Party Parking Woes

Post by CBeilby » Tue Dec 06, 2005 3:34 am

Ok, was it just me, or did Parking's upper management manage to completely screw things up tonight? I don't recall hearing anything at all about the only entrance for parking being the Disneyland Drive entrance to Mickey and Friends? Admittedly, I've been a gorram pincushion for much of the last week (gotta love diabetes sometimes :mad: ) and hadn't been in a position to see much if any relevant information. But still, when there's a line on Walnut halfway back to Magic Way JUST TO TURN RIGHT ONTO BALL ROAD, you know there's something wrong...

I took Katella to Disneyland Dr and did the u-turn thing (Remembered last year's experience with the Magic Way's Enterence Closed). The intersection of Ball and DL Dr was being monitored by APD and the signal was a blinking red. Made things look REALLY nasty with all the day guests leaving.

So what does this mean for me tonight? Lol. You're freaking me out. Do I need to leave my house earlier?

Yep, parking was left to upper management....as usual. Why does this not surprise us? :rolleyes: Parking freaks me out every year too Lost. There is no easy method. Trust me!! No gray hairs for you this time :D: Done this since 99 :eek:
Am leaving 2 hrs. early after my Co. D. run. See you in a line someplace ]

The thing that surprised me was that the flyover was open to southbound traffic (into the structure). I know they're capable of running the flyover with one lane in each direction instead of two lanes north or southbound - I saw it today. That would have helped the outbound traffic, not to mention ease the bottleneck I had to go through.

And did anyone else who got there before 8:00 on Monday get annoyed at the guests' horn symphony? They wouldn't stop blowing their horns! Kinda like those clowns who feel they have to blow their horn in a tunnel just to hear the echo.
