It seems like EVERYTHING is changing in Magic Kingdom. First, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin got a massive update. Then Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened with a lot of changes. Meanwhile, Rivers of America is GONE, and a new Cars expansion, Piston Peak, is going in its place. Then there’s construction happening on a new Villains land. It’s a LOT.
Let’s go for a ride on the PeopleMover
Well, that doesn’t mean that we don’t spot the smaller changes, too, and we were recently hopping on one of our FAVORITE chill Magic Kingdom rides, when we noticed something had changed there. Yes, the PeopleMover is a little different now.
If you love the PeopleMover as much as we do, YOU NEED our PeopleMover Fan Club shirt! Get it now online at the Magical Guides Store!

We made our way through Magic Kingdom to head into Tomorrowland recently to hop on the PeopleMover, which is one of our favorite rides for resting our feet. However, as we were walking through the ride’s entrance, we noticed something was gone. Remember how you’d walk up to the escalator and go through a turnstile (which we assume is to help Disney count how many guests go through there)?
Turnstile at PeopleMover
Well, we noticed that the turnstile is GONE. It’s kaput. Disappeared. No longer there.
The turnstile is gone
The PeopleMover (or the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, its full name) opened in Disney World in 2009, and has been moving…well…people…ever since. The ride was based on a long-gone Disneyland ride called the Wedway PeopleMover, although that version changed elevations, whereas the Disney World version doesn’t.
PeopleMover
It’s one of the best ways to take a break in Magic Kingdom on a hot day, but it also gives you unique views of TRON Lightcycle / Run, Tomorrowland Speedway, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Space Mountain, a diorama of the original EPCOT concept, a diorama with two robots, and Star Traders. It’s a pretty sweet and relaxing ride. And, yeah, if you need a nap, well, it’s good for that, too.
Riding on the PeopleMover
We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney World updates, so stay tuned to Magical Guides for more.
