Blog Mickey has found that Disney has filed plans for a new entrance into Hollywood Studios and a possible new exit to the Magic Kingdom parking lot. First, the new entrance into Hollywood Studios.
The plan for the new entrance into Hollywood Studios has been rumored ever since the announcement of Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land. While this hasn't officially been announced by Disney it definitely seems it is official with them filing for permits. In the plans it appears as it would exchange at the corner of Victory Way and Osceola Parkway and that the World Drive entrance would be demolished.
The plans then seem to show that the exchange would dump traffic into what now only a wooded area. There is also rumors that the parking lot could be expanded and that a possible parking garage would be added. This would allow the accommodation for guests to be much easier entering into the park once the new lands are open. The plans were filed to the South Florida Water Management District.
More plans were discovered as Disney appears to have filed plans for an overhaul of the Magic Kingdom parking lots. Originally thought an overhaul of the parking entrance it has been corrected by Blog Mickey to be the exit of the lots.
The exit would be a part of a larger road widening project of Floridian Way that has already begun by the North Entrance near Reams Road. As for the overhaul of the parking lot, Disney appears to want to build a flyover that would allow busses and resort traffic to bypass the toll and just continue onto northbound World Drive that would take guests to the Magic Kingdom Resort area. Then it also shows a southbound connection, this connection would greatly relieve traffic congestion on Seven Seas Drive, especially around shift changes.
Of course none of this has been confirmed, just the plans filed for both projects. Stay tuned for more details.
