The Disneyland Resort is at the beginning stages of expanding and today the resort released updates on the first projects planned for the long-term plans to grow the resort. Plans are underway for a new parking structure and transportation hub that will be built on the east side of the Disneyland Resort, on a portion of what is currently the Manchester Cast Member parking lot. This new area will provide approximately 6,000 parking spaces, shuttle and rideshare areas, security screening and dedicated access for traffic off of Disney Way, improving parking and traffic flow throughout the resort area.

As you can see in the artist concept rendering above from the DisneylandForward project, a parking structure has been a potential project for the long-term growth of the Disneyland Resort.

The new parking and transportation hub at the Disneyland Resort will feature a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard, leading to an all-new esplanade arrival experience. This pedestrian bridge will also provide convenient public access to and from Harbor Boulevard.
The concept art shows the pedestrian bridge going over the Disneyland Monorail so hopefully the attraction will not be effected by this portion of the project to grow the resort.
The all-new parking structure and transportation hub is one of the first steps to expand and grow the Disneyland Resort. This project is projected to be a multi-year construction project and is slated to begin in fall of 2026.

The Disneyland Resort also released updates on the first-ever Coco themed attraction and the new Avatar destination coming to the Disneyland Resort. Click here to learn more about these two new projects.
