Walt Disney World working on improvements to road system

I suspect most people won't care about any of these improvements (though most everyone is affected by the mess at Downtown Disney), but the Center bypass and the tolls bypass back to the resort are both huge when you live on the north side of the property and cut through there frequently.

All of these are very welcome improvements. Now, if they could get with Orange County about improving access from 27 north of 192, they'd be all set. I was looking at homes in that area when we moved, but there are only two ways to get to work from that area. 27 to 192 (the Cagan's Crossing area is notorious for wrecks, blocking traffic), or an extremely long alternative route up 27 to 50, across to 429 (tolls). Contrast that with living off US 27 south of 192 and I have 3 or 4 routes I can take into the attractions area if one or more are slammed with traffic/a wreck.

It's times like these that one really appreciates RCID's existence. The ability to offer tax-free municipal bonds for theme park and resort infrastructure? Genius.

Walt was a fascinating mix of visionary genius and hard-nosed business guy. Roy was the numbers guy but Walt could take his grand vision (build his original concept for EPCOT...) and understand the practicalities (...on land spanning two counties (and their respective governments) with a company-run local government).

These look like excellent improvements.

Who is the "one" here?

An outsider who admires clever approaches...and presumably TWDC, though I can't speak for them.

Fair enough.

As tax free munis amount to a subsidy reducing interest costs (in this case to Disney), I am confident Disney is in favor as well.
