Adventureland Bridge Refurb?

[Commander Cody]

Anyone know if the work on the Adventureland bridge finished? I saw this post from last week: https://notesfromneverland.com/news/adventureland-bridge-being-refurbished-in-the-magic-kingdom/

It doesn't appear parade floats would be able to pass if the bridge is still in this state.

FYI, MK parades don’t use that Adventureland bridge (or go through Adventureland). Parade routes (FoF, MNSSHP, & MVMCP) use the Liberty Square bridge.

Agreed. Parade route is the green line below.

Bridge is not finished. We were there yesterday and they are still working on it.

That's too bad. I always loved how the curved bridge transitioned Main Street from Adventureland. Hopefully they will complete it soon. Thanks for confirming, and thanks for the clarity that parades do NOT use this bridge (not sure why I thought they did).

You can still walk across it but there is only enough room for a few people side by side at a time.

Any idea when the bridge work will be complete?

The bridge was changed from curved to flat several years ago

My memory must be getting really bad. First, I thought parade floats went over this bridge. Then I was sure (last year) this was a curved bridge...so when you’re on one end you couldn’t see the other end.

Yes and then you get angry people who are walking into you because you and your family are walking single file all the way to the right into Adventureland where as all the people leaving are not single file and taking the whole bridge. The angry person couldn’t understand why I was not budging to let him go thru me!

Lol, maybe it’s odd that I “liked” your post about losing your memory. But you are not alone here. I’ve been fortunate enough to go to Disney since 1977, and I can tell you that my memories borrow from all four decades, mixing and matching memories and years like the leftover socks in the bottom of the clean basket - surely this gray sock matches this gray/white one.

1. Then I was sure (last year) this was a curved bridge...so when you’re on one end you couldn’t see the other end.

1. When you say "curved," do you mean "arched" (higher in the middle than at each end?)

2. I don't recall it ever being like that... not that much arch.

Well, that is everywhere at Disney... Will be nice after this vacation and can walk a straight line somewhere without people walking in to me or just stopping in the middle of a walkway....

We are a family of 5. 98% of the time we walked single file to rides.

I have kids, have brought kids with strollers and this trip I realized I hate the side by side double strollers. They are so wide, no one can safely walk! I brought strollers but a single or double back to back and it was a joovy so small!

I am old and not as tolerant!

Yes..I meant an arch, not a curve. From what I (mis)remember, the apex of the arch would actually block the view from Adventureland when viewing from Main Street. Clearly I am not remembering correctly looking at these images. I will just write this off as my own personal Mandela effect.

This was my favorite thread of the day lol. I was totally on board with the arch when you mentioned it and now you've spread the Mandela effect to me! Lol.

The bridge sure felt more arched than that picture looks. I remember being really tired walking over it at the end of the day. lol

Wow, that’s a tight squeeze for a hot August day. I can’t imagine how much fun that would be during rush hour.
