I talk a lot about hidden gems on this blog (it’s my favorite subject!), but there may be none as hyper-specific than the topic of today’s post. This is the kind of hidden gem that if you spot it and point it out to your family, they’ll probably be confused and…not that interested. But if […] Read more…
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…
May 2019 – present LOCATION Tomorrowland – Alien Pizza Planet is located in Tomorrowland’s large open plaza. To find the restaurant, keep your eye out for a giant red and white rocket (if you’re coming from Main Street, it will be on your right). The rocket will guide you to the Pizza Planet. You’ll know […] 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…
Summer 2006 – present LOCATION Tomorrowland – TomorrowLanding hides in the back of Tomorrowland. To find this shop, follow the main path as it opens up into the central courtyard.

June 2000 – present LOCATION Tomorrowland – The Winner’s Circle hides way in the back of Tomorrowland, near the walkway to the Tomorrowland railroad station.

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 if you do stop to look up at the Tomorrowland skies, you may notice a complicated structure on top of the PeopleMover’s former loading dock. Meet the […] Read more…
March 2005 – present LOCATION Tomorrowland – Little Green Store Command shares a building with Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. You’ll find the shop at the entrance to Tomorrowland, across the walkway from Star Tours. If you’re coming in from the Fantasyland side, keep right when the plaza opens up. You’ll see Little Green Store Command […] Read more…
Tomorrowland is a tricky land to capture in photos. My pics tend to either be completely overwhelmed by crowds, or look too grey and industrial. But if you’re patient and a little creative, you can capture some really beautiful spots across the land. Tomorrowland is much more than Space Mountain, Star Tours, and the Astro […] Read more…
Tomorrowland has the most active skyline of any land in the park; around every corner you’ll see flying rockets, a mountain, towering tracks, and lots of geometric architecture. 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…
The Astro Orbitor has been a fan favorite in Tomorrowland since the park opened. But like the rest of Disneyland, the Orbitor regularly updates and occasionally overhauls to stay updated and exciting. Did you know that the rockets currently on the Orbitor are not original? That may not seem surprising. But I bet you didn’t […] Read more…
