I remember in the mid 2000's Mickey would be spotted on Main Street Station waving and wishing guests goodbye before the Magic Kingdom closes. I remember seeing this back in 2004 as I left the Magic Kingdom. Does Mickey still do this nowadays?
For the time being. As I understand it, once they move the parking lot exit lanes further east, they will provide (a) booth(s) directly from Floridian Way. Did I hear this incorrectly ?
Maybe they have something new in mind for the 50th?
I don’t believe that is the plan.
Nor do I. Think there will be a CM entrance to the lots but not for the GP. When they load the lots in the morning it is very helpful to only have one stream in for least staff needed and efficiency and having the few medical permits going to the disabled parking early in the stream.
If they discontinued it, then it's a shame. I loved seeing suprised guests reactions when they see Mickey waving goodbye and talking to them as they were leaving the park. I miss the little things like that, I think that used to happen at random since I didn't see that in 2006.
It's not really a high priority project as technically you can already enter from the north. It just doesn't have a big welcome Disney sign/arch.
I don’t believe the new north entrance will have a welcome arch either.
It would honestly feel a little weird having an arch back there. It’s right next to CM parking and most entering are locals anyway so an arch would seem a bit unnecessary.
I think it would need to be in the wooded area after cast parking and then wouldn’t seem to weird.
Hey I’m one of those locals. It’s just the way I see it.
Once it opens, I bet navigation apps will start directing a ton of people to that entrance from the 429 southbound.
I’m so over all the new housing developments in the area. I live in the Davenport area and things just get busier and busier and the infrastructure just isn’t there for all this additional traffic.
