New Rideshare and Disabled Parking Added at Hollywood Studios
Published September 5, 2026 · Updated September 30, 2026
According to reports, Disney is reconfiguring sections of the parking lot at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to add new disabled parking and dedicated guest pick-up and drop-off spaces. As of Saturday, September 5, 2026, newly painted lines designating these areas have appeared in the Minnie lot near the park entrance.
The updates introduce additional disabled parking capacity closer to the front gates. Alongside these spaces, the lot now features designated areas specifically for guest pick-up and drop-off.
This addition points to a logistical issue the park has been dealing with for years. Because the infrastructure was designed before rideshare became a primary arrival method, pick-up and drop-off zones frequently become chaotic with personal cars and hired drivers from Uber, Lyft, and Minnie Vans all competing for the same curb space.
What we know
- Minnie lot (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) — New disabled parking spaces have been added near the park entrance.
- Guest pick-up and drop-off — Several new parking spaces designated specifically for pick-ups and drop-offs have appeared in the same section.
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not officially announced these changes or detailed exactly how the new spaces will be managed for rideshare drivers versus personal vehicles.
What it means for your trip
- If you use disabled parking: The layout in the Minnie lot has changed. While the added capacity near the entrance is an improvement, the configuration may not match what you remember from previous visits, so build in a few extra minutes to navigate the new arrangement.
- If you use rideshare: Dedicated spaces should make finding your Uber or Lyft at the end of a long park day much simpler and less chaotic.
- If you drive and park normally: Because spaces near the entrance have been reallocated for drop-off use, the closest available general parking spots may be shifted slightly further back than before.
