Probably due to the fact that in Lot A, they are opening temporary cast services trailers next week. Will reduce already problematic parking.

I dare anyone to make a "Downfall" Parody video of me reacting....

Downtown Disney traffic patterns and parking just keep getting crazier and crazier.

I know its necessary and they are trying to get it done, but it would be curious to find out how all this huge mess is affecting traffic to the vendors.

Short term pain long term gain.

And judging by recent pics, crowds have certainly not diminished. Evidently the project attracts crowds/customers.

I was at DTD this afternoon, and if folks just turn into the entrance nearest to Typhoon Lagoon, the parking lot in the back seems quite under-utilized. Yes, it does mean a decent walk if one is heading to the marketplace, but I consider it a valid alternative to parking across Buena Vista Drive.

When we went yesterday, we followed the signs for valet parking and went into the lot directly in front of the marketplace instead of going back across the street. I fussed at dh and told him the sign said the lot was full, but he found a spot within minutes and there were plenty of others. This was near noon. When we left around two that lot was even less full.

That's a great stroke of luck considering it was a weekend.

It really was! I swear, this trip was so full of great strokes of luck, it was almost creepy lol. I got onto DH and told him we shouldn't be going in that lot since the signs said not to, but it worked out quite well.

And starting Monday July 14th they are starting to change even more... Light in front of Suntrust will be removed, Right turns only out of it. Entrance 4 will be closed, due to utility work that needs to be done. Sidewalks by new parking garage, by Team Disney, removed permanently.

Plus the last week they have removed all the vegatation in from of Typhoon entrance to west to bridge, and with the stakes looks like the entrance will be moved back about 50 feet (maybe more) to accommodate more BVD lanes.
