I read an article about this several months ago because at that time, only permits had been filed and things (I guess) were still in the planning phase. But from the last article I read about this, it has been confirmed that there WILL be a new entrance into the parking area at Magic Kingdom and it is planned to be completed by 2018.

Here is a description of the changes then I will post a picture:

Buses will no longer need to drive by the Ticket and Transportation Center when leaving the Magic Kingdom.

Guests at the Magic Kingdom Resorts (Contemporary, Polynesian Villages, Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge) will no longer need to travel through the Magic Kingdom parking gates.

Guests driving to the Magic Kingdom will enter the parking lot closer to the former Speedway area.

I found information that starting November 14th that a new ramp will allow guests to bypass the Magic Kingdom Plaza if they want to head to the Magic Kingdom Resort area or Disney University. Using the picture in the previous post, this new ramp is represented by the blue-ish color triangle closest to the top of the picture.

Here is another picture...

Thanks for the updates above, I'm sure they will make it easier for someone.
I'm not sure it would be us, we haven't driven to WDW since 2003, at that time so much changed from the earlier days.
prior, there were not that many roads to take. Now as I sit on the Magical Express and observe the new roads I just become grateful I no longer drive.
