Step into Tomorrowland Area and you are stepping into what Walt envisioned as a place where the future lives.  In his own words: “Tomorrow can be a
wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the space age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. The Tomorrowland Area attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future.”

Tomorrowland Area is constantly changing and progressing to keep up with futuristic views.  In order to keep this land from looking like it is living in the past, Tomorrowland Area has been subject to many updates and changes, the most recent one completed in 1995 where the entire land was rehabbed to a retro-futuristic “tomorrow that never was.”  While its current theming resembles a sci-fi city of the future, it is best enjoyed at night where it transforms itself in the dark and where the neon is glowing bright.

Tomorrowland Area is home to two of Disney’s most famous attractions – Space Mountain Attraction where you blast off on a speedy coaster through outer space and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Attraction, formerly known as the WEDway People Mover to those of us who are long-time visitors.
