Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Disneyland told nearby residents construction on the Eastern Gateway parking structure is expected to continue into early 2029.
- Crews began vertical construction after a ground‑breaking ceremony on Aug. 24, 2026, that featured Disneyland Resort President Jill Estorino.
- Permit updates this fall cut the design from eight to seven levels and increased electric vehicle chargers from 302 to 316 while the plan still calls for roughly 6,000 parking spaces and a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard.
- Disney closed the Manchester cast member parking lot for construction staging, which will shift employee parking and move the resort’s bus drop‑off and pick‑up patterns during the build.
- If the current timeline holds, the garage would open after the Avengers Campus expansion and the 2028 Summer Olympics, leaving Disneyland to rely on temporary traffic and transit changes since the company has not announced an official opening date and says the schedule could change.
