Surveying being done outside WDW Speedway 3/3/15.

Looks like Disney is not wasting any time with planning for the future expansion of the TTC parking lot. A giant project to say the least.

YESSSS ......oh wait, wrong speedway.

I'm looking forward to both speedways being bulldozed but I guess the adult version will have to suffice for now. I'm really curious to see what they do with the property especially with interchange improvements and additional parking.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Man, I really thought this meant the ride at MK as well. When will that leave?

 

[ChrisFL]

yeah, gets confusing, doesn't it?

 

[ImagineerDude]

Well in the title's defense, the speedway in MK is called Tomorrowland Speedway and the real one outside is called the Walt Disney World Speedway (WDW Speedway), but either way it's time for both to be bulldozed.

Given Disney's recent building trends, I predict that a new DVC-only Frozen-themed resort hotel will be taking its place.

EDIT -- And if they REALLY wanted to get creative, they'd shift the Epcot monorail track over to include a station at this Frozen resort.

I wasn't confused by the title since I actually watched the first race at Walt Disney World Speedway on Television back in 1996 when the Indy Racing League had its first ever race.

It better not be a giant roundabout.

 

[wdwfan4ver]

Thanks for the information. I was wondering when there would be surveying outside of the speedway since it will be closing after June with the Richard Petty Driving Experience leaving.

Most likely just added parking spaces. That speedway takes up a ton of room! Lots of parking spaces will be added there which is needed since the parking lot fills so fast now a days!

There really isn't THAT much Frozen stuff and what there is, is simply giving people what they want. What's wrong with that?

 

[squidward]

My guess is just more DVC.

Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament.

Given that Lion King had, what, three sequels, two TV shows, a Broadway musical, a parade, several park attractions, a spin-off album, and some would argue, its own theme park (Animal Kingdom), and Frozen's made more money than Lion King, I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen more.

Witty. Except, you know, Disney hasn't actually built ANYTHING Frozen related (one thing in progress), nor do they have a single DVC-only resort. And their last resort opened three years ago and had nothing to do with DVC.

But yeah, other than that... totally.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Meh. I won't miss the speedway. Never been there, never will. Was it ever even that popular?

 

[DVCOwner]

How about Old Key West and Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa on the park and two off park (Vero Beach and Hilton Head)

I've stayed Old Key West and Hilton Head multiple times and paid cash every one of them. I wouldn't consider something to be DVC-only unless it's restricted to DVC members in some way.

Further, the person I responded to was mocking "recent building trends," and three of those resorts are 20 years old or thereabouts and the "new" is over 10 years old.

 

[ULPO46]

I don't think Disney would build a resort where the track is. Probably feel the most logical idea is to build much needed parking. How ever because the TTC entrance gets congested during peak hours i highly doubt a resort right in the middle of the parking lot would be logical.

Some people think they have to fit in with the rest of the curmudgeon's on the site.
