Its Probably Better, But Many Flights Moving

And why the big ALERT warning like it is something terrible? I've changed terminals many times, [ATL, PHL, STL, CVG, LAS, SAN, PHX, etc.], other than MCO, I never found it to be more than a little longer walk. Are there shuttle busses involved, and time issues? Would anyone recommend routing through ORD to avoid this "terminal change". My connection times are an hour and thirty minutes and two hours, but with the small kids I would like to avoid any hassles. Thanks...
The Eagle remote terminal closed last week and they moved those flights into two different main terminals. There was sort of a cascade effect as they found places for the smallest Eagles, meaning many flights not leaving from their "traditional" gates. If you are an adaptive experienced traveler who can find a plane without an agent and expects to keep reading the boards for the frequent DFW gate changes (as you seem to be) you won't even notice. You may notice an increase in lost and confused occassional travelers standing around in the low A gates looking for the bus to the Eagles. Not harder just different.
