The Tomorrowland Transit Authority located inside Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom has been closed ever since before the temporary park closures, which took place back in March.

Once the theme parks reopened mid-July, Guests were hoping to see the PeopleMover open back up with the rest of the attractions, however, this wasn’t the case.

Guests weren’t sure what exactly was happening with this Tomorrowland attraction as Disney never officially closed it down for refurbishment. Some were speculating that Disney closed the attraction due to the construction work being done on the upcoming Tomorrowland roller coaster, TRON while others suspected Disney just needed new parts to fix the TTA PeopleMover. However, the Walt Disney World website has officially updated their website to mark the PeopleMover as “closed for refurbishment”.

Inside the Magic went through the next few months to find out when Disney plans on reopening the ride, which won’t be until November 1. You can see this reflected in the screenshots below.

The first screenshot shows August 8, 2020 which the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is now officially listed as temporarily unavailable and closed for refurbishment.
