Although the attraction was not an opening day one, there were quickly plans for a PeopleMover attraction in Disney World. When the park opened in 1971 Tomorrowland was not yet complete. To help complete the land the a version of the PeopleMover was constructed along with Space Mountain. The Disney World version of the attraction was named the WEDway PeopleMover, and opened July 1, 1975. Instead of using GM tires as the Disneyland attraction, the attraction used linear induction motors. Because the attraction no longer used GM tires, General Motors decided not to sponsor the attraction. The WEDway PeopleMover was instead sponsored by the Edison Electric Institute. Another differences between the two attractions was that while the Disneyland PeopleMover featured ''covered cars with and uncovered track'', the Disney World WEDway PeopleMover featured a ''covered track with unconvered cars''.
The WEDway PeopleMover, like its Disneyland counterpart, took guests on a tour around Tomorrowland. The attraction was narrated by Disney voice artist, Jack Wagner, who pointed out the various Tomorrowland attractions to guests. When it opened, the WEDway PeopleMover originally passed through or by: The Carousel of Progress, If You Had Winds, the Circle-Vision 360 Theater, Flight to the Moon, and Space Mountain. The attraction also drove over the Tomorrowland Speedway and under the Star Jets, where the loading and unloading station is located.
