Did they give up on replacing the road signs?

[CampbellzSoup]

We just got back, and half the road signs are still the old color, while the other half are the newer blue and yellow ones. This seemed like a simple and straightforward project to complete and standardize, yet even the LED screens are still using the old color scheme. Does anyone know if they abandoned this project?

It’s not abandoned. It’s just slow going and was also paused because of district challenges. They made it clear from the initial announcement that the changeover would take years.

The only LED screens using the old color scheme are the ones that are directly adjacent to standard signs that haven’t been replaced yet. The rest are all using the blue color scheme.

Looks like most of western way and victory way have had all their road side signs changed. Interestingly the WDW style road sign that ended up in Celebration at the end of world drive has been removed

I know most of the old purple signs were replaced around Animal Kingdom recently.

Years to replace road signs....

While it's definitely dumb, I doubt it's a Disney issue as much as a red tape issue. Road signs go through a lot of government stuff.

The large LED sign on world drive leaving Magic Kingdom that got destroyed by a truck last year still hasn’t been replaced. It’s been literally sitting on the ground next to the road for 5 months at this point

Those signs are owned by CFTOD. They’re probably waiting on the manufacturer (Daktronics) to either repair or replace the sign. I believe RCID took out insurance on the sign.

The Starcruiser exit sign was still there on my recent trip a few weeks ago

It's been slow with signs being replaced every few weeks or so. All of (or most) the Osceola Pkwy signs are the new scheme now.

...I kinda like it. But I do wish the resort had more "fun" stuff to look at throughout the resort. Wish we had character statues and what not.

Disney knows what you want to look at around the resort.

Trees and more trees?

Outside of a monorail ride along the Seven Seas Lagoon, not much to look at driving around property. Glimpses of ToT 7 SWGE from some areas... that's about it lol

Maybe they could put in animated billboards for the attractions or something......

Perhaps soon? Noticed there was a new arrival next to it today:
