Disney Repaints Minnie Lot at Hollywood Studios to Add Disabled and Pick‑Up/Drop‑Off Spaces

Seen by reporters as a test to ease rideshare-related curb congestion, the repainting has no official rules or timeline from Disney.

Overview

  • Crews repainted the Minnie lot outside Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Saturday and added more disabled parking near the entrance plus several new guest pick-up/drop-off-only spaces.
  • Disney has not said whether the markings are a temporary trial, who may use the pick-up spots, what time limits apply, or how cast members will enforce the spaces.
  • Multiple Disney-focused outlets traced the update to on-site reporting by WDW News Today and independently corroborated the newly painted spaces.
  • Guests who rely on rideshare services or disabled parking are likely to be affected and are advised to allow extra time, follow cast-member directions, and confirm pickup locations with drivers.
  • Park operators likely chose Hollywood Studios as a pilot because its tight arrival area and heavy morning crowds concentrate curb and parking demand, and success here could lead to similar changes at other Walt Disney World lots.
