"Expansive Entrance Overhaul Project Begins at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

I just saw this on Blog Mickey at:

I guess all four Disney parks Transportation and or park entrances are being updated now.

There’s a new arrival experience on the horizon for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and construction began this morning. Just like the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios before it, we’ll see a modified tram drop off the area soon. All of this work is in an effort to move bag check further from the main entrance to the park and provide for a smoother arrival experience for guests visiting in the future. We brought you a first look at the permit detailing the changes back in late February. Here’s an overview of that permit for reference.

Ok, with that knowledge, let’s take a look around!

We’ll start with our walk towards the main entrance from the parking lot early this morning. Two sets of walls are up, but don’t affect the route of the tram just yet. It looks like a little more construction needs to take place at what will be the new tram u-turn area.

Walking to the right from the image above, we find ourselves in the handicap lot and rideshare drop off area. Both are unaffected as of right now.

The rideshare drops off and pick up point is down to one lane, but is still operating like normal.

The sidewalk is marked up, ready for more construction.

Only 3/4 of the fence seen above is enclosed. Work hasn’t started just yet beyond the fence. While today was the start of the project, it’s the part where areas are designated as construction zones, not the part with shovels in the ground.
