New Grand Floridian Entrance Unveils This Fall
A new entrance to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort is set to open on September 10th, according to signage along Walt Disney World roadways. The exact changes that this new entrance will bring are unclear, as Disney has not made a public announcement about the update.
The change follows years of permitted plans connecting the resort to the World Drive North roadway project. A recent permit approved by the South Florida Water Management District outlined plans to extend the Grand Floridian's main entrance roadway roughly 200 feet, connecting it to a new roundabout as part of the World Drive North Phase III project.
Guests currently reach Disney's Grand Floridian Resort by way of the new roundabouts along Floridian Way, which opened to traffic on August 10th. However, it is unclear whether September 10th marks the debut of the permanent extended entrance outlined in the approved permit or just another interim step.
