I often compare Main Street during parade hours to Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras but without the drunks, beads to slip on and the horrible smell. Walk one block over; and it's smooth sailing. I think this is a great idea and a long time coming.

I was there Christmas eve and it was NOT open. They were trying to route people through the Tomorrowland Terrace to exit which was useless and meant there were several houra between parades and fireworks you literally couldn't leave. They needed it open that day and I wasn't happy to see no bypass option.

Wow! I highly doubt it'll look like that, but if it does I'll be one happy man.I just remember this was at D23 this year, it's a model from 1955 for the never built "International Street" that was proposed for Disneyland. It was suppose to be off Main Street in pretty much the same location where this bypass is going in Disney World
I was thinking this was going to be a small cheap TDO band aid. I really hope it's something similar to above.
No chance! This was going to be a mini-land for Disneyland.
Now, it were like this....

Since you're one of the aerial photography fellas, have you see any progress back in that area?

Haven't been flying for fun in a while. Once I get out of school and I'm a full time flight instructor there will be many of WDW aerial updates. Hang in there guys! Thankfully Keaton can give us updates for the time being.
It would be like a dream come true if it were anything like this.
The irony is they're spending hundreds of millions to expand in this way at DTD yet do nothing to expand the busiest retail corridor at the busiest theme park in the world. Makes sense.

So true, it's also crazy they are building an alternate route around the busiest retail corridor. Even if it is only open during peak times I'm shocked they are giving guests an option to skip Merch Street USA.

Heading for the great escape.
Itll be just like having a new attraction.

Like others have said, it looks no different than what was there before. They just removed the big white tank and some planters at the end of the parking area (which they couldn't even repave smoothly, its all kinds of uneven).

Trenching will begin on the 6th for "utilities" in the new area.

There comes a point when they really just need to get people the heck out of the park. 3rd shift has to be able to do their job at some point, and merch has to be able to re-stock.
