"Ask me how do you get to Tomorrowland
Close your eyes, make a wish and you're there...."
Have you ever seen the movie, "An Affair to Remember" starring Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant? Next to Titanic, I believe it is the most romatic movie of all time!
Anyway, in that movie, Deborah Kerr plays a nightclub singer who falls in love with playboy Cary Grant, despite being engaged to another man. One of the songs she sings in the movie is called "Tomorrowland" -- I swear it has a Disney connection. I have never confirmed it, though....I do like to think it does.
Listen to it and see for yourself:

On a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in July, as I walk beneath the magnificent Tomorrowland arch, I happily hum that tune in my head....
My first stop:
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin!
I like the pychedelic neon colors of this ride, it is in stark contrast to the soft muted colors of TSM at DHS.
It was practically a walk-on, so I sat in my space cruiser in no time
Can you spot the Hidden Mickey in this photo?
After Buzz, I decide to get on:
The view from my seat:
Space Mountain from the TTA:
Entering SM (I unsuccesfully tried to take a photo of the whole sign):
Inside SM:
I had a small penlight with me, and used it to try and illuminate the inky darkness of SM. Didn't work (duh!)
Got a cool Astro Orbiter shot as my vehicle exited SM:
Took a castle photo from another perspective:
Did you know that the same power system that runs the TTA runs the inter-terminal train at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport? The inter-terminal train is the only people mover built by the Walt Disney Company outside of a Disney property. Mechanically it is the same design as the PeopleMover/TTA in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland.
In homage to its Houston connection, I ride the TTA again.
Next, I walk over to the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor:
I had a great Disney joke, but have very slow texting fingers, so I didn't even attempt to send mine (To those who've read my old TR, you've heard this one before):
Question: Why doesn't anyone want to play with Tigger?
Answer: Because he's always playing with Pooh!
It is a cute show, but I did feel a little sorry for those who were picked-on during its course. I'm glad I wasn't seated where they were.
After the comedy show, I head on to:
I absolutely dislike this attraction (I do not like being strapped-in by the neck, and I hate the smell of Stitch's burp--eewwww!) On the opposite end of the spectrum, my boys LOVE it so very much.
My purpose in going here was not to ride, but rather to buy Sam a few birthday presents from the gift shop. Remember, Sam is a huge Stitch fan, so I picked out a Stitch laser zapper and some toy swords for him and Jake. I have them sent to City Hall/Main St. package pick-up for later tonight.
The heavens then decide to open up and pour buckets of rain on the Magic Kingdom.
Where did my bright sunny blue sky go?
I take out my trusty umbrella and head to the Main Street bakery:
And as quick as the rain started, it then abruptly stopped.
I snack on a delicious apple turnover (and was almost tempted to get a cinnamon roll too, lol! )
After that, I crossed Main Street to browse around the Main St. Emporium to kill some time before the parade.
I really wanted to get the Mickey dishwasher sign that you could turn to indicate "dirty" or "clean" contents. I don't know why I didn't buy it.
Maybe I was just overwhelmed by all the Disney goodies that I couldn't make a final choice.
The parade is now about to start. I pick an awesome spot right in front of the Emporium, across from the Watch store. The view to my left (Yikes! Where did all these people come from?) :
Up next:
The Disney Dreams Come True Parade! Tons of photos!
Stay tuned!
I must subscribe
Your pictures make me want to go on it right now 
I guess I lent it out to somebody. Oh well, good reason to go out tomorrow and buy another one!
