Who is Tom Morrow?
Tom Morrow is a whimsical character created by Disney for the “Rocket to the Moon” attraction, an early Tomorrowland attraction at Disneyland that opened in 1955.
oiced by George Walsh, Tom Morrow served as the “Chief Flight Control Officer,” guiding guests through a simulated flight experience to the moon. His name is a playful nod to “Tomorrow,” fitting the futuristic theme of Tomorrowland.
In “Rocket to the Moon,” Tom Morrow provided commentary and information throughout the journey, explaining the different phases of the moon expedition. His persona was lighthearted yet informative, designed to make the experience engaging for visitors while embodying Disney’s optimistic view of space exploration.
Although the attraction eventually evolved into “Mission to Mars” and was later replaced by other space-themed experiences, Tom Morrow remains a memorable figure for Disney fans, symbolizing Disneyland’s early visions of space travel and innovation. He later inspired other Tomorrowland references, such as the character “Tom Morrow” in the “Tomorrowland Transit Authority” at Walt Disney World, keeping his legacy alive in Disney’s futuristic storytelling.
