Episode 47: Tomorrowland: Fast Pass or Hard Pass?
Today we're playing a game called FAST PASS or HARD PASS - where we discuss our favorite (FAST PASS) and least favorite/what we would change (HARD PASS) things in Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World resort - including the best & worst of Carousel of Progress, Space Mountain, People Mover, Astro-Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear, Lunching Pad, and more!
Remember that feeling of stepping into Tomorrowland for the first time? The distinctive retrofuturistic music playing overhead, the gleaming structures promising glimpses of a future that somehow feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking at once. There's something magical about this corner of Magic Kingdom that keeps drawing us back—even when certain aspects could use a little Disney magic to make them shine brighter.
We're diving deep into every nook of Tomorrowland, sharing what we absolutely love about each attraction alongside what we'd change if Disney handed us the keys to the kingdom. From the front-row thrills of Tron Lightcycle Run (which desperately needs a more recognizable theme) to the perfect serenity of the PeopleMover (which needs absolutely nothing changed), we're covering it all with equal parts appreciation and imagination.
The beauty of Tomorrowland lies in how it balances preservation of Walt's original vision with innovation that keeps pushing forward. The Carousel of Progress stands as testament to this delicate balance, soon to feature Walt himself in the pre-show while maintaining the beloved rotating theater experience that has delighted generations.
What would you change about Tomorrowland? Would you add more shade (please, for the love of Mickey, more shade), extend the PeopleMover track, or finally put something useful in that massive Tomorrowland Terrace space that sits empty most of the day? Join our conversation and share your own Fast Pass/Hard Pass ideas for making tomorrow's Tomorrowland even better than today's!
