It was a name that was under consideration for quite awhile when they were thinking of changing the name.
The entrance pictured above is the old main entrance to DHS when the park first opened. Now it will be a Cast Member only entrance. The other existing entrance will become a bus only entrance.
The new entrance is as seen here:
I mean, when the two existing entrances are there one day and gone the next for a completely new entrance in a different place, I think it's important to make sure people know, especially with as sprawling of a property as WDW is. GPS systems won't have updated overnight.They really posted that as if it was newsworthy?
Wow. Universal's social media team should be ashamed of themselves. They've rerouted the entrance so many times over the years... and no one knew.
They haven't closed themselves in from future expansion at all... that's actually why they went against the parking garages for the moment. Much of the parking lot is actually considered park expansion.I wonder why they haven't taken the opportunity to build parking garages and free up more space for future expansion?
The expanded parking lot goes right up to the back of Indy/Star tours and I would have thought that would be the next expansion plot.

...a blog post isn’t hurting anyone and only potentially is informing. No need to make it into a bigger deal than it is.I'd love to know the percentage of guests you think are checking the Disney Parks Twitter for information related to their upcoming vacation.
Or.. they can you know.. just follow the signs.
Work on new Tram Drop off:
Has Disney given any indication when this work might be concluded? Looks they're not close.
Such an ugly and inconvenient way to enter the park right now.
Oh just change the park name to Hollywood Adventure already. It works just fine.
Welcome to Walt Disney World Park 3! Enjoy your day!Theme is dead at Disney. Long live theme.
It should be ready for SWL. So they still got just about a year left.
It's definitely still very much a mess, I mean work in progress. Once the new tram drop-off loop is complete hopefully it will be better. For now, it's still a painful walk of death to start your day, and not a great way to kick off the day.While I was never a fan of the old parking lot, the new system is somehow worse. Much more driving too and from, then after you park, the tram still leaves you a good 5-minute walk from the entrance. Not sure why they bothered running it, only took us a couple hundred yards. Meanwhile, the park's one and only exit remains a mish-mash of four lanes headed in three separate directions. Still a fan of the Christmas decor--this year even better than last year--but not inclined to visit very often in December if I have to deal with that lot.
