Sunset Walk Margaritaville - November opening?

This is going to hammer the 192, traffic was mental on it in November not the crawl will take it to be fair.

This is very near to where I live. In my experience the main traffic problems are:

Holiday periods like Thanksgiving when visitor numbers rocket.

Large numbers of cars turning onto Old Lake Wilson to avoid I4.

Commuters heading west at around 5 to all the new housing on 27 and 429.

IMO Margaritaville won't actually make that much difference on what is already a busy road.

It's a massive site on the south side of the 192 between Rolling Oaks and Formosa Gardens Boulevard ... opposite Texas Roadhouse.

It is actually pretty much just across Funie Steed Rd from Emerald Island. It is just that there is no public access to the rear of the site.

The week before thanks giving week it was bad, coming back from disney off world drive before the griffin road lights it was bad. Especially on an evening. The week after... yeah nightmare. Soon as you got off world drive it was stand still and crawl up to wal mart.

Other way it went tight after formosa gardens turn off and doesnt move much till the lights at Bob evans.

Add in a few thousand more people and its going to impact it.

The junction you mention at Walmart is the Old Lake Wilson one I mentioned. I have also mentioned before that Orange Lake near the crossroad with 429 is a much larger condo development than Margaritaville. I have never seen any lines of cars waiting to turn into there. The whole area is growing continuously especially south and west of Disney. That is the biggest source of traffic outside of major holiday periods. I am sure Margaritaville won't help but I doubt it will impact a multi lane road like 192 that much.

Ah! That’s what I thought; when we were there three years ago I think there was signs it was coming!

I thought the exact same thing when we drove past it in November!

Oooh that sounds so exciting we are staying at EI again next year and it was still in the very early construction stages last year when we stayed.

Just seen it the last 24h; it’s a big old site if it stretches from the main road to that whole corner of Formosa boulevard. (If that’s the road name I mean, that we drive along past Bdubs to Emerald island).
