Having scoped the area, it is very strange that Disney built a lighted walkway all the way from the magic kingdom to just outside the GF where it hits a 15-20 ft water way. They then built a walking path from the GF to the exact same location. Both of these paths lead to no where as they sit. The only thing they have not completed is the bridge over the small water way to allow you to walk from the GF (and Poly) to the MK. Right now, they have a bunch of building materials just sitting there at this same spot.
I understand they use the small water way to store the light parade water floats. It is also pretty close to where the monorail passes over the same location.
However, with more rooms being added via VGF and the new Poly DVC, you wonder if Disney will ever complete the final bridge to hookup these existing walking paths. Obviously, at one point, they were planning to do so and stopped. It would be interesting to know why they never completed it. One CM thought the monorail passed too close and it became a safety issue. However, would they really build hundreds of yards of lighted walking paths then suddenly decide it was not safe for the final 20'?
