Now for some random pictures around Tomorrowland. Here is the Grand Prix Raceway, or the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway as it is now known. And in the distance you can see the Skyway. Walt Disney World's Skyway was the first to make a 90-degree turn, at an intermediate station of sorts in the middle of the Raceway tracks.

Inside Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe, Sonny Eclipse can be found singing some of those popular space lounge songs, as well as telling some interesting jokes. But he has been known to let others use the stage, such as high school bands and orchestras.

Although some of the tall palm trees were removed during the renovations, some new trees took their place. These futuristic looking trees can be seen as you approach Space Mountain.

X-S Tech is now giving demonstrations of their teleportation device in the Interplanetary Convention Center. This used to be the home of Mission to Mars, and before that the Flight to the Moon.

The former Tomorrowland Theater is now the Galaxy Palace Theater at Rockettower Plaza, as the center area of Tomorrowland is known. This theater was the home of the Galaxy Search character show.

And finally, a look at the new Tomorrowland at night. The lighting at night makes everything much more colorful, giving the land a completely different look at night. I always enjoy strolling through at night just to check out all the lighting, a great way to close out an evening at the Magic Kingdom.
