Sidewalks replace Peoplemover vehicles at Magic Kingdom

Feet: the original “people mover.”

MAGIC KINGDOM, FL — Just in time for the amazing summer weather in Florida, officials at Walt Disney World have re-opened the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover — after the installation of sidewalks.

Disney (the company) spokesthey [Ed.: What?] Jun Disney (no relation) spoke with our imbedded reporters [Ed.: What exactly are they imbedded in? And is it toxic?], exclaiming, “After a lengthy downtime of over one year, the future of transportation is here!”

“Futuristic”

“The new TTA Peoplemover is going futuristic with our sidewalks!” continued Disney (no relation). “Guests will enjoy their leisurely stroll around Tomorrowland and through classic attractions such as Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and, uh… yeah, that’s really it, isn’t it? I guess they can also look at the cars, and that rollercoaster track storage building we’ve put up. At least the walkway is shaded!”

Shoes will be optional, and guests will be asked to keep moving and not stop along the way for pictures, eating, drinking, spitting, or urinating off the side of the sidewalk, even if that jerk Steve is down there. One-way only traffic will keep guests in line and allow for smooth travel on this exciting “Walkway in the Sky.”

This is one more step in Walt Disney World’s green effort to replace all machinery with foot power, after replacing the buses and monorails with sidewalks. Which attraction will be next?
