Hell to the No

I know, I know. It's been awhile. I can't blame it on a plane crash this time - just good ol' fashioned busy-ness and the winter blues. Even though I haven't been very diligent about writing, I have been keeping up with my Disney news, and my world collapsed when I read this article from Main Street Gazette telling me the one thing that could ruin our entire upcoming trip:


Because of Space Mountain's refurbishment, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority will also be closed during that time.

Clearly, the world hates me. Or someone at Disney World definitely does. I mean, I had just gotten over the fact that Space Mountain will be closed over the summer and now I hear that they're taking my absolute favorite ride in the whole resort away? The horror, the horror. Oh, the humanity.

Obviously, since the TTA's track runs through Space Mountain, this catastrophe makes a certain amount of sense. And yes, the TTA could use a little refurbishment of its own. But where are we supposed to spend 20% of our time in the Magic Kingdom? Where do we retreat to when it's hot and sticky and the FastPasses aren't ripe yet and everyone needs a time-out? Is there even a reason to go to Tomorrowland anymore?

So if you see me walking around the Magic Kingdom this July, just remember - I may appear to be having fun, but inside my heart = broken.

I am SO SORRY!! I know exactly how you feel about the TTA. On my last trip in September, I went with my mom, sister, aunt and cousin and none of them would ride the TTA with me. So on our last day, I went to MK all by myself and rode it. Twice! And took some fabulous pictures. I am so sorry for your loss. There's always the monorail or the WDW Railroad. NO where's near as fun, I know, but would do in a pinch.
