Any construction news?
Pylons are going up all over the place. Aside from that a lot of dirt is moving. Aside from that a lot of the roadways are being diverted to accommodate construction vehicles. I feel like I4 is being built faster than these Walt Disney World roadways especially the SR536 and Buena Vista Drive interchange. Oh my God will that one ever be completed?

I miss the days of when we could get good updated aerials, that always helped to put things in perspective.

such a beautiful thing to drive into upon entry to the magic kingdom, not so magical but has needed to be done for years

I think they could have shown a rendering of this project at the D23 Expo and people would have gotten a kick out of it.
They were too busy making everyone get teary eyed with video of a deaf girl and a story about an autistic boy.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, and I think I've posted similar photos elsewhere. It looks like Disney is adding a new entrance to the Magic Kingdom North West of the park. Here are some photos of the cleared area as well as a photo of a logical road. Has this been announced anywhere?View attachment 220868

nice to see this beginning, if they do this part then they just have the middle section to finish once the mk entrance is reworked
