Looks cool but not a necessity when the speed limit is only 20 MPH
 
That reminds me of something we saw on Monday as we were getting ready to leave. They were painting these lines, and had cones set up, and a guy directing traffic. Well as we went by, we saw a TT sitting in the parking pull off in front of the Meadow. There was a Disney truck behind it, and we didn't think anything about it, but when we came back by, there was disney PoPo, and some management types etc all around, and we saw the reason. This poor guy was pulling out of the 800 loop, it looks like they directed him to miss the wet paint, and instead of getting a little yellow on his tires, he clipped the corner of the bus pavillion, and put a nice size gash in the side of his TT. The corner of the bus stop was nicely rounded now, and the management types were pointing and taking pictures. I hope things worked out for this guy, what a crappy way to end your trip to disney.
 
Let this be a lesson....always know where your rear tires are when you are turning. The heck with the stripes and anyone who may be directing you!!!

I'm truly sorry for the guy who wrecked his trailer. I'm guessing he was a novice at pulling one because he wasn't looking far enough ahead to plan for the unexpected. He should have pulled to the far left of the exit in order to make a clean right turn. If he couldn't do that, he should have rolled down his window and told the guy to get out some rags and lacquer thinner to clean the paint off the road from his tire tracks. I would have done that before ruining my TT.

It would be interesting to know if Disney is going to pay for his damage. My guess is - probably not.
 
That bus stop needs to be moved or poles put in to mark the corner. While we were there over Halloween I noticed that the corner had been hit and repaired (not very well or I would not have noticed it) But then again how many time did the guard shack up front get hit before they did something about it.
 

The bus stop at 300 was originally located between the entrance and exit to the loop. I can't tell you how many times that got hit - once so badly, it knocked the support pole and the roof collapsed. Disney finally had the brains to move the bus stop across the street. People with the BIG MH's usually cut the turn too close (which easily happens with the 38' and over variety) and if you're not watching the rear wheels - KA-BANG!!! I've seen people take out gas pumps doing the same thing.
