In the early years of Disneyland, Tomorrowland was probably the most malleable land. What I mean by that is it was clearly (and by Walt’s own admission) not done when it opened. A lot of the attractions were intentionally temporary due to both financial constraints and time constraints for park opening, and everyone knew that […] Read more…

Close your eyes and picture Tomorrowland. What do you see? Probably the silhouette of Space Mountain, a lagoon, and maybe a lot of grey and blue. Those elements are all huge parts of Disneyland’s futuristic wonderland, but when taking pictures, I get pretty bored with so much grey! On my last trip to the park, […] Read more…

If I had to pick a land I typically race through the fastest, it would be Tomorrowland. Between fast passes, quick bites to eat, or Monorail rides, I’m never staying still in Tomorrowland for long. It’s a shame though, because Tomorrowland has so many stunning little details. Each section of the land features beautiful plants, […] Read more…
During the day, Tomorrowland’s color scheme is a bit more subdued than its neighboring lands. But after sunset, the land comes alive in full neon color. The dramatic architecture and lagoon glow from sundown until park close. At night, Tomorrowland’s energy explodes, drawing in visitors from all over the park. Here are just a few […] Read more…
One of the unfortunate pieces of Tomorrowland is the empty PeopleMover track. It looms above the land, unused, and most guests don’t pay much attention to it.

But you may notice one structure flying high above the rest: the Moonliner! This rocket is a 2/3 replica of the original Tomorrowland Moonliner, which stood at […] Read more…
