
PeopleMover
One of which is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. We’re still relishing the fact that we can ride the PeopleMover again after over a year of closure, but everything hasn’t gone off without a hitch. Just yesterday, the ride had to be evacuated, and (spoiler alert), today was no different.
Things in Disney World can be very magical, but not everything always goes exactly to plan.

Rides, restaurants, and forms of Disney World transportation can sometimes experience issues that cause them to shut down for a large part of the day or be evacuated. In mid-April the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover was evacuated in Magic Kingdom and today it was evacuated again!
Have you ever had a “nope, not today” moment in Walt Disney World?
Some days aren’t always perfect in Disney World.
Maybe you had plans go awry or you experienced something that wasn’t nearly as “magical” as you hoped it would be. Or maybe it felt like the park was quitting on YOU (like when a favorite ride has a weird malfunction!). Today, we’re sharing the times that we had experiences like that in the parks because we’ve seen some pretty bonkers things!
Just when you think Disney World can’t get any busier…it does!
Magic Kingdom
We started the year with a FULL year’s worth of announcements in January alone, but there was still LOTS of Disney news in February and March. April was certainly no exception, with the long-awaited reopening of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and many transformations happening around the parks! And we’ve only seen more news released since then. Without further ado, let’s take a look at 16 new things that have happened in Disney World recently or are set to happen soon!
We’re blazin’ right on through spring!
Tree of Life
Yep, another month has FLOWN by just like that and we’ve seen a LOT of serious news from Disney World. Some of that news was downright SHOCKING, too. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World last month!
What a week it has been!!
Time for a Cruise? ©Disney
From HUGE Disney Cruise Line news to Disneyland reopening and some big announcements about the Jungle Cruise, we’ve got it all. Wondering what changes could impact your next vacation, what’s going on with Park Passes, and more? Buckle up — we’re about to take you through all the biggest Disney news from this week!
After being closed for over a year, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover FINALLY reopened yesterday!
Which part of the ride is YOUR favorite?
We had to wait quite a while for this fan-favorite ride to reopen, and while we were waiting, Cast Members had to be evacuated off of the ride when it was being tested. Later in the day, we were finally able to sit in those blue vehicles and take a relaxing ride all around Tomorrowland once more. But, now some the PeopleMover drama has continued.
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.
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.
