NEWS: New Tomorrowland sign installed at Magic Kingdom

Tomorrowland now has signage once again, as a new, sleeker design was installed over the past week at Magic Kingdom.

This new sign is, according to Disney, “part of a cleaner, sleeker” vision for Tomorrowland. It features smooth, futuristic clean lines and an all-white color scheme. The new sign also abandons the former ITC Anna font for a squared, more modern type.

The original sign was removed this past July to make way for the new look.

This is the latest in a series of exterior changes to the land, which include new paint jobs on the land’s show buildings and the rocks at the land’s entrance, and a similar, mid-century modern-inspired sign for Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.

Tomorrowland will get its biggest change yet when TRON Lightcycle Run opens in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World in 2021. This new attraction will feature a similar futuristic feel, taking riders on a journey to the Grid on their very own lightcycle.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
