ºoº Disney World’s PeopleMover is an attraction located in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. It has entertained guests since 1975 and was initially called WEDWay PeopleMover. “WED” is an acronym for “Walter Elias Disney.” The PeopleMover offers a relaxing 15-minute Tomorrowland tour and is renowned for its smooth and continuous movement. It is ideal for guests wishing to take a break from Disney’s thrilling rides. The PeopleMover moves about 7 miles per hour and does not require height, age, or seatbelts.
The PeopleMover provides an excellent vantage point for observing other attractions in Tomorrowland, such as Space Mountain and the Carousel of Progress. It is especially fascinating when Space Mountain is temporarily closed, as riders can get a unique and rare experience of seeing the roller coaster with the lights on. The ride also showcases a model of Walt Disney’s vision for an ideal community known as Progress City, which was a precursor to EPCOT.
The PeopleMover has undergone several updates and refurbishments, with the most recent significant update in 2022. Despite its popularity, the PeopleMover has faced challenges, including an attempt to transform it into a thrilling ride called Rocket Rods in the late 1990s. However, thanks to its enduring charm and nostalgic experience, the PeopleMover remains a beloved attraction at the Magic Kingdom.
