Osceola Parkway passes directly by Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and connects World Drive to I-4. It is not clear at this time what exactly happened or the injury level sustained by all involved, let alone why a bicyclist was on a major highway. There are no designated bike lanes on any of the main roadways on Disney World Property.
