People Mover....

[sapphirerose915]

What exactly is it?? An aerial ride around Tomorrowland??? Just trying to understand the concept.. if its something I should add to the itinerary... I've been to WDW probably about 10 times.. but never on it..

Yes, aerial (not very) ride around tomorrowland.
Its a nice relaxing break... nothing trilling about it but when your tired and need to rest, its awesome!

An narrated ride around Tomorrowland on an electrically-powered "train" of sorts.

10 visits and no ride on the PeopleMover? Blasphemous!

It's essentially a "tour" of Tomorrowland. It brings your through Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear which is fun since you get to see inside the rides. I would definitely add it to your itinerary since there is usually no line and serves as a nice quick break to relax and enjoy the view.

Think of it as a slow moving monorail that travels through Tomorrowland taking you by and even inside some of the attractions. There is a monologue along the way describing what you are seeing. There are individual cars instead of a train. It is very relaxing and often a short standby wait or even walk on. Loads quickly.

I didn’t make it on it until trip #4. It’s a nice peaceful break. My kids get a kick out of waving to the other people on the people mover

I like to call it my "10 minutes of rest." I go on it several times a trip!

Gotcha!!!!! Sounds like a plan!!!

Definitely at night. It's one of those things I love. Great pics and great views at night.

People Mover is just classic Disney for me. Yes it is old, yes sometimes the moving walkway does not work, but I love it! A trip to the Magic Kingdom is not complete without a ride. It is a great way to rest those tired feet while enjoying a tour of Tomorrowland.

I love it. It’s a must do every time I’m in the MK. It’s the only way to see the model of Walt’s original concept for EPCOT. I wish I could stay on for 3-4 rounds with a picnic basket.

It’s the best “get off your feet and rest” you’ll ever have at the park.

...I wish I could stay on for 3-4 rounds with a picnic basket.

You do know that you can, right?

Well the picnic basket might be a tad awkward, but you typically can ask to stay on. If the queue is short, which it normally is, just ask the CM at the unloading point if you can go again. We always ride more than once without disembarking from the vehicle.

This is a great thing for those of us that may or may not be considered "older". Our personal best was 10 times around without getting off. Did it for our 40th anniversary. Got to know all the CMs working that afternoon, and they really made a big deal about it. Gave us Mickey stickers that they all signed as a memento. Still have them. Great memories.
