Oh PeopleMover, how we’ve missed you.

It’s been closed for over a YEAR — since March 2020 to be exact. We’ve been following the refurbishment’s ups and downs closely — even as the poor ride vehicles were PUSHED by a Cast Member! And we’ve gotten our hopes up for its reopening multiple times, but Disney keeps dashing them by extending the closure over…and over…and over again. But today, we finally saw a MAJOR sign that we may get to cruise around Tomorrowland again soon.

The PeopleMover is currently scheduled to reopen on April 4th. That’s next Sunday! And while that sounds SUPER exciting, Disney’s extended the closure at the last minute before, so nothing’s guaranteed. But we have good news!

We spotted some testing going on today. First of all, the ride vehicles were making their grand circle of Tomorrowland (without guests inside, of course.). Seems like everything’s running a-okay there!

Now, on the OTHER hand…Disney was testing the ramps up to the loading platform today, and they sounded like they needed some HELP. Are those squeals of happiness or sorrow?! Is the PeopleMover suffering? Or is it just a little out of use and needs some TLC before it’s runnin’ smoothly again?

Even though the sound is painful, we’re happy to hear it coming from the PeopleMover! Maybe we can start counting down to that April 4th reopening, after all. We’ll keep you posted with more updates on the PeopleMover — and any other Disney news — so stay tuned to DFB!
