Best Time to Ride Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover
This elevated, open-air ride glides guests on a relaxing tour through the interior and exterior of Tomorrowland using a linear induction motor system with no moving parts in the track. You'll pass through Space Mountain (catching glimpses of the ride), Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and a model of Walt Disney's original vision for the EPCOT city. Rarely more than a 10-minute wait, it's a fan-favorite way to rest your feet while enjoying breezy views of the park. Operating since 1975, it embodies Walt's vision for clean, efficient urban transportation.
