We’ve been reporting on all of Walt Disney World’s new social distancing measures this week as Cast Members and Annual Passholders preview the parks before the official reopening on July 11. It seems a big social distancing measure has been taken with the closure of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
An A-frame outside of the attraction informs guests that it is not operating at this time and encourages them to visit other Tomorrowland attractions.
The PeopleMover was also closed for the whole week leading up to Magic Kingdom’s closure back in March. Disney stated no official reason for the attraction’s closure at that time, though it may have had to do with a possible fire in January.
We did see the PeopleMover cars running later, though the attraction did not reopen. It’s possible it will remain closed while Cast Members and guests get used to other social distancing measures.
Keep checking our homepage for updates on attractions as Walt Disney World continues to reopen this week.
hope it doesn’t become seasonal, or closed forever, that would be bad
Well too bad they couldn’t use the extended closure, fixing up this attraction :(
Disney lost out on tons of money with each and every single one of their locations closed due to COVID19 and all of construction siezed. Some of their locations are still closed and Disney Land is amongst those parks. It doesn’t make sense to repair and construct when the future remains uncertain. Once we have a vaccine that works and Guests begin to visit the Parks including guests from overseas, Disney will Probably Build more than ever and it will be Awesome.
My wife and I love the PeopleMover. Great views and great for taking photos (which we always do). And great for giving our feet a rest.
