food IS a theme park
There are a LOT of rides in Disney World, and some of them get through WAY more folks than others.

With all the hubbub about capacities in a reopened Disney World and our constant interest in wait times, we’re wondering which Disney World attractions actually have the HIGHEST capacities — and maybe you are too! We’re looking at the top five highest capacity attractions in each Disney World park!
We’ve seen quite a few changes in Disney World recently! LOTS of festive decorations have gone up recently, and holiday snacks are popping up around the parks and resorts (one of which wasn’t even sure what holiday it was celebrating!), and the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance morning boarding group sign-up process has changed.

A fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom has been closed for far, far too long.
Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover closed a few days prior to the parks’ closures in March and has yet to reopen. Since then, refurbishment end dates have been announced, extended, and rescinded. Now, there has been another extension.
FOURTH UPDATE: Despite testing on the moving ramp up to the loading platform, the PeopleMover refurbishment has been extended again, through April 30th.
THIRD UPDATE: We saw some Cast Members riding the PeopleMover as part of what we presume is its testing, but the PeopleMover Refurbishment has now been extended through April 3rd.
SECOND UPDATE: We saw some testing going on at the PeopleMover in January, but the PeopleMover refurbishment has now been extended through February 28th.
UPDATE: The PeopleMover refurbishment has been extended through January 30th. So fingers crossed we see it open on the 31st!
Alright, we gotta know. What is going on with the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Disney World?!
Closed PeopleMover
This Magic Kingdom attraction (beloved by many, including us) has been closed since mid-March — BEFORE the park shut down due to the global health crisis. It was listed as reopening with Magic Kingdom in July, but now it remains closed and will remain closed for an indefinite amount of time. So what gives?
It looks like we’ll have to wait a little bit longer for our next ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.

The PeopleMover has remained closed since the Magic Kingdom reopened in July. And while the Disney World refurbishment calendar initially indicated that this closure would last through October, the refurbishment length has since been extended.
Ever since the Disney World parks reopened, we’ve been unable to hop aboard one of our favorite chill attractions.

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has remained closed for refurbishment in Magic Kingdom for several months now, and we’re not set to see it open until late November. Now, it looks like the attraction is getting some work done behind the scenes!
It looks like guests will have to wait at least a few more months for their next ride around Tomorrowland on the PeopleMover.

When Magic Kingdom reopened to guests in July, we noticed that the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover was not running. While there were signs outside of the attraction informing guests of the temporary closure, Disney did not announce an expected reopening timeframe.
It’s been quite the week for Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!
