/* Attraction Plot */
In 2009 in conjunction with the Space Mountain refurbishment the Tomorrowland Transit Authority was once again closed for refurbishment. Disney said that it was necessary to close the attraction, so that maintenance workers could work on Space Mountain. When the attractions reopened, the word PeopleMover was added to the end of Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Besides just getting a name change, the attraction also received a new narration. The narration eliminated the New Tomorrowland backstory, and many of the in-jokes and references that came with it. New attractions such as Stitch's Great Escape! and The Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor were added to the narration. The narration is now done by Mike Brassell, who narrates the attraction in a much quieter and emotionless way. During the time the Mike Brassell has narrated the attraction, the only major change has been the re-addition of the famous Tom Morrow line. Following the 2009 refurbishment of the attraction, almost all of the unique and creative lines from the narration were removed. After receiving many complaints the reference to Tom Morrow was added back inside Space Mountain. In the new narration the ride vehicle is referred to as Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover instead of the TTA Metroliner.
==Attraction Plot==
The plot of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority revolves around guests taking a tour of Tomorrowland. Orginally, this involved pointing out the various attractions located in the land. With the creation of the New Tomorrowland in 1994, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority also told the backstory of the New Tomorrowland and the narration became more creative. Since the 2009 refurbishment the attraction has gone back to being a simple tour of Tomorrowland.
 
===WEDway Peoplemover Plot (1975-1994)===
On the WEDway Peoplemover, guests would enter their trains from the moving platform. After leaving the loading area, the PeopleMover would head towards [[Mission to Mars]]. The narrator would point out the attraction, and also mention that across the way, guests could see [[America the Beautiful]]. This part of the attraction was changed when America the Beautiful became [[Magic Carpet Around the World]] and then again when American Journey's replaced that. After passing Mission to Mars, the trains would enter a tunnel, where guests could see the model for [[Progress City]]. The narrator would tell guests that this was a preview of the future in the City of Tomorrow. After exiting the tunnel, the PeopleMover passed over the [[Grand Prix Raceway]]. Besides pointing the attraction out, the narrator would also tell guests that [[Space Mountain]] was ahead. After the train went into Space Mountain, the narrator pointed out RCA's Home of Future Living, which was located in the post-show. PeopleMover riders could get excellent views some of the post-show scenes. The narrator would also remind guests that they did not have to ride Space Mountain to see the Home of Future Living.
 
As the trains left Space Mountain, the narrator pointed out the [[Skyway]] which hung above guests. He also informed them that there were "no moving parts in these clean, quiet motor". The narrator also pointed out that across the way, guests could see the Contemporary Resort, and the monorail that ran through it. After seeing the hotel, riders would move past the [[Carousel of Progress]]. As they did, the narrator would tell them some of the history behind the attraction, including its introduction at the 1964 World's Fair. As the PeopleMover continued on, it would enter a tunnel which ran alongside [[If You Had Wings]]. Originally, when passing through this tunnel guests look down into the attraction through three windows. The first window showed the Trinidad scene, the second window the Jamaica scene, and the the third window the Mexico scene. As the PeopleMover went through the tunnel, the If You Had Wings theme song would play. After If You Had Wings was replaced by Delta Dreamflight, the left window was covered.
 
After exiting the tunnel, the narrator would tell guests that:
