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.
If every spot was taken wouldn’t the parks already be at max capacity? Keep in mind there are shuttles from airports to hotel, and from the hotel to the park. Families can visit Disney and not even rent a car and still have every basic whim or need taken care of.
I just keep thinking this land could be used for affordable multi-family housing.
I don’t think most people would want to live to a loud theme park.
Most people don’t want their bedroom window outlooking the freeway right outside their window. But space is at a premium in California, especially the southern coastal regions, and it is in the middle of a housing crisis
