Tomorrowland Transit Authority The PeopleMover

 

Tomorrowland Transit Authority-The People Mover.   The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, formerly known as the WEDWay (WED= Walt Elias Disney) PeopleMover from 1975 until 1994 and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority from 1994 until 2010, is a PeopleMover system in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort.  This is a staple ride that has been at the Magic Kingdom since near the opening of the parks.   For many people, this is a must do ride.  Let’s talk about why.

The PeopleMover is in Tomorrowland and there are many reasons that people enjoy the ride.  First, people are transported around Tomorrowland on these open air cars on the second level.  You get a great view of Tomorrowland from these ride.  You get to see the model of Walt Disney’s vision of Epcot was.  It is radically different from the Epcot theme park we know today!

You will pass through Space Mountain and get a quick glimpse of what it looks like in there!  This is one of the places that the ride is dark!   You also get a glimpse of Buzz Lightyear’s  Space Ranger Spin.

People seem to love the PeopleMover for many reasons.  There is the nostalgia of the ride.  being there since 1975, many people grew up riding the PeopleMover as children and it returns them to that state of mind.  On the opposite end of that is, as a parent, remembering all the rides when you children were little!   Whenever, I take this ride, in my mind’s eye, I see my son at 3 years old–fascinated by the ride!

For some people, it is not a trip to the Magic Kingdom if they do not take a ride on the PeopleMover.  This is a staple of many that frequent the parks.  This makes it a must do for them or they would not feel like they had that Magic Kingdom day!

So, there are many reasons why people love the PeopleMover.  Regardless of why people love it, the people agree that it is a loved attraction in Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom!  Make sure to give it a ride when you are there.  It will be worth the wait, which is not bad at all!   This ride is in constant motion, so the lines move quickly.  See a Point Of Video video below!

The Wave At The Contempory Resort! Godiva Chocolate Martini….Yum

The Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center are right on the Monorail System.  The Wave restaurant is located in the Contemporary Resort. You know, the hotel the monorail goes through.  The Wave bar and restaurant is there.  There is no view, food is delish, but oh the Godiva Chocolate Martini is to die for!  The food is yummy and it is dark and cool.  Very good break for a day in the parks.

This martini is liquid, cold hot chocolate for adults.  It is cool and refreshing and is a must do for martini lovers and chocolate lovers alike!
Need a break from the heat….hop on the monorail and head over to The Wave bar and enjoy one of these delish cocktails.

The food is great too of course,  and you can’t forget that award winning Disney service.

T-Rex Resturant In Disney Springs

Walking back in time to the age of the dinosaur!

 

With company in town, we headed over to Disney Springs.  The new stores are beginning to open or prepare to open more at Disney Springs again.  YAY!   We wanted playful and decided on the T-Rex Cafe.  It was similar to the Rain forest Cafe with a dinosaur theme.  Not just dinosaurs, we had tentacles above our heads.  Below is a brief video of some of the action.

We had drinks and appetizers and sat around to enjoy the show!  There was thunder and lightening and all the creatures come to life!
The food was good.  Similar to the quality of Rainforest Cafe.
