“D” Ticket

You’ll pass through the hollow Matterhorn

After taking off from a small Alpine chalet in Fantasyland, you’re on your way to Tomorrowland. The view from up here is wonderful! And there’s always a breeze on a hot summer day.

Now you’re entering the mighty Matterhorn mountain. Why, it’s hollow inside! Screams from terrified Bobsled passengers echo within the great hollow chamber.

To return from Tomorrowland, you may want to take the Skyway to Fantasyland—but it will cost you another “D” Ticket.


For a history of the Skyway at Disneyland, see Skyway to Fantasyland.

Today, the attractive Skyway station in Disneyland’s Fantasyland remains as a reminder of the Skyway attraction. At least the landscaping around it looks great.

After November 9, 1994, Disney park guests could still ride the Skyway between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland—but only at Walt Disney World in Florida. On November 9, 1999, exactly five years after the grounding of the Skyway at Disneyland, the Skyway at the Florida’s Magic Kingdom carried its last guest. It had been a popular attraction since the park opened in 1971.
