Not sure how accurate these boards will be in relation to actual conditions... but just wanted to pass that FYI out.

They could put up a naked Minnie Mouse up there and no one will look! Also, there are 12 stop lights too many in that quarter mile stretch of BV dr. The efforts are appreciated but I honestly believe Disney wasted their money on this, instead of spending it where it matters.... like rehabbing the MK for example?
