Space Mountain

Part of the work required for writing a book is reviewing source materials. With creation of our first iBook that involves an enormous amount of photo selections, or selects for short. Reviewing so much footage that we have taken over the past 5+ years is somewhat daunting since at last count we have well over 60,000 images of just the parks alone.

While reviewing some of the archives, we get little surprises here and there. One of them are these photos from a trip on the Peoplemover, or as it is known today, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

We tend to hop on this ride when we want to sit down for a spell while still enjoying the park. It is a great tour of Tomorrowland and on this day (October 2, 2009) was better than most; the lights were on inside Space Mountain.
