food IS a theme park
ALERT. There has been a new development in the PeopleMover saga.
We Miss You PeopleMover
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been down for refurbishment for MONTHS now. It keeps getting a new reopening date, and then having that date change as the refurbishment gets extended again. Most recently, the refurbishment was set to end in February, but that has sadly changed.
It really has been quite the refurbishment saga with the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom.

This often underrated ride (which has a bit of a cult following) has been under refurbishment for MONTHS. And, that refurbishment has continually been extended. Over the past few months, we’ve seen people working on the ride, and some testing going on, but it still has not reopened to guests. But, today we spotted something that could mean we are one BIG step closer to hoping aboard this ride again!
Happy February! We’ve made it to month two of 2021, and we’re definitely excited about it!

January had a LOT of big Disney news, and we’ve got just as much to look forward to in February. We’re still waiting on several announcements, like opening dates for attractions, but even so, there’s plenty going on in the parks. Let’s dive into the 10 things you need to know about February in Walt Disney World!
For MONTHS the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has been closed for refurbishment.
PeopleMover Closure
We have been keeping a really close eye on this attraction, but month after month, it’s refurbishment period has continued to be extended. Most recently, the refurbishment was extended through January 30th. We saw the attraction being tested in early January and thought it’s refurbishment might be coming to an end. But, we (unfortunately) must share with you that the PeopleMover refurbishment has been extended once again.
Several refurbishments are happening in Walt Disney World right now!
Harper’s Mill Construction
Tom Sawyer Island  and the Liberty Square Riverboat are all getting fixed up in Magic Kingdom. Over in Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is going through some Winter downtime, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a full-scale makeover. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is among those that are temporarily closed. But, today we saw a glimmer of hope for a potential reopening.
