#995: Seeing Space Mountain with the lights on while riding the People Mover.

I can't explain why, but no matter how many times you've been Disney World, or how many rides you've been on, a favorite of everyone's, is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority aka the People Mover.

There's something nostalgic about it's simplicity, the overhead announcer explaining how much we should look forward to what the future has to offer, and let's be honest, it's just plain relaxing when you've had a long day or just need to take a load off.

The People Mover is a bonafide Classic.

But, sometimes things don't always go right at Walt Disney World. Sometimes shows get cancelled and rides break down and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

You'll never know when to expect these things to happen, so it's best to just enjoy the ride for as long as it'll last. But let's be honest...the People Mover isn't one to break down very often (*knock on wood*), however, there is a ride that will break down once in a while, in the most AWESOME way possible.

The People Mover takes us all over Tomorrowland, over the Carousel of Progress, through Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, but most importantly, and most Awesomely, through Space Mountain. 

And when Space Mountain is experiencing "technical difficulties"? All that ride the People Mover know about it.

Because guess what?

You're not in Deep Space anymore...cuz the lights are on



What makes this Awesome particularly AWESOME, is that it rarely happens. And you don't know when it's going to happen until you're minding your own business, gliding along on the People Mover and then suddenly, it's not dark. It's not Spacey...it's bright, and you can see a track. 

So snap some pictures no matter how bad the picture might be, because you have no idea when you'll be able to take another awful picture of Space Mountain with the lights on. 

AWESOME!!
