Tomorrowland

The future that never was is finally here.

If you love the thought of a totally out of this world future then you will be a fan of Tomorrowland! Such a place is loaded with fun based on imaginative concepts that call for a much needed suspension of reality. Believing in the impossible is what Disney is all about, but this Land of Tomorrow takes that one step further & actually does it. So much is based on the imagination that can only take place in the mind, & yet there is room to give those thoughts a place to grow...in Tomorrowland, with some fantastical attractions:
  • Space Mountain Attraction-"Blast off for a superpower rocket ship ride through the galaxy."
  • Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin-"Hitch a ride with some of your favorite 'Toy Story' characters."
  • Timekeepers (open seasonally)-"Meet famous inventors & visionaries of the Machine Age."
  • Astro Orbiter-"Pilot your own spacecraft high above Tomorrowland Area."
  • Tomorrowland Indy Speedway-"Drive your own race car around a twisting, turning track."
  • Tomorrowland Transit Authority-"Tour Tomorrowland Area aboard ingenious transportation."
  • Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress (open seasonally)-"A tour of technological progress from the beginning of the 20th century to the near future."

Ever since the first time I went to Disney World, at age 9, the Carousel of Progress was a highlight for me in Tomorrowland. I still enjoy it very much & love the story it tells! It is fun to look back over time & see how life has changed, especially in terms of technology. Parts of the attraction are humorous, particularly when it comes to the things they never thought possible that seem like no big deal today. It is also a relaxing break from the outdoor elements that are so unpredictable.
