World Drive Phase-III

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Yeah, this is an issue, especially for road with regular heavy traffic (as I mentioned above). People that don't know what they're doing can grind things to a halt at a roundabout.

Not can…do

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Roundabouts are being built everywhere these days, at least in the southeast. I've seen a bunch of intersections removed and replaced with them in coastal NC.

It's been a huge improvement too -- the traffic flow is much better than at a four way stop sign or even a stoplight when people know how to use them correctly (which is a problem; a lot of people still treat them like a four way stop which completely defeats the purpose).

With that said, those roads don't see anywhere near the level of regular traffic that this road will. They're mainly slammed one day a week during the weekly rental changeovers.

Yeah…tried that where it was already crowded 50 years ago…
…been taking them out for the last 20

I am going to start saving up now. Can you imagine what the going rate for the rooms on new MK are resort are going to be?

The theme I heard is VERY cool…

Not at all…and I don’t think they have need current or medium term for new hotels.

I was more thinking this could be an eventual step toward moving the mk entrance area as has often been speculated

Even after all the work they’re doing to current MK parking? Or possibly just leaving options open.

New Frozen Resort and DVC?

FROZEN HOTEL CONFIRMED

New Frozen Resort and DVC?

LOL. No. Should be a hot topic around here in a few years if it comes to pass. And if it doesn’t, I’ll share what might have been.

Could you imagine the meltdown on the boards if Disney were to build a hotel this generic?

Your wish is granted…

Amelia Island, FL has them everywhere. After crossing the A1A bridge, to get to the Amelia Island Plantation, for example, you have to go through six of them.

Or try this on for size, an X interchange at A1A and I-95.

Parking lots can be dozed far easier than Disney let’s on…

but those flyovers do lead to one rumor specifically…expanding the poly with DVC into the ttc/over 7 seas drive…

freeing up the parking lot by putting it somewhere to the northwest…or even going garages on the current site…allows more prime development land on already site prepped land (in the 60s by better men) on the lagoon…

maybe they will rehash the volcano hotel concept? Or maybe they will expand MK and create a massive new pirates area like shanghai?

When is the site that cannot be named going to learn that I watermark my permit photos.

This is why the site that shall not be named has the (deserved) reputation that it does.

Well, when they steal work from @danlb_2000 and don't credit him, they should be called out. That's a real nasty thing to do.

I’m in UK where roundabouts are everywhere- literally. I much prefer them to sat waiting at lights and in a lot of scenarios they work better IMO.
They only ever put new roundabouts in when they are either taking out traffic light controlled junctions, or intend at some stage to build a new spur road off the roundabout.
You lot should visit a town called Telford in the UK (next to Ironbridge, the birth of the Industrial Revolution) . This ‘New Town’ is relatively small by US standards and has 120 roundabouts.

I’m not disputing that…

i’m just saying if the goal is attention for fee…it might be working for them.

several notable news worthy figures thrive at that too.

the appeal of stupidity. Like Seinfeld.

That surprises me actually...

Clearly, the theme of the resort will be Hammond, Indiana in the late 1950s, early 1960s and dedicate to Bob Chapek's birth and early years.
