Or is there an area similar to where the ART drops you off that patrons driving their own vehicles can use? Any info is greatly appreciated- thank you!

You'll find another Drop-Off area on Harbor Boulevard, just South of the Esplanade intersection for picking up or dropping off Guests who are at the Theme Park Main Entrance or who want to purchase tickets there. Please note there is a 15-minute limit to parking in either of these areas"

You would have a tough time transporting ECVs to the park. I did not read when you are planning on going-but if it is a busy time at all those ECVs that you can rent at the DLR go very quickly-and if you leave them unattended for a long period of time-CMs will take them back and rerent them. Let me know if you have any other questions in regards to ECVs-sadly they have had to be a part of our family for a long time now.
