Overview
- Disney will permanently close the intersection of Seven Seas Drive and Floridian Way on July 13, 2026, removing a direct link between the Polynesian Village Resort area and the Transportation and Ticket Center.
- The intersection sits between the Polynesian and the Transportation and Ticket Center parking lots and has long been a heavily used corridor for guests traveling to Magic Kingdom.
- Disney and reporting outlets say the closure is permanent rather than a temporary detour, so the intersection will no longer be part of the area’s roadway network after July 13.
- Guests should expect changed driving routes, updated signage, and on‑site guidance from Cast Members during the summer travel period as traffic is rerouted and wayfinding is adjusted.
- Outlets report this change is one element of a larger, multi‑phase modernization project around Magic Kingdom that is said to include a new traffic circle on Floridian Way and carry on through 2027, though those project details remain developing.
