What do YOU call this attraction?

[Goofyernmost]

It’s a Peoplemover. It’s a WEDway system.

Just to add to that slightly. Peoplemover is a real tangible object. You can touch it, feel it, ride on it and so on. TTA is fictional. I defy anyone to find the actual existence of the headquarters for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. It's ok to think of it as the TTA Peoplemover but foolish to argue about what the sign calls it because whatever Disney decides to call it, that is its name.

I call it "The People Mover" because that is what I called it for years.

I also don't care what other people call it. Well, my wife keeps calling it Astro Orbiter - THAT, I take issue with.

I started going to Disneyland in the early 80s, then Disney World in the late 80s. From then until the point at which I first started reading this site, I never once heard anybody refer to it as the TTA.

In other news, I still encounter acronyms on here that leave me scratching my head. For example, I saw posts referring to something called WCC earlier this week. No bloody clue what that is. I swear, the Disney fandom online seems to come up with acronyms at a greater rate than the DoD.

We’ve always called it just PeopleMover. Just like other attractions we cut out words that aren’t necessary, like calling PotC just Pirates or Expedition Everest just Everest. The family members or people we go with know exactly what we are referring to despite not using Disneys official designated title.

From the company that declared by sign for years that Buzz Lightyear was "lightyear's above the rest"!

You left off "Rocket Rods Precursor."

Probably Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Disney has a long history of giving things obnoxiously long names. It is what it is.

Thanks. And thanks for that acronym link. You know how many times I've read something here and have no idea what part of the parks or resorts people are actually talking about?

Don’t be afraid to ask…not EVERYONE on here is condescending!! You learn to get thick skin around here…

I know most, but some still throw me for a loop. We have all kinds of abbreviations for the new(er) attractions.

On another forum, there is a thread about the Deluxe hotels that mentions the club level floors. And of course Disney has given them all names like the Regatta Club (at Yacht Club), but if you have never stayed there, how would you even know that? (though I suppose you could search it, as I just did.) So I think it is funny when people use those names, and then go so far as to come up with an acronym for them. Anyhow, those are pretty obscure in my opinion, when you could just as easily use YC CL for the Yacht Club Club Level.


And then the Contemporary has a whole host of overlapping names. The Main Building is called the tower, and room that face away from MK are called "Bay Lake view," but then next door is the DVC called Bay Lake Tower. Then there are suites in the Main Tower building. Rooms in the Disney Vacation Club Bay Lake Tower next door are also called suites. There is also the Garden Wing, and suites and assorted views in the Garden Wing. As if that wasn't bad enough, there are two club levels. One is called the Atrium Club level, the other is called - go figure- the TOWER Club level!

They seriously couldn't think up a name other than tower?

So it is no surprise that people use differing names for an attraction that has been renamed multiple times.
