Hi Jodi!
Welcome to planDisney! We're so glad to see you hEAR. Thank you so much for sending this
Disneyland Resort vacation planning question our way!
Oh Boy! This sounds like the most magical family vacation indeed with room for all of the junior Mickeys, mini Minnies, and Mouseketeers! I'm very happy to say that yes, your
van is welcome to park in the
Toy Story Parking Lot which is located a bit southeast of the main Disneyland Resort 'bubble'. This area is safe, well illuminated, and best of all provides shuttle busses from and back to the lot. Technically this is the location where all 'Oversized Vehicles' are asked to park, which include full-size busses, vehicles with trailers, RVs, campers, etc.
I would think that your
van would also be fine in the
Mickey and Friends or Pixar Pals parking structure, which is on the northwest corner of the Disneyland property. I love that this location has covered parking and a massive security check on the ground level. This lot features my son's favorite ride,
the parking lot tram. The maximum height for this lot is 13 feet 10 inches, so if your van fits under that range then it's welcome hEAR too.
Scroll down to the bottom of this Parking link for a map of the Disneyland Resort. Click the 'Disneyland Park' dropdown and then on the first two selections for a specific map of both the Toy Story Lot and the Parking Structure.
Bonus Tip: hEARs a handy page for
Guests driving to Disneyland Resort.
I hope that this helped to better plan your upcoming Disneyland days, Jodi! Be sure to check out the
official planDisney Instagram account for all kinds of neat tips and tricks. We even just launched the
brand new planDisney Podcast, and the latest episode is all about Halloween time in the theme parks. It was even
filmed inside The Haunted Mansion! Thank you again so much for this great question. And If you have any more Disneyland Resort vacation planning questions, We're All Ears!
