Wait 5 sec.

After filing construction permits earlier this month, Disneyland Resort has officially demolished four ticket booths near the entrance to Disneyland Park. Here’s everything we know about the project in the Esplanade between the two Southern California Disney parks.Disneyland Entrance Changes ForeverCredit: Jeremy Thompson, FlickrEarlier this month, Disneyland Resort filed a construction permit to demolish four ticket booths in the Esplanade between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Days later, crews built plywood barriers around the four buildings, and heavy equipment appeared in the area.Disneyland Resort decided to demolish the four ticket booths to make room for a pedestrian bridge connecting to a new parking structure and transportation hub that Disney broke ground on just days ago. The garage will feature 6,000 parking spots, 302 electric vehicle charging stations, a security office, and a hub for shuttles and rideshare transportation–all accessible via a dedicated access road off of Disney Way.Credit: DisneyThe Southern California vacation destination hasn’t announced a grand-opening date for the new parking structure, but it’s the first step in the multimillion-dollar DisneylandForward expansion project. The parking structure and transportation infrastructure will support increased traffic to the Disney parks following the overhaul of Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park and construction of several new attractions at Disney California Adventure Park inspired by Coco (2017), Avatar (2009), and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Disneyland Resort guests who want to purchase theme park tickets in person can still do so at two remaining ticket booths or the Lost & Found Office.Ticket Booths DemolishedCredit: daves_archive, FlickrOn August 31, WDWNT reported that crews had officially demolished the four ticket booths near the entrance to Disneyland Park. The outlet shared a photo of the rubble, barely visible above the construction walls:It’s unclear whether Disneyland Resort will reopen this area after the construction debris is clear, or whether it will immediately begin building the new pedestrian bridge at the site of the former ticket booths.Credit: Ed Aguila, Inside the MagicFollow Inside the Magic for updates on this project and other developments at Disney parks around the world!Are you sad to see these ticket booths disappear from Disneyland Resort?
