Originally Posted By monorailblue Parking Structure is more like it, since it is called the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure, not the Mickey and Friends Parkade. So sorry to mention it.
Originally Posted By Disneylandgirl We got caught in the traffic jam. Was directed to Katella, then rt. on Harbor. Ended up in the Buzz Lightyear Lot. Didn't know there was one. It turned out great. We were taken to the park by a nice, air conditioned charter bus. Ended up to be a lot less waiting then the regular tram. As far as crowds, it didn't seem overly crowded. I've seen a lot worse.
Originally Posted By submarine-maniac I think the Buzz lot is connected to the Pongo lot which is connected to the K Lot which is where CMs park. We had a bit of a problem with guests coming into the lot trying to use the CM shuttle. It's nice that you got shuttled to the park. That would have been a long walk. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to do that walk...

Originally Posted By oc_dean It was 80 degrees today (Sunday). I'd call that a "summer" day. Tomorrow, chance of cloudiness with rain in the forecast. Calling for a nice "autumn" type day. No such thing as winter here. LOL That's why the region is populated with 17 million people.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<I love how ya'll keep calling a parkade a parking structure>> Seems like in many places (here in the USA) they are also called parking decks, or parking garage. I have never heard the word parkade, which frankly sounds stupid... like the name of margarine, or someplace that is supposed to be fun and entertaining i.e. "Hey kids, let's all go to the parkade!"
Originally Posted By topdisneymom I think it is going to be crowded for the rest of the year because of all the promotions that are going on right now. Free admission on your birthday for 2009, the two parks for the price of one, and now you can do monthly payments for your annual pass.
