Disney Springs Bars Overnight Parking and Opens Garages at 7 a.m. on Merchandise Days

Overview

• Disney Springs began enforcing the policy on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, closing parking garages overnight and reopening them at 7 a.m. on special merchandise event days including Pin Tuesday.
• The rideshare pickup and drop-off loops follow the same rule so Uber, Lyft, and other services cannot access Disney Springs before 7 a.m. on those event mornings.
• Wristband distribution for merchandise drops has been moved to a single line at the Lime Garage so every guest, including those using elevators for accessibility, joins one unified queue.
• The change replaces voluntary signage with access control at the garages and aims to end predawn camping, level the field for collectors who used to sleep in garages, and reduce safety and operational headaches.
• Footage showed similar early-morning crowding at Disneyland on the same morning but Disneyland has not announced matching rules, and other Disney sites may watch Disney Springs as a model.
