I‑4 Exit 62 Split and Seven Seas Drive Closure Reshape Disney World Car Routes
Motor vehicle access shifts to new ramps or rerouted resort entrances because overnight closures accompany a multi‑year reconstruction through 2027.
Overview
- Florida’s Moving I‑4 Forward has permanently divided I‑4 eastbound Exit 62 into two ramps labeled 62A (World Drive southbound) and 62B (World Drive northbound), forcing drivers to choose their destination on the mainline.
- Walt Disney World permanently closed the Seven Seas Drive–Floridian Way intersection on July 13, 2026, so vehicles bound for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort must now follow signage to enter via North World Drive.
- Moving I‑4 Forward has published traffic advisories that include intermittent overnight ramp and lane closures and full eastbound I‑4 shutdown windows from midnight to 5 a.m., requiring drivers to plan extra travel time.
- Shorter maintenance projects such as Fort Wilderness sidewalk erosion prevention will run through mid‑October 2026 and will alter some walking paths while resort amenities remain open.
- These local changes are part of overlapping, multi‑year programs — Disney’s Magic Kingdom‑area roadway overhaul and state I‑4 work — that will continue to change access patterns into the end of 2027 and could produce more detours and signage updates for drivers.
