It was on Friday 2/14.

 

[Sparky's Wife]

It was open all last week. I was told that the refurb was put off until April or May.

Rode it this morning!

Does anyone know how long it's slated to be closed once they start? We're going in August with someone who really loves the people mover....

We are going theast weekend in April and I'll be kinda upset if it's under refurb while we are there. This is my favorite way to relax in the parks

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! It was under refurb during our last trip so it was going to be a bummer to miss it again! Thanks!

My wife, too. She would be DEVASTATED if she couldn't ride it during our upcoming August trip.

 

[Mama Moose]

Yay!!!!

We love this ride and the kids were devastated when I told them it wasn't going to be open. They are going to be so excited!!

I asked CM last night. He said routine maintenance.

I've heard from a few sources that PeopleMover will be going down for refurb at the same time as Astro Orbitor. As far as when that is this year, haven't seen anything.

I read an unsubstantiated rumor last night (and of course I can’t find that link this morning) that the Astro Orbiter will be down from May-July, and the TTA will be down May-June. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that those are the dates, because I don’t know how to break it to my wife if her favorite ride is down when we go this year.

If this rings true then I will be one upset mama. I love the TTA and would be so sad if it was down while we are there. Oh well, it is what it is and I am not going to loose hope until I hear official word from Disney. And even then, I know I will still have a great time, because well you know we are in Disney . There will be one good thing though, the 7DMT is set to be opened by the time we are there.
