Tomorrowland at night


Okay, the evening is winding down. Brandon had wanted to check out Space Mountain, but the wait is over 60 minutes, and he’s not that interested in riding it. We settle on an aerial tour of Tomorrow on the great Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the magnetically-powered “vehicles of tomorrow.”

The TTA is one of our favorite attractions, always so relaxing, and great for sightseeing.

This is our first voyage at night. As we look out to the hub, we can see the parade going by. The castle looks so cool in its ice lights! We zip through Space Mountain – it’s obligatory for us to yell something to the people actually riding Space, such as “You’re doomed!” Maybe it’s because our eyes are already adjusted to the dark, but the stars and glowing coaster vehicles really stand out in the interior of the mountain.

As we zip along, there is a DJ playing lots of jamming tunes really loud, and there’s a big crowd in the Tomorrowland courtyard dancing. We recognize most of the tunes from Radio Disney and bop along with them in our ride vehicle.

After we glide through the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin building and are nearing the loading area, the boys suddenly start asking, “Can we ride again?” Sure, why not.

We exit down the moving sidewalk and make our way to the loading up-ramp and are back on the TTA almost immediately. Love this ride.
