I haven’t done any technical calculations. On a quick glance I’d say all of this parking is about half the size of the park itself. Very little parking inside the main park boundaries, which is mostly for service vehicles (these spaces aren’t highlighted).
Just something I was curious about, it’s wild how much we accommodate, and how much space we waste, for cars.
Edit: not shown is the large lot southeast of the park. It is about three times the size of the lot to the southwest. There are other lots further outside the picture that add additional parking space not shown. Thanks to RvTV95XBeo for pointing this out.
A real eye opener here is that Disneyland is only around 2000 feet, or 6 and a half average-ish city blocks, wide. But it feels much larger because all the paths are deliberately designed to be meandering and there’s no way to just walk straight across it.
The design of Disneyland is astonishing to be fair, how everything is cleverly hidden away, all the forced perspective and general systems in place.
