PeopleMover Reopens After One Day With Construction Walls

After a one-day closure, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom has reopened.

PeopleMover Reopens

Children and adults walk near the PeopleMover entrance at a sunny outdoor area with trees and modern architecture.

On Thursday, construction walls completely wrapped around the PeopleMover’s entrance ramps. They were completely removed overnight. Cast Members told us yesterday that the ride’s entrance was receiving maintenance and it was expected to reopen today (Friday).

Two escalators lead to the PeopleMover ride entrance under a white canopy with blue and red accents at a theme park.

Sure enough, the ride is open and operational. The “down” ramp was operational, but the “up” ramp was not at the time of publication.

People ride an outdoor moving walkway surrounded by red and blue structures, with sunlight casting shadows.

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover opened at Magic Kingdom on July 1, 1975, inspired by the original PeopleMover at Disneyland. Though the Disneyland version closed in 1995, the Walt Disney World attraction remained. The ride itself has not changed but it has received new narration and the 1970s entrance turnstiles were replaced this summer.
