OK, just out of the Shower, so IF no deal with the Angels can be made, here is the Partnership I would propose to Disney. (BLUE SKY)
The City of Anaheim would build a SUPER Parking Structure (More than likely a set of them on the Angel Stadium land, and if room, also a mixed use project, using Disney or someone else to build it in return for a share of the profits. (Housing required).
I would want the Ball and Harbor property for city use (next to the CM Lot is a school and Social Security Office, so build a new facility on the combined land).
The Pumbaa Structure would not be built, but now the entire land becomes a Transit Center with a large security check for Disney.
The Mickey and Friends and Cleo Structures now become parking ONLY for CM's and registered Hotel Guests. All Theme Park Guests park now in the city owned structure.
Simba is now open for Development, say a 4 Diamond Hotel that ties into the Convention Center (so no wild theming, more muted). But still room for a couple other Hotels.
The Katella Lot and part of Toy Story now opens up for theme park development, though maybe switch the Simba project, so Hotels here, and the Theme Park off Disneyland Drive.
Make Gene Autry curve if needed to connect it to Convention Way.
Convention Center expansion where its current Parking Structures are.
Disney required to build multiple Pedestrian Bridges in the resort area, including multiple ones over Harbor near the Transit Center.
And the kicker, help build a new elevated light rail system in Anaheim. Multiple tracks to go to the following.
One spur would go down Gene Autry to Harbor and head north. Stops at the Convention Center, the new Transit Plaza on Manchester. Selected trains then go up to Broadway or Lincoln and head west to Beach and the planned 39 Commons site. If Buena Park becomes a partner, then a stop at Knott's and the new Butterfly Pavilion. Buena Park runs a shuttle from the Butterfly Pavillion to the Source and Buena Park Downtown Shopping Malls.
Another would go to the Honda Center (ARTIC would use the parking structure directly), then to Downtown Anaheim and the Ctr City/Packing District. End at the Harbor/Lincoln Station to connect to the main line.
Give OCTA permission to continue its new light rail from Santa Ana to use elevated tracks to the convention Center Stop and transfer.
Fullerton and Anaheim could partner for a train from the Fullerton Transit Center down Harbor to the Lincoln Station.
City gets all parking revenue at the Super Parking Structure, plus would operate the Train System. Disney could opt to pay for its guests in a lump sum, based on turnstile counts.
The Parking Structure would commit to only handicapped spaces on the level that the train station is on so no need for elevators or any sloped ground. At other stations, elevated bridge pathways or ADA sloped ramps. (Elevators area a pain,and can be GROSS (using LA Metro as a good example, smells like a badly kept restroom, because of its second use...)
This provides a new, LARGE steady stream of income, which would cover the low interest bonds used to build everything, operating expenses, plus a share to go straight to the General Fund.
Also maybe get Disney to voluntarily agree to agate tax to provide even more revenue.
In return, state that no PLA's can be used to build things, and to add wording to the city charter that makes Anaheim a right to work city in return for a higher minimum wage in the resort district, say $2 more than the State's minimum.
Also "God" would get unlimited visits and free food/drink at all Disney owned properties
Need to get going, a lot to flesh out, but something I see as a win-win for everyone, including locals near Anaheim that deal with traffic in the area. (Build direct on/off ramps from the I-5, and the 57.)
Edited to add - The Parking Structure Trams would convert to a Backstage Tram system, so instead of turning towards DtD, head through the Gate and circle around the resort.
