A permit was filed with the South Florida Water Management District today for the widening of Epcot Center Drive Eastbound from Buena Vista Dr to I-4.
Maybe they are making a special disney bus only lane for those busy days?A permit was filed with the South Florida Water Management District today for the widening of Epcot Center Drive Eastbound from Buena Vista Dr to I-4.

That makes sense, but at this point, there's no way to get westbound from Buena Vista to eastbound Epcot Center Drive, unless I am remembering wrong. Maybe there's a loop ramp planned for that intersection in the future?I get the impression that Disney is planning to funnel as much of the Disney Springs exit traffic as possible to Epcot Center Dr.
At this moment, there is no connection, but that could change.That makes sense, but at this point, there's no way to get westbound from Buena Vista to eastbound Epcot Center Drive, unless I am remembering wrong. Maybe there's a loop ramp planned for that intersection in the future?

I'm looking forward to this change. I drive this way every day home from work. It can be a pain sometimes to merge from EB BVD to EB ECD when there's a lot of traffic. I see an accent in this area nearly one a month.I imagine its for two Lanes to exit into I-4.
Too many daft foreigners swerving all across the drive and the ramps at the last minute.
Right idea, yeah, put in a mirror of the current loop that carries traffic from westbound Epcot Center Drive to westbound Buena Vista. Up to now we're seeing lots of work to get people into Disney Springs efficiently, but not a lot on getting them out, so I have to assume there's more to come.
Both of these already exist today. You can already go from Westbound BVD to Eastbound ECD and you can also already go from Westbound ECD to Westbound BVD.Right idea, yeah, put in a mirror of the current loop that carries traffic from westbound Epcot Center Drive to westbound Buena Vista.

I meant a mirror of the currently existing westbound BVD -> westbound ECD loop to take traffic from westbound BVD to eastbound ECD. You say that you can already do that, but I don't see how.

Go back and look at the Google Maps link I posted last month. It is quite literally the driving directions you are looking for.

Ah, I see it now. Is that route marked on site?You go down to Backstage Lane, turn right, stay in the right hand lane turning onto Overpass Rd and that right no-stop yield turn puts you onto the ramp that connects to ECD/536 towards I-4. Not quite as simple as a direct ramp from BVD, but it is effective and gives some separation from the eastbound BVD to ECD ramp that has constant traffic during park hours.
