Guests stroll by the Orange Parking Garage entrance at Downtown Disney, framed by iconic palm trees and a backdrop of sunny skies, while elevated pedestrian bridges provide seamless access to favorite shops, dining, and entertainment throughout the district.

Lots of new construction has been going on at Downtown Disney in the last couple of weeks, especially on the West Side. The new parking garage has been a welcome relief for guests and we just recently got two new entrances to the parking garage. The West Side and East Side parking connectors makes it much easier to enter and exist the parking garage with escalators, staircases and elevators from the second level of the garage.

Two new pedestrian bridges has also shown up, crossing Buena Vista Drive. The bridges will make it much easier for guests to access the Marketplace and West Side without encountering any traffic.
