I thought the exit ramp from World Drive to Fort Wilderness opened about a year ago, but Google Earth still shows it under construction. Can anyone confirm that it's open now?
Just to be sure, are you talking about the large resort ramp or the road-level exit for the Fort? The exit for the Fort is to the right as you head up World Dr. and, as Bj indicated, it has been open for a while now. The large ramp that exits to the left and heads to the resorts, on the other hand, is still under construction.
The large ramp to the left for the MK Resorts is OPEN. We were there 4 weeks ago and it was open for business. Fort traffic still exits to the right prior to the toll booths.

The road level exit for the Fort. We have been entering the "back way" by the softball field for the last few years to avoid having to navigate the parking booths with the motor home. I look forward to getting the full WDW entrance experience without having to worry about losing a mirror.Just to be sure, are you talking about the large resort ramp or the road-level exit for the Fort?

SO honest opinion......I will be driving alone (female) with at RAM 2500 and 22 ft trailer and 2 small grandsons. I am torn bwtween brining it to stay at the Fort and just driving my car and staying hotel. My concern is all the road construction through orlando in general when we were there January of 2018. How is the construction/traffic going now? I am not nearly as good at this rig as my husband, and he won't come just to drive us
LOL, ty, I am on a campaign for favorite grandma ....Hubby is convinced I can do it if I practice between now and July, and with this change of route I believe it may be possible....thanks, you are a doll.Countrywife45,
I'm guessing that you're coming down I95 to I4 into WDW because of your concern about road construction in Orlando.
One alternative some folks have used is to continue south on I95 below Daytona to the Titusville area and then come west on the Hwy 528 (it is a toll road) which approaches Orlando near the Orlando Airport but you can drop down onto Hwy 417 (still toll) and make your approach into WDW that way. It adds about 15 minutes and there are a couple tolls but avoids that whole I4-through-Orlando mess.
I bet the boys would like camping at the Fort so that may be a small price to pay for peace of mind. Would beat a hotel room by miles. And if you're considering towing to WDW in the first place, this change of route should be easy to pull off.
