New Details on MK Toll Booth Area Work Are Good For Fort Wilderness Guests

[tltay2005]

Was at the MK a couple of weekends ago and they have finally started to build the access road to the MK resorts that will bypass the toll booth. This will be so nice when finished.

Thanks for the update Terri.

For those that don't know, we covered it and how it might affect the Fort here:

I forgot you already had a thread on this. Maybe move my comment to that thread? Also, going back to that thread, it is a shame that they are clearing land when there was already a road in place close by. Maybe they wanted it to me more convenient for the other resorts. I did a google search to see if I could find more info, and WDWNews has photo report, but not much info. Here is one picture I borrowed from that site. It's a shame all those trees had to be taken out.

Can't wait to see how well (or not) it will work.

We were at the fort Jan. 2016. I used Epcot Center Dr. and exited onto Bonnet Creek Pkwy. Just cross over Buena Vista Dr. at the light, go past OKW etc. etc.
Follow to Vista and make a left, the fort will be down on the right.

I avoid most of the traffic by using the Western Way and avoiding I4.

We do both of these routes all the time. Also, we get off of 429 before the Western Way and come in behind the Magic Kingdom a lot of times.

We've also taken a number of routes, although I favor Western Way now. I'll pay the toll to not have much traffic. The biggest concern with coming in on Vista from Buena Vista is the 180 degree right turn into the Fort. With my new trailer, I'm 65 ft long. I have to swing into the oncoming lane to make the turn or I take out the lovely Disney landscaping. Depending on the time of day, Vista can be pretty busy.

We have a small travel trailer but I'm still thinking we may be better off to come in from the backside of the MK.
