All-New Parking Structure and Transportation Hub

Plans are being developed for a new parking structure and transportation hub on the east side of Disneyland Resort, specifically on part of the existing Manchester cast member parking lot. The facility will accommodate about 6,000 parking spaces and feature designated shuttle and rideshare areas, security screening, and dedicated access for traffic off of Disney Way.

Construction is expected to begin in the fall of 2026 and will be a multi-year construction project.
