I understand it was supposed to have happened on the 12th, but I had trouble finding videos or physical confirmation that he indeed went silent. I suppose the above link proves so.
Not really directly MK related, more MK resort area, but since we don't have a thread for the MK roadwork and it's finishing up, i'll just post this here.

A single new lane caused headaches. This is not going to be a fun Fall.
As long as they get very clear signage up, it shouldn't be that bad. People don't pay attention though so inevitably this will cause headaches for even those who have been going for years and are used to going through the autoplaza to get to the resorts.
In the long run it makes everything easier though. I certainly know as a local I can't wait for this to open as I cut through here all the time.

The signage has been very confusing lately, they would move the signs around every other time I visited.
Ever since the WDW Speedway closed and they expanded the MK Parking lot in 2014 or 2015 there's been an abundance of work going on in this area. It's finally finishing up so hopefully things will become a little more clear going forward.
There are frames up for signs across World Drive to clearly delineate which lane goes where. The small, temporary signs were very confusing to guests but the new signs will go a long way to clear up the flow of traffic and which lane goes where.
Sadly, it is easier to just assume around here that as soon as a road changes (lanes, new exit opening/closing, etc) that there has already been at least one accident

Thats nice. When I worked at Jungle Cruise, during rehab we had to shovel up the muck into wheelbarrows and manually haul it up out of the track (You would not believe how much muck and junk accumulates in the hippo pool - lowest part of the ride). It was with our a doubt, the nastiest work I ever did. (I still cant believe us hourlies did that instead of a specific crew).
Rivers of America refurb extended once again. Originally scheduled to re-open in July, it is now scheduled for December 21.
