News Improvements coming to the entrances of all four Walt Disney World theme parks

I'll take a guess and say a month till IG is done. Probably due to the Skyliner.

Unless they get ahead, IG is scheduled to finish after the cable cars open.

But the IG is open for those of us staying at either BC or BW, isn't it? Or are we forced to bus to the front for now?

It's open. Martin means the new IG entrance won't be done until after the Skyliner opens. The current IG entrance is super tiny and wall city.

This is totally off topic but when I saw those awnings at first I wondered why Disney has the Google Maps logo plastered everywhere at the TTC.

I'v not followed this closely enough - if they are basically just redoing the loop, what's the big change at AK? I though the the redos were for putting in better screening stations, but they had plenty of room already.

Also, note to self: don't drive to AK until work is done if tram drop-off is further out than bus drop-off! Good thing next trip is a DME trip.

They're pushing everything out further. The tram will turn around sooner and the new checkpoint will roughly be at the current tram drop off area.

Ah, they're ready to pour the bases for the MK Gondola extension, I see.
