food IS a theme park
Hey, everyone! We’re back at Magic Kingdom!
Welcome to Main Street, U.S.A.
And although we’re at Magic Kingdom a LOT, we still have a few updates for you since we were last there. So let’s get to it!
Update: As of about 6PM ET, Space Mountain appears to have reopened as it is showing a 50 minute wait on My Disney Experience.
Disney World may be magical, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect! Sometimes rides are temporarily closed for technical or other issues and they sometimes need to be evacuated.
Disney World
Earlier this week, 5 EPCOT attractions were ALL closed at the same time. Recently, we also shared a look at 2 Disney World rides that have been closed for OVER a year. And now, a super popular Magic Kingdom ride has been evacuated and is temporarily closed!
Oh Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, we miss you so much!
PeopleMover
This fan-favorite ride in Magic Kingdom has been closed for quite some time. It was meant to reopen with the park back in July, but the reopening date has been delayed several times now. We’ve been carefully watching to see what’s going on in the area, and today we spotted something unusual!
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.
PeopleMover
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 Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!
Cinderella Castle
Although it was a little stormy last night, we had gorgeous blue skies at Disney World today! So come along with us for a beautiful day at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT!
We’re back at Disney World today!
Cinderella Castle
And we’ve been taking in all the sights, sounds, merchandise, and more! We took a ton of photos and videos to bring you along with us! So let’s go!
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.
