Walt Disney World filed a permit last year to reroute Floridian Way as part of an ongoing project to improve traffic outside Magic Kingdom. The project, which is run by Reedy Creek Improvement District, now seems to be paused.
Bioreconstruct shared aerial photos of the project’s current status on Twitter and said in a reply that it looks abandoned.
There has been no significant progress on the project for some time. No construction vehicles or materials are visible in bioreconstruct’s photos.
The pause could be due to the impending dissolution of Reedy Creek, thanks to a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. We previously reported on the possible delay of new solar arrays at Walt Disney World. It wouldn’t be surprising if other construction projects are halted, too. DeSantis — who pushed to dissolve the district after Disney publicly condemned Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill — says he has a plan regarding the dissolution but hasn’t shared details. Residents of nearby counties are suing DeSantis over the dissolution.

So, they STARTED a road project, and now that it’s an eye sore, and possibly negativity effecting traffic, they want to just stop. Well, after the court proceedings are over, they will probably be ordered to put it back to the way it was, or finish the project. Try building a house on your own land, (which this is NOT, it a public road), and half way finish the construction, and then just stop You would be ordered to finish the project, or the city would bulldoze it all, and send you the bill, while putting a lien against the property until paid. Disney isn’t really it’s own government, and this just proves they shouldn’t be.
Desantis only cares about getting press for 2024. He doesn’t care if the residents pay for this dissolution of Reedy Creek by paying 25% higher property taxes. Disney has done a fantastic job running and maintaining Reedy Creek. When you leave WDW property you feel the huge disparity in maintenance.
You’re right, I felt a huge disparity in maintenance when I went to Universal and the rides weren’t breaking down constantly like at WDW.
Facts are NO company should have the right to skirt local government and law like Disney does. You’d think liberals would be for this, but when it comes to a company that pretends to support them they’ll defend just about anything.
