Since it was announced in late February that the refurbishment of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom was extended until April, we haven’t seen the attraction moving very much.

Today, Cast Members were pushing the train cars, which we’ve seen in the past.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover closed on March 9, 2020, unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic, and has now been closed for a full year.

We later saw some cars running as normal, even with the attraction’s audio playing at the hub of the ride. No other cars on the track were moving independently.

Hopefully, the PeopleMover will be ready to reopen next month.

If you have plans to visit Walt Disney World next week, we sure do hope you have Park Pass Reservations! If not, you likely won’t be able to enter any of the four Walt Disney World parks, unless Disney decides to open up more Park Pass availability.

Currently, the Park Pass calendar is showing no parks available March 13 – March 19 for all three tiers of ticket holders including Theme Park Ticket Guests, Resort Guests, and Annual Passholders. First up, Theme Park Ticket Guests has noted “no parks available” for March 13 – 19 as shown in the screen shot below:

Next, you’ll see Disney Resort Guests also has “no parks available” for March 13 – 19:

Last but not least, Annual Passholders have “no parks available” March 13 – 19, but the capacity for Annual Passholders also carries through to March 20:

Hopefully you have your Park Pass Reservations already secured! As previously shared, the Disney CEO has confirmed park capacity will remain at 35% with rise depending on COVID-19 vaccination rate. That said, FastPasses have yet to return which means you can plan for lengthy waits despite the 35% capacity. The lines do keep moving however, just be sure to tackle your must-do attractions first!
