Overview
- Workers United Local 50 announced that the Manchester cast member parking lot will close June 28 and told affected staff to use Katella, Harbor or Ball lots while directing them to disneycommuterassistance.com for transit help.
- Public permit records from December 2025 show filings for a roughly 3.2 million square foot east parking structure at 1585 S Manchester Ave designed to provide about 6,000 vehicle spaces plus dedicated shuttle, rideshare, and security areas.
- A demolition permit for the Team Disney Anaheim East office building has advanced, which reporters say clears space adjacent to the Manchester lot for initial demolition and site work.
- Disneyland Resort has not publicly confirmed the June 28 closure date and has said on record that construction of the garage and new gateway experience is scheduled to begin in the Fall.
- Disney presents the parking and arrival work as the first infrastructure step of DisneylandForward to support upcoming park additions, and the buildout could reshape guest arrival flow, local traffic, and many cast members’ daily commutes.
