I am Disney lover, and I will never be able to call this attraction Tomorrowland Transit Authority or TTA... it will ALWAYS be the PeopleMover to me and now to my kids (raisin em right!) This post is just fantastic. I am sorry I have never been to DL, but growing up in the middle-class south just did not lend itself to trips to CA. However, it's our family's goal to get to all the Disney parks at some point and DL is next on our list. Again, LOVE your blog!<BR/><BR/>Pixiedust,<BR/>ChristiThe Artwork of Christi Bunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848949966583490343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-44864011713469913162008-07-26T19:38:00.000-07:002008-07-26T19:38:00.000-07:00Well, guess I have to go to WDW now that I know th...Well, guess I have to go to WDW now that I know they have the original Progressland model. Every time I hear the Carousel of Progress soundtrack and that melancholy music from the Progressland section, I can see the that beautiful model in my imagination.

I'm still hoping that *someday* a camcorder recording of the Peoplemover ride during the IYHW era will surface, as it is now the one remaining elusive Holy Grail of WDW video for me.<BR/><BR/>Even though I've never been to DL, my love and respect for WDW history has made me fascinated by DL history too and I love reading this blog and other sites too to learn more about it.

I was at Disneyland yesterday with out of town relatives and it was hard to explain; a dead People Mover track, a freaky satellite rotating thing on top and “Inoventions”. <BR/><BR/>Eric, “If you had wings” sounds so cool; I wish I could have seen it. The Buzz thing is silly, and the view of it from the PeopleMover is silly as well. <BR/><BR/>Sundaynight, it’s worth the trip. WDW is something any Disney fan should do, at least once. <BR/><BR/>Progressland; It seems people actually are paying attention and staying in the cars or at least if they are getting out they aren’t getting crushed by the next car. Maybe they shut it down on Grad Nites???Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-87749903970456431152008-07-24T23:56:00.000-07:002008-07-24T23:56:00.000-07:00Thanks for a great trip on WEDway!Thanks for a great trip on WEDway!walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-23216275640824746302008-07-24T20:51:00.000-07:002008-07-24T20:51:00.000-07:00Yes, sundaynight, the model is the same one from C...Yes, sundaynight, the model is the same one from Carousel Of Progress at Disneyland.ericpaddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880416865587861007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-83536796875603949472008-07-24T19:51:00.000-07:002008-07-24T19:51:00.000-07:00Wow!

Loved the little videos especially the Epcot model which looks lot like the one that was in Carousel of Progress at Disneyland. Wonder if it’s the same one?

The fact that they have one at WDW makes me want to go to Florida just to ride it.<BR/><BR/>Really nice new site logo by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-79490236182922300732008-07-24T16:58:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:58:00.000-07:00The thing I loved most about the original WDW Peop...The thing I loved most about the original WDW Peoplemover was how it offered *three* preview windows of "If You Had Wings" and allowed one to see this great and much-missed Tomorrowland favorite from a totally different vantage point. Ever since "Dreamflight" replaced IYHW they have had no regard for how to utilize the Peoplemover's ability to properly preview the attraction it passes over (with Buzz Lightyear it's even worse). <BR/><BR/>Jack Wagner did a great job with the original Peoplemover narration, and during my last visit to WDW, I actually listened to an old audio recording of Jack's narration as I rode the Peoplemover. For one moment I could be brought back to memories of a grander time in WDW history than exists today (though I will admit WDW is fortunate to still have this ride, while I know how much DL would love to have theirs back).ericpaddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880416865587861007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-50705324874868615762008-07-24T11:33:00.000-07:002008-07-24T11:33:00.000-07:00So does this mean that at Walt Disney World people...So does this mean that at Walt Disney World people--<I>voluntarily!</I>--don't get out of the cars to get run over?Jason Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-59920610478397259022008-07-24T09:42:00.000-07:002008-07-24T09:42:00.000-07:00Sure do wish the People Mover was still moving peo...Sure do wish the People Mover was still moving people at Disneyland.
