Maybe its to help guests know which set of escalators to go up at the end of the night

It's those little touches that make the parking deck feel so distinctly Disney. A giant beach ball surrounded by railings in the middle of concrete. Oh those Imagineers!

It could have been worst. They could have made it look like a giant foosball table.

Is it a beach ball? I thought it was more like those thick bouncy ones my kids are always tossing around the toy section at Wal Mart.

Any chance Pixar Pals partially opens tomorrow? I know people have been talking about the structure fully opening, adding the 6,500 more cars, but that seems unrealistic considering that they’re going to have to funnel all the foot traffic to the one set of escalators/elevators on Pixar Pals due to the construction on the opposite side of the plaza between the structures. However, I could be wrong as access to the restrooms may be needed, but it’s still a tight squeez nonetheless. Is adding that many guests to such a small plaza area reasonable?

Hold up— I spoke to soon. New screening and boarding area is now open. Both sets of escalators will remain open, with the Mickey and Friends set being funneled through a walkway that leads to the new, completed plaza area. As I said, very reminiscent of Virgin America in there.
Looks slick!

It looks like based on the digital signs saying "Exit Only" that until they get the rest of the plaza finished they will be dropping guests back off at the same place they are picking them up.
I'm sure we will get confirmations on that later today when people start taking the trams back to the parking structure.

I think the ultimate endpoint is actually for the trams to offload roughly where they do now.
Easier for guests to figure out which set of escalators they need to head to by being outside.

Neon lights? This car park keeps getting better and better.

New unload is open, however it’s only 1 slot. So during peak times (after fireworks, park close), they’ll use some of the loading spots under the structure to unload guests, much like what they were doing previously.

i really don't think they are very concerned anymore about merchandise sales. If they did then they wouldn't have built the bypass and force people thru it.

They really went in big with the blue LED lighting, didn't they?
It reminds me of an illegal parking garage rave in East London circa 2004. But maybe that's just me.

yeah, they dropped us off back inside of the new load area and we went through an exit next to the entrance metal detectors

Pixar Pals opens tomorrow and oh man.. they better keep it fully staffed. Over 6500 extra guests (probably closer to 15-20k considering the amount of guests per car) will not be kind if they keep the current amount of screening lines open. Hope it’s not a sh** show tomorrow.
