    Can I drop off and pick up visitors

    Hi Jenna,

    Thanks for visiting planDisney! The “Happiest Place on Earth” is loves to welcome all visitors to its gates. If you are dropping off a guest, there are two places where you can do so. If they are heading directly to the park, you can drop them off on Harbor Boulevard going southbound. There will be a turn-off for you to drop your guest off, and you can continue with your day. If you pass Disney Way, you’ve gone too far.

    If you miss the Harbor Boulevard turn-off, you won’t need to circle all the way back. There is a second drop-off point in Downtown Disney. Continue traveling south on Harbor, then turn west onto Katella Avenue. Afterward, turn north onto Disneyland Drive. There will be signs guiding you to the drop-off area in Downtown Disney. You have a 15-minute courtesy window for your drop-off.

    While you may not be headed into the park, I highly recommend a stop at Downtown Disney. It’s undergone a big transformation over the last year! There is lots of shopping and restaurants to try. I like to watch a game at Splitsville. I can't wait to try the new Vista Parkside Market. You can head to their upper lounge to grab a drink and overlook the downtown area. I hear that the “Birdwatcher” is delicious—it comes in a cute flamingo glass! You can also visit Sip and Sonder, an Inglewood-based coffee shop. I love supporting local businesses. Be sure to validate your parking ticket to save on parking!

    I hope this information was helpful, Jenna. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to me or one of my fellow panelists. We’d be happy to share our thoughts.

    Wishing you the best of luck!
