Disneyland is expected to start work soon on a new parking structure designed to handle the influx of visitors coming to see the new Avatar themed land, Marvel attractions and Coco boat ride debuting at the Anaheim theme park resort over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Disneyland has filed a building permit with the city of Anaheim to demolish an office building to make way for construction of a 3.2 million-square-foot, 8-level parking structure as part of the $1.9 billion DisneylandForward project.<\/p>\n

The newly filed permit calls for the demolition of the 70,000-square-foot Team Disney Anaheim East building in Disneyland\u2019s Manchester employee parking lot as part of the Eastern Gateway parking structure project, according to Theme Park IQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s utilities will be capped and its foundation will remain after the demolition, according to the permit.<\/p>\n

The Team Disney Anaheim East building in the Manchester parking lot serves as a satellite office to the main Team Disney Anaheim building that sits on the northern border of the Disneyland property along the I-5 Freeway.<\/p>\n

The new 6,000-space Eastside parking structure and transportation hub would push the existing Disneyland bus drop off\/pick up area along Harbor Boulevard to Disneyland\u2019s Manchester employee parking lot.<\/p>\n

Work is scheduled to begin this fall on the multiyear construction project on the east side of the Disneyland theme park resort.<\/p>\n
