Flight to the Moon was an attraction located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. It opened with the new Tomorrowland on July 2, 1967, and ran until January 5, 1975, when it was replaced by Mission to Mars due to people already having been to the moon. The Magic Kingdom version opened on December 24, 1971 and closed on April 15, 1975 for the same reason. Like its predecessor, it simulated a flight into space. The attraction was sponsored by McDonnell Douglas, which would remain the sponsor after the attraction became Mission to Mars.

Guests got a brief introduction in a loading area and entered the preshow room, Mission Control, where they were shown a preview of their upcoming flight and met Tom Morrow. Tom explained Mission Control's purpose and the vehicle guests would use to travel to the moon. Guests would exit Mission Control and go to the flight pad and board the vehicle. After guests were seated, they were welcomed by the flight's captain. A countdown began and the vehicle was launched, with the entire room shaking. As the craft left Earth's atmosphere, the seats began "floating" to simulate the change in gravity. Guests met one of the astronauts working on the moon's surface and were treated to a flight over the surface, which guests could see from the vehicle's bottom "window". Guests were then directed to look at the sun, and learned about its importance. Suddenly the vehicle became the victim of a meteor shower and began shaking as sirens went off. With everyone safe and sound, the vehicle returned to Earth.
