Overview
- Aerial photos published Monday show crews have reduced the four eastern esplanade ticket booths to rubble, leaving two in-person booths still operating at the entrance.
- Disney filed permits in mid-August to remove the four booths and began work on the wider phased project soon after, with construction walls and demolition activity visible around the site.
- The cleared area is being prepped for an elevated pedestrian bridge that will link the esplanade to a new parking and transportation hub where Disney has already broken ground.
- Permit filings and reporting describe the new garage as roughly 6,000 spaces with 302 electric vehicle chargers, dedicated rideshare and shuttle zones, and a security screening area.
- Disney has not released a detailed public timetable or final design and preservation plans, so visitors should expect multi-year construction and changes to guest circulation as DisneylandForward progresses.
