Disneyland Files Permit for 8-Story, 3.2 Million-Square-Foot East Parking Garage

The move marks the first phase of an Eastern Gateway arrival hub meant to support upcoming expansions, with construction targeted for fall 2026.

Overview

  • City of Anaheim records show the application covers 1585 S Manchester Ave on the resort’s east side, a site currently used as a cast member parking lot.
  • Plans detail an eight-level structure of about 3.25 million square feet with roughly 6,000 spaces, 302 EV chargers, rideshare and shuttle zones, and new security screening areas.
  • A pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard is included to link the facility to a reimagined esplanade for guest entry.
  • The filing calls for core-and-shell construction as a multiyear project, and the permit remains pending issuance.
  • Disney frames the garage as foundational infrastructure for forthcoming additions such as two Avengers Campus attractions, a Coco boat ride, and an Avatar land at Disney California Adventure.
