Disney Springs East Parking Garage construction

Posted: Tuesday June 2, 2015 10:20am EDT by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work continues to move at a fast pace on the second of the Disney Springs parking garages.

Smaller than the already open Orange (west) garage, the east garage is being built on the former parking lot area behind World of Disney.

That's true. Usually though, that is something that stays. Disney, also, usually fixes things like that.

Let's wait until after the Holidays are over and see if they leave it or not. This seems to me like one of those quick, stop gap measures in order to make things less complicated for the busy next few weeks. I would expect permanent signage after that, but we'll see.

wow that's crazy. how about some signage instead

DisneyJayLDec 12, 2016

I was there before they did all of that. It isn't like you can't get to the second level to part. This was cheaply done and kind of upsetting.

DisneyJayLDec 12, 2016

Not at all. I believe that they should have put up a sign. What they've done looks tacky.

Right. There are two lanes for cars to turn left into the Lime Garage. Previously, the left lane would go to the bottom floor, and the right lane would go to a ramp to upper levels. That caused confusion, and I and others frequently saw people panicking to get over to the right lane after the turn. Now Disney appears of have decided to force everyone into the right lane after the turn. Not the best idea IMO.

Just looks like in the picture that's the lane to get into the Lime garage. It was confusing driving up on it. Seems like the shut down the one lane leading to the bottom floor.

If you're talking about the bus lane as being "shut down", they expanded the road, so there's just as many lanes for cars as before (maybe more).

DisneyJayLDec 12, 2016

I was just down there. It was a bit confusing riding up on it. You can quickly figure it out. They shouldn't have shut down a whole lane though.

What the h? Surely that's a stopgap until they come up with something better? This doesn't solve the problem.

TimeTripDec 12, 2016

Well, looks like they noticed the turn lane problem. Not sure if I agree with the solution...

I've lived in Florida before and the signage at WDW still confuses me from time to time. I have made the wrong turn, missed an exit, or have been in the wrong lane at the wrong time. What are we supposed to do? Continue with that path and make the next available (legal) u-turn or circle back to the original mistake point and make the correct decision. What do we see too many people do at WDW when they encounter the same situation? That's right. They come to a complete stop on a VERY busy road and put on a blinker, or they just go ahead and make that left-hand turn from the far right-hand lane. This is EXACTLY how I feel about these people: (WARNING: Language)

I see people on world drive cut over the grass all the time because they follow the signs for Hollywood Studios but then see what they believe to be the entrance. It IS confusing and I don't know why the signage doesn't just direct them to the back entrance.
