Disneyland regulars- would you go to WDW Magic Kingdom Park just to ride The People mover?

[cruisehopeful]

I'll be at the Polynesian in August pre-cruise and wasn't planning on going to the theme parks at all because it's August in Florida. I'm starting to think about going to Magic Kingdom Park in the evening, just to ride the Peoplemover. Since I'll be there, I'll also do Carosel of Progress. I just miss those rides a lot because of nostalgia and I don't really like Tomorrowland in Disneyland anymore. I'm sure I would end up doing other things while there, but the pull is really the People Mover.

It really depends on your intentions for that money. I’m a DL vet who has fallen in love with WDW. Absolutely not would I spend the dough to People Mover/CoP. I would think about what else I could do with the money and there are other things I’d rather do with that much money.

Also, evenings are still hot and mugging and can even be filled with T-storms. If you buy a WDW MK ticket and don’t use it, the value cannot be used toward DL, it’s only useful toward a WDW ticket.

The way to do it is hit MK at park opening, explore all the different stuff (HM, 7DMT, 2-seater Tiana, SM) back to Poly until dark and then back into MK. And hope there isn’t a hurricane because Aug in FL.

I'm a huge Peoplemover fan but can't say I'd spend the price of a ticket just to go on that one ride. If I could make at least an afternoon/evening/night at Magic Kingdom out of it, though, then absolutely. Even if it's not just for rides, it would be worth it to me for a few key rides plus wandering the park, shopping, eating, people watching, etc. For me these days, being in the parks soaking in the vibe and nostalgia is just as big of a motivator as going on a bunch of rides, sometimes even more important.

I might— I’d spend the money for an evening in WDW doing nostalgic favorites before I’d spend it on most DCL excursions. Depending on your dates in August, you could possibly even get into MNSSHP, which would come with other unique stuff you don’t usually get to do at our home resort (DLR). You might also enjoy the new Country Bears Musical Jamboree? On a non-party night you might also enjoy the new starlight parade (weather permitting).

I forgot that they still have Country Bear Jamboree. That definitely adds a positive.

I would ask Mr Tom Morrow.

Yes. I would, but I Love the People Mover at night!! Carousel of Progress, Presidents Hall, TRON, Country Bear Jamboree and to cool off - Dole on top of Pineapple Upside Down cake at Aloha Isle! All fun stuff we don't have in Calif!

Keep in mind that it’s an updated version— but honestly, the older/original MK version never felt like the “real” one to me because I grew up at DLR in the 80s with the summer vacation version— I like the new version and recommend it, just don’t want you to be disappointed when it’s not the exact same.
