Seven Seas Drive is temporarily closed with orange barriers and signs. The construction site features a pile of dirt and a white truck in the background. Nearby, palm trees sway beside a building under the clear sky, just beyond the magical realm of Walt Disney World.

Seven Seas Drive Temporarily Closed at Walt Disney World

Both lanes of Seven Seas Drive between the entrance to the Polynesian Village Resort and the intersection with Floridian Way will be closed until February 4, 2025.

Road closed signs and orange barrels block Seven Seas Drive near a mound of dirt. Palm trees and a building are visible in the background, hinting at the enchanting realm of Walt Disney World just beyond.

Seven Seas Drive connects World Drive and Floridian Way, two heavily trafficked roads in the Magic Kingdom Resort area.

Highlighted in red is the stretch of road that will be closed temporarily. In order to get to the Polynesian Resort, guests must follow World Drive to the intersection at Wilderness Lodge and make a left turn.

Traffic on a two-lane road near Walt Disney World is lined with orange construction barrels and a digital road sign displaying estimated wait times, as cars queue behind a bus.

The caution sign reads “SEVEN SEAS DR CLOSED – FOLLOW DETOUR AHEAD,” ensuring guests know that they will be re-routed for the coming days.

The detour takes guests on World Drive as if you were traveling to Disney’s Contemporary Resort, shown in blue above. This is the same way everyone travelled to the Polynesian until the Floridian Way connection was opened in late 2022.

Wide highway with overhead signs for theme park directions, including Walt Disney World. Sparse traffic glides along under a blue sky, with some trees lining the side near Seven Seas Drive.

Although the over-head signage on World Drives still directs guests left for the Polynesian and right for the Contemporary, the road to the right is the now only option to get to the Polynesian during the closure.

This closure is part of the project to re-route roads surrounding Magic Kingdom.  The project aims to improve traffic flow heading into Magic Kingdom and surrounding resorts.
