New Disneyland Parking Garage and Transportation Hub

That won't happen unless the whole block goes up for sale.

Not happening unless Anaheim invokes eminent domain like Garden Grove did at Harbor and Chapman, also not happening.
At the time that Disney bought Carousel Motel it was pointed out that these properties seldom become available on the market.

Snow Off White.

Old Dapper Dans joke from the '70s: "She was pure as the driven snow, but she drifted."

Thanks It truly encapsulated exactly how I reacted upon reading the comment.

Sorry for the confusion- was trying to come up with something as ridiculous as the idea of forcing APs to park far away. Not sure who would be left to fill the close-in garage

Where do the employees park?

Ok, just spitballing bad ideas here...

But what if Disney built an off-site parking lot (say, near Angels Stadium) specifically for AP's and shuttled them in?
In obvious addition to adding more parking on-site.

Why wouldn't they just do the same, but where eastern gateway is planned? With or without the bridge. No reason for it to be 2 miles away, and it wouldn't conflict with the harbor businesses as much because APs likely aren't staying at the hotels.

The employees aren't paying customers like the APs are.

No, but they do keep The Haunted Mansion running. That's more of a contribution than buying churros and posting photos with Captain America on Instagram.

Not knocking CMs; just suggesting that Disney will make sure APs get better parking spots than CMs.

I could see it: Anorexic Barbie, Cradle Robber Barbie, Welfare Barbie. I like it.[/QUOT

The employees aren't paying customers like the APs are.

Say, could you maybe have that interchange printed on the front of a t-shirt and wear it every time you visit the park--and make sure it's clearly visible any time you want something from a CM? Pretty please?

Only if I can use the explanation I added JUST ABOVE YOUR POST when I realized that I was not being clear about the point I was trying to make.

Guests spit on The Haunted Mansion. Employees flip the 'On' switch for The Haunted Mansion. Employees win. In fact, get rid of the guests.

Be our guest....

Does anyone know why the resort can't just build a duplicate of the current garage right next to the current one? It seems like the garage was deliberately built to allow for expansion, and the plot next to it (tram loading and whatever that small surface lot is called) looks plenty big enough. Sightlines? Too much traffic for the I5 ramp?

Because at least some of that space is allocated for future hotel expansion. Also building a garage there wouldn't address the need for easy access parking for visitors headed north on I-5.

Watch them not have any new structures built by opening day of SWL and telling guests to just deal with it. I could honestly see them capping attendance much lower at first to see what the demand will be. Or, going the route of making SWL a small upcharge/separate ticket event.

Either way, unless Disney figures out something quick and does it extremely well, SWL will be the most successful disaster the park has ever seen, and a fitting "adios" to Mr. Iger.

Chillax, those extra 224 parking spaces, or whatever it was, will be done. That's all it's going to need.

Parking is one thing...but it will also be interesting to see how crowd flow is surrounding the entrances and what sort of bottlenecks they make. I'm just envisioning Fantasmic level crowds along the river, PLUS all the added flow of SWL people...that's gonna suck.

That will just take an extra person or two with the short lightsabers directing guests. It's really not going to be noticeable. I don't think anyone is really looking forward to SWL anyway.

I know one person here who definitely isn't lol.

Not being Disney’s garage probably plays a role.
